sick of blue motifs

bigbabyleonb16_ESO

Is this a bug or something as all i keep getting are blue motifs! All i have got are around 15 blues this week and its only early wendesday, I got a rank 2 mage and 39 nightblade and both just keep getting blue.

I know the purple/yellow are meant to be rare but its kinda strange its always blue and i've been playing a few months with no sign of anything nearly to rare

Purple's will only come in vet zones. You'll get blue until you get there.

I have been in vet zones with my rank 2 mage, i'm getting nothing and been searching for 2 weeks with him and got nothing but blue.

Where are you searching for them? Particular rare motifs drop in certain places e.g. Dwemer pages only drop in Dwemer ruins.

After quite a long period without finding purple motifs, found 2 purple motifs, exactly the same one, within an hour of one another (approx). This was about 2 weeks back. Both were inside delves in one of the veteran zones.

I've been lucky in Orsinium. In 2 days I found 2 epic motifs.

Dwemer pages only drop from dwemer containers, those containers dont have to be in a dwemer ruin

TheShadowScout

Purple motivs are pretty rare... especially since its hard to focus-farm for them. Dwemer pages are easiest, since you can generally expect to get one if you just go through a dwemer ruin, and look into every single container...
The "normal" ones on the other hand... with them, you're at the mercy of the gods of the die roll. I think in all my time playing, I found what, three or four of those?
Blue motivs on the other hand, enough to drown in...

Yeah, I too would appreciate it is purple motivs got a tad easier to find. but with them selling those in the crown store for the people who really cannot be patient, I don't see this happening.

I have the farming secrets you want. I find purple motifs on an almost daily basis now. Just gotta know where to look

Very true, I found an Imperial Motif in Vulkhel, but this is a long time ago, when my new main was level 16 or so I think.

Purple motifs fall more in vet areas, but Imp motifs can fall anywhere, at any level.

MrDerrikk

I've only ever found Dwemer motifs that are not the normal blue ones, plus I've only found 3 of these overall

Really, they're so rare that you'll be better off buying them from the people that RNG smiles more favorably on...

Do you really want to farm the rare Dwemer containers outside of the ruins though that just makes me wince at the tedium

I only get the stuff for frames, never anything else.

No. Orsinium is the home of Blue Motifs. And lockpicks. Lots and lots of lockpicks...

I recommend doing the Harborage quests, my low level found Ancient Elf and Primal in urns during her quests for The Prophet!

I found my first few purples in the last couple of weeks, so my experience is quite the opposite.

Actually my unlucky ass has only ever gotten 1 Dwemer Chapter (Leggings) of all the times I've ever checked Dwemer Containers and I've been through Dwemer Ruins several times lol

But yeah it all comes down to RNG. Around my first month or so of playing I had found 2 Imperial Motifs while I was in non-Vet areas, but I haven't found another one since and aside from the aforementioned Dwemer page all I have found is a Primal Motif.

I've gotten Purples in non-vet zones quite a few times. A lot more lately,in Reapers March.

The original purples, save Dwemer, should not be available from what I understand in non-vet areas via containers and the like (Ancient Elf, Barbaric, Primal, and Daedric). Has that changed without us knowing or are you referring to other purples? lol

I've farmed today, (don't like farming) and i must have been in them around 20-30 times already with no pages. get back to stromhaven and what do i get, 2 blues.

istateres

I almost always get 1 Dwemer (purple) motif each time I loot a Dwemer delve. I do open ALL the containers (+20) so it can take a bit of time. The other purple motifs seem to be really rare, which makes sense since they are books and the dwemer are chapters.

This is absolutely untrue.

My level 22 DK found a Purple Dwemer Page in the first Dwemer Ruins that you meet the Dunmer Siblings in in EP.

Divinius

If you could trade in 36 blue motifs to get one purple, I'd have all the purples by now...

What I don't understand is how these Blue motifs can still sell on the guild traders. Between my main and my 4 alts I usually find 7 or 8 a day and I sell them all within a days time. With that said, since I started playing in July I have only found about 12 purple motifs and 1 Gold (Imp) motif. I still have all the purple ones in my bank since none of my characters have lev 50 in crafting yet .

That may be due to where you're selling them - my trade guild is in Wayrest, and I've yet to sell a single one there.

At this point, I have so many of the blue motifs, I've started just giving away full sets in the Auridon zone every now and then.

You can find Dwemer and Imperial at any level.
I found a Dwemer chapter at 5th or 6th level in the Dwemer ruin on Stros M'kai and an Imperial motif at about 10th level in a cupboard in a house in Ebonheart.
