Rare armor motif locations

IBentley92

Hello I am AD VR9 and I was hoping to get information on where I could find Barbaric, Ancient Elf, Primal, Daedric motifs. Maybe even dwarven and Imperial as well. If anyone could tell me what areas to search for each and the type of container that would be so helpful and appreciated. Thanks for reading guys.

Primal & Barbaric in Cadwell's Silver zones, Ancient Elf & Daedric in Cadwell's Gold zones, Imperial in any zone (but abysmal drop chance). All these motifs come from any of these containers:

• Nightstand
• Desk
• Wardrobe
• Dresser
• Cabinet
• Cupboard
• Trunk/chest (the unlocked ones)
• Backpack
• Urn

The Dwemer motif comes in pages (14 in total) from any Dwemer container in any Dwemer based delve. There is a chance to find a yellow book, but that chance is so low you better wait for hell to freeze over.

I found a page the first time I went to a Dwemer cave. Can I go there over and over to find more?
Wonder what's the rate to find a page in a Dwemer cave.

Yes you can. It was assumed that there is an artificial limit of 1 page per hour at the time I did that. So as soon as I got a page, I left and did something else for a while. A couple hours later, I returned and farmed again until next page.

It took me maybe three weeks to get all except one (staves) and by that time I had enough duplicates to make an irresistible offer for a trade

EDIT: I know some had all 14 pages only a couple days after introduction, so my rate is (was at that time) very low.

I believe there is a cool down timer on the drops, and it's about every 20 or 30 minutes. I don't think this is per account, but per character. So, find a chapter, go do content for 30 minutes, then go loot a dwemer dungeon. Note, if you find a chapter, there will not be any more in that dungeon until possibly next time. But there are still scraps and other things to get from the containers.

In my experience, it takes about 4 to 10 dwemer ruins to find a chapter, and that might be because I miss a container that may have had it. But I doubt you will ever get more than 1 chapter per every 4 to 6 loot runs over time.

Would someone mind letting me know where all delves are in EP like the area and what's the name of delves

Check this page on UESP wiki. It says if it is a dwemer delve for all factions.

The rare are exactly that. I steal and then sell/launder about 100 a day when I play for more than 5 or so hours. Good money to be made from it. Also I'm trying to get daedra hearts out there in mass and cheap so people realise others are ripping them off. I've found about 25 blue motors and not 1 of the rare ones. Maybe you need a lot office or hardcore farming.
