My question is, can you get Gold Stolen items from Pick pocketing? I have succeeded to get purple so that made me wonder.

    Sadly, I haven't found a gold yet. Neither a purple, while I have reached the "pickpocket a thousand citizens"-achi more than a month ago, and do the job since, also. But I do not wonder about it, as I see ZOS' attitude about it, the nerfing value of the items, the BoP items, even after launder...

    Not really, people buy their items from the Crown Store on their own will, after all.

    I haven't seen any gold items yet although I'm doing my daily routes with several characters.
    Purple items I found 2 or 3 by now, but also a few purple recipes and motifs which count towards an achievement, too. I haven't seen an achievement for finding a gold item, so I assume they don't exist.

    My feelins about is it actually too low in cost.. Purple is 3x as "valueable" than a blue but it is 100x rarer atleast than blue.

    To me that doesnt make sense, either they make the gain more for getting a purple or reduce rarity. I can expect it to become not that amazing thing to get purple after a while because well its just the same as 3 blue items? Thats not much of a difference.

    I don't think I have every heard players or developers speak of gold items to steal (other than imperial motifs) there also isn't an achievement to reflect it.

    Thats a good point out, else if there were a gold there would obviously be an achievement right? How could that 1 not be an achievement? Hmmm maybe its a secret achievement :open_mouth: That would be cool

    I don't think there are gold items. Purple ones are extremely rare already. But who knows :)

    I've stolen both an imperial motif and a primal one, so yeah, they are there. There are places I rob regularly on my rounds that have yielded motifs, mostly blue ones. A guildmate also verified that she's found 3 Imperial ones so far.

    The only gold item I have stolen is the Imperial Motif, once, and that was from a dresser if I remember correctly, definitely not from pickpocketing.

    Whenever there is RNG shenanigans going on, this applies:
