Question about crown furniture - plans findable?

So when I opened the crown furniture store at my house, I noticed that I could purchase items that I've definitely already learned the plans for, including purples. I suppose my question to the devs is this: do all furnishings in the house crown store have associated plans/designs/etc that can be found from looting? Or are there definitely items that have no associated plan, and can ONLY be bought in the crown store?

I have a feeling the plants listed in the store are store-exclusives, but are any of the actual furnishings?

    Nearly every item in the Purchase tab is also available via crafting or from other in-game sources with a few exceptions for items found exclusively in Crown Store bundles.

    That's from the patch notes. Nearly is the key word there. There's definitely some crown exclusive stuff... Such as the interactable fireplace logs.

    Not sure on trees, be sure to check the home goods vendor in ALL zones. Each vendor seems to sell plants that are in that particular zone.

    I was thinking of the imperial water fountain in particular.

    Imperial anything is exclusive to crown store. Can't craft imperial at all...

    Lot's of things are crown store exclusive.

    Check out Dominoid's furniture spreadsheet for a rundown.

    It only goes up to PTS 2.7.4 but that has almost all the furnishings that are on the live server.

    Quite a few trees fall into that category, all the imperial furnishings, as well as those gorgeous Redguard dining chairs.

    It goes the other way too. There is furniture available through crafting that you can't get on the crown store. I had to pay $30k for a Breton chandelier because the only ones on the crown store were Redguard and Orc.

    That chandelier sucks anyway. I bought it only to realize after that it doesn't come with a chain to hang it from the ceiling. :angry:

    Promptly resold.

    Yesterday I spent, sorry... wasted, two hours combing every blasted guild store in tamriel for purple redguard or Breton bookcases. Plans or finished items..... and found absolutely nothing, not of any style.... :#

    Two

    Blasted

    HOURS!!!!!

    I reached such a frenzy of frustration that at one point I would of happily paid a quarter of million gold per bookcase! No more though, I give up, it can't be done, either the drop rate is screwed up or ZOS forgot to include them. Never thought I'd say this but I reackon I'm going to buy them from the crown store.... :(

    I placed it high and decided that since I'm a sorcerer I *made* it stay up there. With magick.

    Did you consider the fact that this update has been out for less than 2 weeks so we're still in the early stages of it? The fact that someone doesn't have that exact plan or furnishing on a guild trader right now doesn't mean it can't be found, or even that it's especially hard to find, just that none of the people in those guilds had found one and decided to sell it.

    At the moment you're almost more likely to get what you want by asking in your guild or even in zone chat for someone to craft it for you because a lot of people are picking up recipes and learning them instead of selling them, but then they're holding off on making furniture because they don't want to use the materials on something that won't sell.

    Although I think it's also a disadvantage of ESOs trade system. Your options are to buy from your own guild or buy from a guild that can hold onto a trader. Unless you're in a trading guild your guild is unlikely to be selling much of anything, and guilds who can hold onto a trader are under constant pressure to make the most money they can, so they don't want to 'waste' their slots on anything except high value items. So you can easily find traders selling multiple copies of the same few high value items (like painting or purple CP 160 weapons) but it's impossible to find things which should be much more widely available.

    The other day I went around about 10 different traders looking for ebony and fel hide (raw or refined) and couldn't find it anywhere. I asked why and was informed that it's "inefficient" to sell it. But if I want rubidite it's everywhere.

    Two million gold dropped on writs just to get that damn bookcase plan. Still nothing. I feel you. If you're on PC/NA and I get it, want me to shoot you a whisper?
