    It's a motif for crafting your own gear.
    I dont think its worth any more than the other main motifs,such as Breton. Personally,I just dont know why all the hooplah over it.The motif doesnt give you any extra buffs or anything.
    Wait,if you are asking how much it is going for ingame,..anywhere from 10,000 up.
    Though why people pay that much I cant imagine.

    I just think the imperial motif was worth so much gold because it was much rarer to find. Other than that it would not be worth any more than other racial motifs.

    I know. It would be easier to just get an Imp player to make Imperial armor for them.

    Rarity and demand. Also there is a unique dye unlocked for having a complete collection of the original 14 motifs, so there's that.

    I tried to buy one from Trader but I couldnt, every time it told, you're "Searching too fast" something like that, so I think its not possible anymore. I tried multiple times.

    It's worth whatever people are prepared to pay for it. I sold one for 41k yesterday (NA PC Server), so I'd say 41k.

    Except maybe the Imp player doesn't want to take half an hour out of their playtime, maybe running around to different set crafting stations to craft gear for you when you could just go and get the motif and do it yourself ;)

    I play over a year now and never got one. Never found Imperial and Barbaric Motif, I even searched for them. Finally I bought both.

    I remember when the Imperial Motif was over 150k. I bougt it for 60k on PC, not that expensive.

    so it seems, I just got very lucky that all my 7 non-imperial alts found it before they even were at level 5. I think it is obvious, that to me that motif is not of a greater value, if it is so easy to find - but I see now, that it was really very lucky.

    Completely worthless. Even 5k is too much for something that common. Too easy to find, and with all the people capable of converting any style to imperial at will reduces its value even more.

    100k+ on console. No one wears it just a selling item only. Saw the whole glass motif for sale for the first time the other day. 500k seemed pretty cheap given swords and shields are 80k each at the moment.

    Where are you finding them if they're so common? I only find the blue ones fairly regularly.

    There is a difference to what I think it's worth and what it is worth in the game at present though OP...

    I think it isn't worth the price tbh, but I picked 80 because on DC you can get 80k for it without too much effort.

    It should be worth whatever people are willing to pay for it. I'm not sure what your point is tbh, but supply and demand should determine prices. Nothing has inherent value in a video game.

    It's losing its value simply because new motifs are better looking.

    ZoS really needs to go back and revise all of the old motifs to use the new altered mesh options. I know, they've said they won't. But, in the long term, this is something that really needs to happen.
