So, after reading this thread I go into game on new alt and the Imperial motif immediately drops for me.

This is why your crafter should be an Imperial. So you don't need to look for this motif. I must say, this one is something I just gave up on hoping to find a long time ago. I swear, I got that Ae--something Dust thing twice already, but I have never gotten this motif.

i somehow found like 2 or 3 of those imperial books without even trying, found two of them in a container near Vivec city in less than a month back in 2021. havent found any since then tho, idk if they changed something at the drop rates.

I found 9 of those without ever trying. But the Wolf Tooth Necklace has not dropped once in about 4 years of playing. And I'm killing most wolves that I see on my way to wherever I'm going. Should I be killing some special kind of wolves?

as I understand it, the higher health version that spawns alongside the regular versions tend to drop more loot in general. but anyone of them ought to be able to drop it.

The Sixth House banner and the Ayleid furnishings seem to be the worst offenders for me. I am not into housing but I started to passively attempt to farm these about 2 years ago (I probably do about 1-2 hours of farming out of boredom once a week while levelling skills on new characters and CPs) I have gotten 1 purple Ayleid furnishing I got from Rulanyil's Fall and I have never seen the Sixth House Banner. They are so rare and the banner is to the point of being mythological.

That "Chef Arquitius's Lost Thesis"that well and truly got lost and that you need for the White-Gold War Torte recipe eludes me, I have given up trying to get one from Battlegrounds.

This item only exist to break everyone collection.

Not everyone's! I snagged the fragment from someone in zone chat a few months back! Now I just need to track down about a dozen more furnishing plans and my crafter will be 100% complete!

What did you pay for the fragment?

I've purchased two now for 3.8 million and 4.5 million. My crafter devoured one and I'll most likely sell the other one for a handsome profit.

You got the thesis for 3.8M??? :O [snip]? On what platform and server do you play?

I'm on Xbox/NA. Purchased the first one from a guy advertising in zone chat in Northern Elsweyr and pulled the second off of a guild trader.

There are a number of items in the game that are rare. Some of those are rare by design, eg. aetheric cipher. Others are seemingly rare through an error (like the Khajit Brazier, Enchanted praxis). And then there are items that, while not common, don't sound like they should be all that elusive, but you just never get one.

For me an example of that last category are dwarven construct repair parts. I have never once had one drop for me, despite multiple hours spent in dwarven ruins chasing precursor parts, ebon wolf leads, and the like. If I hadn't seen them in guild stores, I wouldn't have believed they exist.

How about you?

Ummm... you realize the item drops weekly from a very specific trial, some players may not even ever play that trial, so it's rare because you've never completed that veteran trial before (Halls of Fabrication)

I was recently talking about a campfire Motif in the Players Helping players section....for the life of me I can't see why that is rare, why not just put it on the crown store?

what campire are you talking about? @Warhawke_80

Not even an item - how about the “From the Depths” achievement in Necrom? Over the past 3 days I’ve caught well over 500 fish in apocrypha and still NOTHIN. Absolutely insane

I would like a Lesser Soul Gem, it's the one I'm missing.

I fished up well over 1000 fish in Apocrypha and only ever encountered 2 instances of pulling something "From the Depths." RNG in ESO is a fickle mistress, and that's putting it kinder than it deserves.

The Imperial Motif here too. My main started out as an Imperial so it was automatically unlocked or I still wouldn't have it, even tho I loot everything! I've even had an Aetheric Cipher drop but not a single Imperial book

Pyandonean bottles, I remember fishing for them for the motifs.

Rng to get a bottle sucks and when you get one, their is another rng that it contains a motif.

I get a headache now for just see the word Pyandonean.

"Chef Arquitius's Lost Thesis". Been trying for that one from either BGs or guild traders for a long time for any not so rediculously priced. PCNA has gotten crazy with what people want to list it for. XD

@NettleCarrier Saaame! I've been farming this one for ages with a friend and now thinking about buying one
At least the prices on PC EU are not as high for it as on PC NA

I don't now which console you are but Tamriel Trace Center shows there is one on PC NA in Windhelm for 990 Mil and on PC EU one in Belkath for 140 Mil, nothing on console though. But wishing you luck anyway that you find one or can buy one
