Is it realistically feasible to find all the Furnishing plans by yourself?

Finding them all by yourself without buying them?

any Myth Busters around?

When you play ESO 24/7 maybe

You can technically.

I suppose that whilst ofc it is possible, whether it's realistic is the real problem.

If you allow for getting repeats and remember there are some really, really rare drops, even playing 24/7, I suspect it could take years.

Personally I now approach furnishing plans from the point of view that I prefer to play as I wish and buy the plans as and when I need to use that item. 🏗🏗

The droprates on a lot of plans (ex Ayleid ones) are so incredibly low that no, it is definitely not realistically feasible.

No. It's not. I know of people who have them all, but all of them did trades or sells to get stubborn items. I don't think you can realistically farm all the plans by yourself.

When I started playing that was the plan. Over the years I became more lenient about buying them as there were some I wanted for some of my houses and they weren't dropping for me.

Originally I wanted to obtain all of the plans without resorting to guild stores. That morphed into only buying the ones I "needed", and as the drop rate deteriorated it became "I don't care anymore".

Murkmire was bad enough for plan drops. Fargrave/The Deadlands took furnishing plan drops to a whole new level. A friend of mine stopped playing for more than a month due to that. I began collecting writ vouchers to get them (and yes, I've been playing less too - partially due to drop rates).

Another reason I gave up trying is that there are plans listed (on the web and/or addons) that might not exist in game - for example: one of the Orc thrones. Others are so rare as to be virtually non-existent, like the Khajiit brazier that might drop from the Elsweyr prologue daily quest giver.

Greetings,

After further review we have decided to move this thread to a category we think is more appropriate for this topic.

Thank you for your understanding.

Wish we had an event for these

There are so many out there, that while it's technically possible to farm them all yourself, you're typically better off farming gold and buying the vast majority of them that way. Maybe along the way you get lucky with some of the more rare ones like Ayleid or the older Dwemer plans.

I have been farming for plans quite a bit and it would take forever. I focused on the alinor plans and do it daily, missing quite a bit still

Sticky_Paws · June 2022

I have farmed the vast majority and am at 100% pre-High Isle plan knowledge on my main toon/crafter. However its tedious as a farm grind. I'll admit I have bought many plans in my collection. ( High Isle was release two days ago on my platform)

Technically, but not practically. Almost all plans are pretty low drop rate and you would need to spend an extraordinary amount of time trying to farm them.

It would likely be not only faster, more profitable to spend your time in activities that help you make gold, some of which might actually be plan farming as some plans go for quite a bit.
