Where to Find Rare Style Motifs, ie. Barbaric, Primal, etc.?

Hey, so I hear it was possible to get the rare Crown Store motifs such as Ancient Elf, Barbaric, Daedric, and Primal in game. Is this true? If so, are there certain places that are better for looking for these motifs?

In addition, how much do these books usually sell for through in-game guilds? Lastly, if trading is allowed through forums, would anyone be willing to trade/sell me these styles?

    it can be found in non-food containers (trunks/urns/backpacks/wardrobes/etc) buut rather rare and it seems then only in VR zones (or may be in nonVR probability is too small) all puprle books i've found were in VR zones (e.g. I've found 2-3 barbaric books in bank in Glenumbra in VR1 zone).

    Thanks everyone for the helpful posts! I guess I'll just have to wait till I'm a bit higher and grind out for them myself. Or maybe once I make the big bucks I'll be able to buy them from my guildies. Thanks again though!

    It was much easier to get the motifs pre-Justice system when you could simply loot bank chests/drawers/desks/cabinets log out to reset the loot and loot again. At least 1-2 motifs per hour of looting ... now more tricky that it's "stealing" but still doable.

    The rate motifs appear to be only loot able in the appropriate V zones though.
    Everyone knows the phenomenon of trying to hold your breath underwater - how at first it's alright and you can handle it, and then as it gets closer and closer to the time when you must breathe, how urgent the need becomes, the lust and the hunger to breathe. And then the panic sets in when you begin to think that you won't be able to breathe - and finally, when you take in air and the anxiety subsides...that's what it's like to be a vampire and need blood.

    Barbaric and Primal can be found in Cadwell's Silver zones and Ancient Elf and Daedric can be found in Cadwell's Gold zones. Harder to find than the blue motifs but checking every container you should eventually find them.

    As for Imperial I only found it once in game in a Vet zone bank but supposedly it can appear in any zone it is just very hard to find.
