This might be a little early to ask since the Night Market isn't on the PTS until next week. But we can already see the Antiquities:

The Night Market is being tested as a temporary zone (maybe-to-become-permanent) –

How will Night Market Antiquities work? (if it doesn't become permanent)

All of the items in the post above are Gold & Purple quality, so they should be buyable after unlock. (Related: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/677582/antiquities-are-missing-from-their-vendors-for-2-3-years/) But it usually takes a while to get 3/3 unlock; sometimes more than a season depending on the RNG.

(I'm VERY grateful that the Eastern Solstice leads were improved – not bad to get! But for example, I never unlocked the Apocrypha Trifold Mirror of Alternatives. Actually I haven't tried in over a year: after dozens upon dozens of tries for the 2/3 lead, I gave up; the zone has been dead for a while and that WB is way too annoying to solo. And yet that's technically still possible, since the zone is still open.)

...So maybe these will drop well enough that reasonably-active Housers can get them, and nothing to worry about. Just curious in advance.

    IA drop rates feel really high, hopefully it’ll be like that. Great point too. I’ll be sure to note down if I come across any and I’ll try to remember to mention how long it took to acquire.

    Thanks!
    You didn't happen to test drops for Solstice dailies, did you? I'm a little worried: This post is about past drop rate changes for structures, for ref: https://moonpile.tumblr.com/post/792523535558049792/eso-u47-solstice-tide-born-sunport-furnishings

    Also, was IA changed?
    Ages ago when the Apocrypha structural plans came out, those drops were awful. Leads were OK, but I thought there was something like a "you've been doing that too much" freeze: when my IA friend and I went very frequently, drops slowed considerably. But if we waited a few days or weeks to go back, something dropped earlier in the run again.

    There's also the issue that 1/3 Lead is generally fast & curated, but 2/3 - 3/3 are what kill us.

    No I did not, I usually don’t test dailies or actively seek out leads but rather fight enemies and note down where I got leads from. That said, I want to see what The Night Market dailies entail so I will actually try to do them this time.

    I’m not sure, I just know whenever I farm IA I end up with a bunch of antiquities and a few furnishing plans.

    No problem! I dug up the leads as well in case I go back in there later this week.

    I saw you in the lobby, I think picking up the quest so it was probably before you died haha.
