Lkory✭✭✭No motif found in the last weeks, neither in VR zones or in normal zones.
And i dont see anyone selling them either. Thats on the NA server.Edited by Lkory on 11 May 2014 00:160 -
Viblo✭✭✭Did a search in the 4 guilds I'm a member of and 267 of them are being sold. On the NA server.Edited by Viblo on 11 May 2014 01:380 -
Avidus✭✭✭There is no shortage of them, nobody care for basic motifs anymore, I don't even try to sell them, i just GBank them.
However the rare Motifs are less common than before, But I still manage to obtain barbaric, so im not phased.1 -
Blade_07✭✭✭✭I appreciate a good challenge and dont want to get things easy in a game and its really cool when I finally get that reward I was working so hard for. But been at this for a week now and nothing to show for my hard work. Really want the motifs so I can make some cool looking gear! Just think the drop rate is to low. I think there are a great many things they need to be working on other then nerfing things for now! They can wip out the nerf stick later.“Man can live about forty days without food, about three days without water, about eight minutes without air, but only for one second without hope.”0

Blade_07✭✭✭✭lol, just got primal. About damn time!
I bragged about in zone chat and somebody offered me 50k for it. Nope! Edited by Blade_07 on 11 May 2014 03:24“Man can live about forty days without food, about three days without water, about eight minutes without air, but only for one second without hope.”0 -

✭✭Just got my first motif (Bosmer) today, so I'm guessing the rate isn't broken, since I never got any before.People believe what they either want to be true or what they are afraid is true!

✭The price of the rare motifs has gone through the roof... Lucky for all those farmers who have stacks of them to sell
Most used to go for 20k each, now..Edited by Natjur on 11 May 2014 20:260 -

✭its rare motifs, not common.
Eso patches its farming abilities, so no longer people will be able to farm it.
Thats why prizes are going up.0 -
drwoody44b14_ESO✭✭✭I'd totally buy a Daedric motif if someone has one. <--Zanther Deathbringer in game.0

Zeeed✭✭✭Daedric motif.... last night some guy wanted to buy it for 150k and still had problems. That says it all.1

Lupinemw✭✭✭If the system dropped one every other place you looked people would moan it was too common, if it doesn't drop when people expect it they moan..
Lets just say people like to moan shall we..

Yep I can't complain about my drop rate, probably managed to fit out a good chunk of my guild with the ones I've dropped. Not picked up any of the special ones yet, but no biggie. I'm willing to wait.

Mjoel✭✭I think Motif droprate is broken in VR zones zenimax please look again at your "sligthly reducment" in Motif droprates i think there is a bug0 -
Zancont✭From my observation - they are tweaking things without telling us anything.
Before last maintenance a lot of containers showed "loot" but 40% were empty and 40+% had lockpicks withe the remaining items being trash.
After last maintenance less than 15% off them resulted in "empty" and I found 4 blue recipes and lots of green ones and yesterday evening within 1 hour 2 regular motifs. Whereas one of the motifs was in a "strange" container - an urn - never expected to find one in there.
Prices for regular motifs are falling towards 2k line which is caused either by drop rate of motifs improved or drop rate of game submissions increased.
What's about the uncommon ones - they are intended to be acquired in veteran ranks, but there are people having the funds to ask for them in a lvl range they can't acquire them as loot - this makes them even more uncommon. Typical market mechanism - demand >> supply - prices sky rocket.0 -
eNumbra✭✭✭✭✭Played from early access on, in the beginning I pulled about 4-5 motifs each day I played on my main. No farming done, just checking every container whenever I entered a building.
Didn't get to VRs on him until right around the drop nerf. I haven't seen any Motifs in VR and I'm up to VR 4 now, and I've seen a few green recipes if that(still holding on to a bugged blue recipe). Now there's one thing that directly affected my ability to pull motifs and that's the fact that VR levels still drop their original provisioning mats, to which I turned off auto-loot and eventually practically stopped bothering with containers altogether; if 99.99% are dropping trash, or empty why bother?
As for my alts still rolling through 1-50, I've seen one motif in two weeks.
Don't care about primal, don't care about barbaric, don't even care about daedric. All I want is ancient elf, so if one of you could point me towards the "right places" to be farming I'd be much obliged.2 -

Not only have I not found a motif in about a week and a half, I've sold two stacks of lockpicks to the vendor. Two stacks. I'm provisioning so I loot everything. I also hardly ever see provisioning recipes anymore.Edited by Drachenfier on 12 May 2014 14:050 -

BrassRazoo✭✭✭✭✭Do Motifs still exist? or Recipes for that matter.
I thought they were replaced by Lockpicks and ... Empty1 -

It's not just provisioning.
On my EP characters (three of them) going through the starter islands and up through stonefalls, I had a full jewelry set by level 7 or so from quest rewards (one of the very first quests in Davon's watch gives a blue ring), i had glyph drops out the ying yang (on all three). On my DC character, didn't get a single piece of jewelry from quest until I did the first harborage quest around level 8. I hardly ever get glyphs, ever. I think in 10 levels I've deconned maybe 8 glyphs from mob drops.Edited by Drachenfier on 12 May 2014 16:060 -
No they lowered the drop rate. It's in one of the patch note. 1.0.7 I think.Just finished my new signature......Images are not allowed in signatures. Remove them and save to keep the changes.0 -
Food4Thought✭✭✭Drachenfier wrote: »Haven't seen a motif drop in over a week
Same if not even longer. It is funny too. I got 8 out of ten commons in no time with virtually no overlap. The ninth took a while and I still am missing the 10th.
For the lower level player crafters I run into, very few seem to have learned any motifs. I have been wondering if maybe the drop rate for the common and rare motifs were modified soon after release to the point they hardly drop at all now.0 -
TomSamuel✭✭they are rarer now as they should have been, I found one Breton one since the patch . Im glad . Prices for them will increase. It was *** before , I'd just put them in a random guild bank0
Imagine how much is Deadric worth now.
