    Vet zones only. Copper & Argentum ( barbaric & primal) will be your 1st vet run in Cadwells Silver & Cadwells Gold 3rd allience will have all 4 ( daedric & ancient elf ) Same with motifs. Can get these the same way you get any other motif trait. Dwemmer is available at any dwemmer ruin and isn't VR related.

    You can find Copper pre-VR levels from any container; backpacks, urns, desks, wardrobes, etc. Pretty sure the same is true for Argentum. Daedric (Daedra Hearts) and Ancient Elf (Palladium) will be scarce until you hit Coldharbour or veteran zones. It's possible to deconstruct gear of those respective styles--Ancient Elf and Daedric--and get the style mats from them, however, I'd have to agree with Eleusian as far as mass farming. That being said, Dwemer ruins have by far the most concentrated number of containers per instance, way more so than any ordinary delve or public dungeon, which is why many people farm them. Dwemer mobs have a chance to drop scraps, which you can refine into frames (Dwemer style material); 10 scraps per frame. You can also loot scraps from urns and containers in Dwemer ruins.

    *Note: It's helpful when querying on these forums to provide your alliance and level since those directly affect how and where you can farm.

    For tips on how to farm style materials, provisioning recipes, and motifs, check out my guide: forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/202183/dwemer-motifs-farming-tips#latest

    The title of the thread may be slightly misleading, but I assure you it's relevant to your question. For EP farming I would suggest the Inner Sea Armature (Dwemer ruin) northwest of Davon's Watch. If you choose to use my farming method, be sure to keep an eye on when you enter and leave the instance! Again, keep in mind that depending on your level the loot tables for containers will change. If you @Dlevor aren't vet level yet, then don't expect to find Daedra Hearts from the Inner Sea Armature. Normally, those would be reserved for gold areas, but since you're EP, you're unlucky. There aren't any Dwemer ruins in the Aldmeri Dominion, which I'm guessing means they'd all be in your silver area (Daggerfall Covenant).

    Happy hunting!

    No, you cannot find copper/argentum until Cadwell's Silver via looting the usual containers. The only ways to get copper, argentum, daedra hearts, and palladium pre-vet is:

    1. Rare chance to drop from Heavy Sacks and Wet Gunny Sacks
    2. Rare chance to receive them from your equipment hirelings
    3. Deconstructing gear in those styles (Coldharbour for Daedric; I deconned some pieces for argentum in my alliance zone 4/5)
    4. Purchasing from guild traders/other players
    5. Finding in guild bank or given from other players

    You CANNOT loot these prior to veteran zones except in heavy sacks/wet gunny sacks. I've been playing since early access on PC and looted extensively prior to the Justice System and no copper, etc. dropped until VR zones.

    I had received a ton of copper at pre-Vet levels, but then again I've also had 7 alts with 3 hirelings each that I get mail from daily. Thanks for correcting me.

    Yeh, you will get copper, Argenntum and palladium rarely pre vet by deconning weapons. Mostly Argenntum. You may get some hearts from doing this in coldharbour. I had 8. Some of the items are unique drops off delve bosses. So you may have less items. Also, it depends on your skill level and rng when deconning.

    But looting it from containers etc, vet 1-5 vones for Argenntum and copper, vet 6-10 for daedra hearts and palladium.

    Dwemer will be from any Dwemer urn. Mostly found in Dwemer delves. Remember you'll only find scrap. 10 of them are then refined to Dwemer frame.

    Same applies for motifs
