What are some easy full motif books to acquire?

Malyore · February 16

I'm trying to get grand master crafter, I only have 3 more full motifs I need to learn. Are there some low cost basics other than racial and primal/daedric that are sold in full books or very cheap pages? The full books on the crown store are 5k crowns which is like the cost of a full DLC lol. I can't even imagine how much gold some of them cost.

Other than Primal, Barbaric, Daedric and Ancient Elf:

New Moon is pretty cheap and easy to get pages for. I’m not sure about the holiday pages (Skinchanger, Hallowjack) anymore; for Hallowjack you might be better off looking for old Witches Festival Writs and completing those. And there are some Motifs like IIRC Dremora or Assassin’s League where some pages are trivial/cheap to find but others aren’t because they drop from different activities.

Really the easiest way is probably to check your local guild traders and just buy everything you don’t know under a certain price limit, prioritizing Motifs you’re already close to completing.

Ra gada that drops from the craglorn trials usually sells for super cheap! You will have to buy pages separately but they don’t tend to cost too much, and dremora from the witches festival is usually dirt cheap too. Would honestly recommend checking the guild banks of any guilds you’re in as loads of people chuck the dremora ones in there.

Buying from the crown store is almost always the most expensive way to get a motif (if you use the crown:gold exchange).

You can either search guild stores for the cheap ones (like Celestial, New Moon Priest, etc...)

They will get significantly cheaper in April with the anniversary event when motifs drop like candy.

Alternatively, you can just create a new character and learn the base-game racial motifs on that character. With Account Wide Achievements it makes the "learn 50 motifs" for GMC trivial, as you can just learn the base game motifs on a few characters and get it for the entire account.

This worked wonders. Thanks.
