Imperial Motif---really worth 125k gold?

    Got 45K for mine when it sold.
    Been here since Feb 2014 - You'd think I'd be half reasonable at this game by now...

    I sold one for about half that, but I had originally obtained mine from an extra Daedric motif I had... the Imperial to me and me the Daedric to them, as well as they gave me 10k gold. This was a few days before the color of the Imperial changed to "gold". haha Then my extra I had sold off when I stumbled upon it.

    Is it worth it? Not in my opinion. Not unless you have a high demand of people asking you for Imperial items. As someone who can craft anything in the game, I will tell you... most ask for Daedric or one of the other rare ones, but usually Daedric then some still prefer the Motifs 1-9 styles.

    This is what I paid
    Imperial- 0 (I am an imperial)
    Deadric- 17k
    Ancient elf- 15k
    Barbaric- 13k
    Primal- 13k
    It's all about negotiating and waiting for the right seller.

    I see the Imperial motif going pretty regularly for 40-50k. I certainly would not pay over 50k for it.

    But, one man's treasure is another man's junk.

    I still say they should get rid of motifs altogether, and rather make it so that when you find a weapon/piece of armour and then deconstruct it, you automatically learn that style - but only for the particular item you deconstructed (i.e. deconstruct a Breton helm - you now know how to craft helms in Breton style, but only helms. And so on.)

    There's is a two sided view on this..
    It's worth on what people find it worth to be.
    People will pay what they want to pay, and if they don't want to pay 125k, good for them, they can always look for another seller.

    I see it go for around 40-50k all the time on NA in Riften. I will seriously buy it at 40k and sell it to you for 45k if you ever consider buying it at 125k. 125 is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen.

    No. I guess it's worth whatever someone will pay for it, but I see it going from 40K-50K most of the time.

    WORTH it? No.

    People will pay it, however. Doesn't make it -worth- that price. Not to me, anyway.
    I am not spending a single penny on the game until changes are made to the game that I want to see.
    1) Remove having to be in a guild to sell items to other players at a kiosk.
    2) Cosmetic modding for armor and clothing.
    3) Difficulty slider.
    4) Fully customizable player housing that isn't tied to anything in the game other than having the correct resources and enough gold to build. Don't tie it to PvP, guild membership, or anything at all. Oh, make it instanced so as not to take up world map space, too. Zeni screwed this one up already.
    Any /one/ of these things implemented would get me spending again, maybe even subbing.

    Looting every crate and being patient is worth doing to save a stupid amount of money.

    I do want all motifs, more to complete the collection rather than doing trade or what's not. I never bought any motif and over time I got all the blue ones. 2h after entering the V1 zone, I found the primal one.

    Do yourself a favour, save that money for more useful stuff. You'll find it eventually. If you get to V12 and sit on hundreds of thousands of unused gold, then go on.

    Yep, like was said, its worth depends on how much someone is willing to pay.

    Plz let us not forget players like me, who have the Imperial Edition, but are too stupid to notice that means you can make Imperial gear with the upgrade. I paid 45K for mine. I also bought all the purple motifs as well, not because I like any of them (all ugly and/or boring compared to the playable races ones IMO) but because I'm a lemming and figured if everyone else was doing it, it must be good. Should have saved up for a purple food recipe instead!

    I find it ridiculous that Ancient Elf and Daedric is much cheaper than Imperial style. Daedric should have been the legendary one.

    THAT is actually worth spending money on. Recipes...

    They go really expensive too but at lease they do something useful and not just cosmetic
