imperial not barbaric

but what do you mean they can't be farmed? yesterday ppl were selling them like crazy in zone chat.

Insanyti · May 2014

They CAN be farmed. People do it all the time.

I myself am not yet in a veteran area but once you reach there you can farm the same way you do for the lower rarity motifs.

This *** has to end imo. Just make the skins less rare and increase the reward (gold) given from mobs. Im getting tired they give goldfarmer a reason to continue what they are doing. Gold shouldnt be that importend imo. And lower the freaking prices of the horses for christ sake.

I know Wayrest Bank is plentiful in motif containers. Lots of desks, nightstands and trunks.

Want yor full VR10 set while you are at it? Sometimes thing in video games aren't simply handed to you on a platter, rare drops are rare for a reason. That is why they are expensive, because they are difficult to find.

You should also be able to afford a horse at around level 25, which is completely reasonable.

I would also appreciate it if you didn't use language as you did, in relation to the last few words of your post. It offends me and may offend others.

You trying to impose your beliefs on someone through censorship offends me, and may offend others. Door swings both ways. Furthermore, I'm sick of this false argument that "person A wants thing X nearly unobtainable thing in a game, so therefore he must also want Y and Z with no effort." It's ignorant, and quite offensive to assume that because someone actually wants a FAIR chance at something in a VIDEO GAME, something that they may never get without being taken advantage of by buying it from price gouging exploiters, that they are somehow just a lazy bum who wants everything "handed" to them.

Okay tiger, put the claws away. I'm not trying to impose anything on anyone, just asking nicely for someone not to say something that offends me. It is the equivalent of a slap in the face, my religion is extremely important to me. But saying that, I really don't want to get into a debate about religion on an MMO forum.

You have your own opinions about itemization in MMOs than I do obviously, let's leave it at that shall we

irishdexy · May 2014

There is a very clear difference between someone who want everything handed to them on a plate and one who is willing to work for it. I would for example love to get a Motif when I'm leveling through VR Zones but has this ever happened? No it hasn't and I have spent countless hours from VR1 to VR9 (I'm a slow leveller who likes to do all the missions and enjoy the story)

Also it's nice to leave religion out of any and all forum posts since its against the rules and will end up offending someone and yea we don't want to get stuck in that annoying infinite loop... that includes if your offended by peoples wording or not too btw

Be Happy!

Chrisu · May 2014

It depends on your faction.The imperial motif will drop in your home faction. Ancient Elves and Deadric in your third faction (VR6-10 zones).
For DC you can try Wayrest bank (as mentioned above).
For AD I recommend Vulkhel Guard bank.
For EP the big open building and the Inn in Shor's Stone (The Rift)

I check Shor's Stone (third faction for me) whenever I log on/off and the Vulkhel Guard bank when I'm on my mule. I found about 5 common and one deadric and ancien elf motif since 1.1.2.

Cybrdroyd · May 2014

I've found only one motif so far, it was in the bank building in Vulkhel Guard. I hope I find more in my travels, but I understand its rare. I'm not one to buy expensive items just to have them. I think the fun is in finding them. They won't make any money off of me.

Ser Lobo · May 2014

If I could earn motiffs as a VR gift? That would make me happy.

If I could earn motiffs from earning harder achievements? Sure, happy again.

You don't have to just leave them for loot. Heck, you can actually do it more than one way.

True, or even learning them by dc items in that style... they just welcomed bots and gold sellers in this game with that aproach.

I agree with that. I already suggested this (+ maybe as reward for certain quest lines, like for the guilds) a few weeks ago via /feedback. You should do the same, if you didn't do it yet

Sadly by far the best chance you have will pop up regularly in the mail. These things should be bind on acquire, have some sort of reasonable drop rate and be the reward for some particularly epic achievement.

Like finding a resource in the starter areas or something.

Aaklor · May 2014

what you are asking, is for people that hit the honey hole for motifs to tell you where it is? thus giving them competition. I don't see it happening.

I think that's a double edge sword. When Age of Conan came out horses where pretty expensive(not like in ESO though) and I remember busting my butt farming leather and selling it at the auction house to get one, and was really more excited than I should have been for getting a horse in a video game, but it was a goal none the less. After awhile they dropped the prices so that you could them almost get them immediately. That kind of ticket a lot of their loyal crowd off, but I guess if I started the game when they were cheap I would have appreciated it. I got the Imperial Edition and it's great being able to have a horse right away for all my characters.

This is what I wish Bethesda/Zenimax would do. Either finally put in a trading office, or have an NPC sell the motifs, if even just the rares. Prices wouldn't be off the wall for the rares and you would have a target to shoot for. I guess getting to Veteran is target and HOPE they aren't rare drops and that I haven't moved on to another game by then.

It's their first MMO and I think they are slowly getting a handle on the balance of things.

Why should we be able to afford a horse at 25? You and others keep saying this. But, never explain what it is we are doing "wrong".

I have never had more than 37k on my level 37 main, and don't have it now. My entire income comes from quest rewards, ornate items and such. If not for imperial pack I would struggle for horse. And have not fed it once. My gold is going up better since repair costs went down. So that might be enough for me to improve.

I rarely get any motifs dropping, never seen a rare. Saw my first purple bit of gear as a drop early this week. I doubt I am the only one. I sell the odd ones I do get since my two crafting toons have all the "regulars". Far as I am concerned I will get a rare when I get one. Not fussed, particularly. Be nice to have them, and would use 2 of each for said crafting toons.

Why is everyone so stressed about being 'offended' these days? So what you were offended - it happens. Man up

Neil_Machine · May 2014

I don't believe there is anything wrong with caring about something enough that it irks me when people use what I regard as disrespectful language, whether purposefully or otherwise.

If it came across that I was butt hurt, I wasn't, I just mentioned that I would appreciate it if that sort of language wasn't used. Do I think what I write on an internet forum will change anyone's mind, or make people care? Probably not, but hey, gotta have a shot.

morashtakb16_ESO · May 2014

Ah-hem! back on topic....

My trick was to go back to the cities that you pacify/clear/etc via questing - Seems that very few people do this or else do not care to clear the towns. Of course, these were VR6 or better questing areas.

All the bags, etc were full of something, no competition to get to the containers, and no angst about thinking you missed out.

Six hours of nothing but looting backpacks, wardrobes, cabinets, etc netted me both Ancient Elf And Deadric motifs.

Now to hunt down the Sasquatch of motifs; the elusive Imperial!

METALPUNKS · May 2014

The bank in wayrest is amazing for finding motifs right now. I found around 7 in that bank and I was NOT logging and relogging. Just everytime I go in I check. That's 7 in two days!

I've been trading them for armor traits I need. Finally got heavy chest divines.

Ulvich · May 2014

I don't understand why we even have them in the first place. What makes Nord any better then Daedric? Or Orc any better then Imperial? Looks? It's all based on who likes what. Me? I hate the way the Daedric armor looks, and would rather go with Imperial or Nord.
