I need only Shoulder and dagger motif. Last time I opened chests I got only 2 types of motifs with 8 keys. Unfortunately cant remember which vault I was in (dropped endurance jewelleries). I think these motifs drop like the Jewelleries, only few motifs / vault?
EDIT: COMPLETE LIST HERE:
Planar Armor: Elven Garden
Chest
Helmets

Legionary: Nobles
Legs
Shields

Monstrous Tooth: Temple
Axes
Daggers
Swords

Clawed: Arborterum
Bows
Staves
Maces

Ethereal: Arena
Gloves
Shoulders

Bone Shard:
Memorial
Belts
Boots

    All the vaults have some (not overly high but not 1/100 either) chance to drop Xiv motifs, last I checked. Only thing that differs from vault to vault is the sets/pieces they drop.
    WGT and ICP vaults do not drop motifs but you probably didn't have these in mind anyway.

    Opened 3x Planar armor vault, got 3x Xivikyn helmets motif. This place drops endurance items so dont recommend opening it again.
    Opened 2x Ethereal trophy vault, got 2x Xivikyn Shoulders. This place drop willpower items.
    Opened 1x Ethereal trophy vault, got Xivikyn Gloves motif.
    Opened 1x Bone shard vault, got Xivikyn Boots and willpower stuff
    Opened 1x Bone shard vault, got Xivikyn Belts.
    Opened 3x Clawed vault, got Bows, Maces, Staves and agility stuff.
    Opened 5x Ethereal trophy vault. Got 2x Golves motif and 3x Shoulders.

    I am going to update here when I open more chests in other vaults. (may take months :tongue: )

    You can buy the pages farily cheap! And sell the stones to open the vaults for more than the pages.

    Already bought the daggers.
    But I still want to find out wether all motifs drop from all vaults or if they are divided between vaults. I never found the answer to this question while googling. At the moment it seem like they are divided but I'll be updating when I open more.

    I also got sharpened willpower sword and arcance neclkace which i sold for 50K+10K. I think I rather open the vaults myself than sell the key fragments :smile:

    Are you running the treasure hunter passive??

    I opened a load of vaults the other day whilst having that passive and I got a motif in every chest......

    Might have just been a RNG lucky day but also might be worth considering. :)

    Haven't put too much into it but it does seem that each vault has two chapters that will only drop there and seemingly two remaining ones that will drop in all of them. I believe I did this soon after Homestead was released and Xivkyn motifs became hard to find because of the panic over master writs. The market at the time also supported what I found as the ones that show up only in the more desirable vaults were more common than the others.

    Here's what I recorded out of opening up 25 or so vaults (for the achievement):
    Ones with an asterik next to them I found more than one from that vault.

    Planar:
    Chest*
    Helmets

    Legionary:
    Legs
    Shields

    Monstrous Tooth:
    Axes
    Daggers
    Swords*

    Clawed:
    Bows
    Staves*

    Ethereal:
    Gloves*
    Shoulders

    Bone Shard:
    Belts*
    Boots*

    Yes, I have treasure hunter and I am also getting 1 motif from every chest. But I am trying to map which vault drop which motifs.

    Thank you! I added my maces to the Clawed vault. I think this list now covers all items? Clawed and Monstrous Tooth vaults drop 3 motis while the rest seem to drop 2.

    Already did, as stated earlier :smiley: I was mapping the location of the motifs. They can now be seen 2 comments above.
