    @ZOS_GinaBruno I and many players have already completed the quest and cannot go back to farm and need to roll new characters. This is a problem if you already have maxed character slots and this design punished completionists. Can you consider allowing players to revisit the palace?

    Gating something like that behind a one-time-only quest zone is kinda sh*tty towards people who have already done it ...

    In general, too many zones and areas are off-limits after you have done a quest, it's a waste of design and space.

    The easy solution here would be to open up the Palace to people who have already done the quest, make it a zone you can return to after the event. That way people can farm the skooma bubbler as well, and also enjoy the look of the palace.

    Locking off places after questing is a waste of resources.

    Yeah for this reason alone the recipe may still be worth a good penny for a while

    LOL why would you guys call ZOS's attention to this thread. They simply LOVE to stomp out fun things like this. For the pure sake of "Hey looks like people want something, lets make that thing even harder to get!"

    I am going to laugh if the drop rates plummet after this maintenance. I'm almost expecting it.

    Sad but true. I got only 5 bubblers so far. The only reason why I levelled up TG on alt and I was farming it, is because I want the recipe :( I hope they won't nerf drop rates only to push people to buying bubblers from crown store. That would be really mean. :angry:

    These are thoughts you typically keep to yourself, lest you ruin it for everyone else. ZoS does not need any more ideas like this.

    the only character i hadnt done the quest on was my stamplar because the quest glkitched out on her months ago, so this morning i picked the quest bk up & went on in to the palace -

    35 bubblers, 250K bounty, 140 blue items sold to pirahy (to clear inventry space), 200 inventry space filled with blue & green stolen loot hundreds of white stacks deleted, i was about to call it a day when i got the recipy...

    at least i will be able to put the gold edict to good use when i do the next quest! LOL

    Accidentally left the palace, servents pockets are empty now. Is there anyway to reset it or how long do I have to wait before they reset?

    10K for the recipie??? Somehow I doubt this. Maybe for the item, but not the recipe.

    I'm curious... Are they still empty, after you killed them - when they respawn? :open_mouth:

    LOL yup! But to be honest the drop rates are not that great as it stands. It's just that you can pickpocket a lot in succession. I agree with the other posters that it is a bit weird to have the design only drop inside an inaccessible quest area.

    Abandon the quest, then restart it, seems to be the only way.

    I'm currently in the palace trying for this design - been here for about 4 hours, 3 bubblers but no design - boo to rng. I'm way past my boredom threshhold and think I may leave, delete the quest and try again another day. Trouble is with 41k of bounty if I leave the palace the guard outside will kill me almost as soon as I go through the door. No idea how long so much bounty will take to disappear, I'm guessing a couple of days minimum, or I need to find a wayshrine near an outlaws refuge with no guards nearby. Any ideas?

    When i encounter "servants empty" bug that prevents me from obtaining kitchen key even dropping quest didnt help me. I had to wait 12 hours or so (went to sleep) for instance to reset.

    Tho I noticed interesting thing, when this glitch happen, the two patroling servants are empty (no kitchen key) but if you stay closely to the kitchen door you can see a third servant spawning out of it, doing small circle and immediately disappearing.

    As if there was a little separate instance around the kitchen door and each new servant that spawns is pouring into that tiny invisible realm while the old empty servants are stuck with you.e

    Neverthless, if you position correctly and have fast fingers (literally lol) you can pickpocket a key from that 3rd servant before he disappears.

    Did you check your inventory? I had this happen, but the key was in my inv. I had to steal the wine to get back in.

    Aha...now I know why I finally saw a couple of Bubbler recipes at a guild trader this weekend (on XB). Hadn't seen any before this weekend - one was 330K and the other was 500K. And no, I didn't buy one - way too expensive.

    Fortunately, I've only done the quest with my main (who is NOT a Nightblade), so I have other characters I can do the quest with - though I'd have to do some work to get Legerdemain up and then TG line. Don't really want the Bubbler that much to worry about it right now. If the price gets low enough, I may just buy one.

    Luckily there will be plenty bubblers going around to the point where you don't even need the recipe anymore, other than for the sake of having it learned B)

    That has never worked for me on the three occasions i tried it (Xbox), the only thing i can do to get around the empty pockets issue is to sit the quest out for a dozen or so hours.

    Has anyone successfully done this since Monday's patch? I want the recipe just once for my crafter for reasons of completion, but had to get a character up the TG questline so I could look for the thing - I've been in here for nearly 5 hours and have tons of the bubblers, but no plan yet. Just wondering whether they quietly removed it in the patch or whether I just have terrible RNG luck...

    Just fast travel to Abah's wayshrine and run to the den on the outside entrance. No guards close by. Only at the front gate. You can do the same at the gold coast. Wayshrine is a few paces from the thieves den outside the wall.

    The price for the recipe is crazy high on PC NA, someone was hawking one for over 400K. LOL

    IMO it's just not worth that much. Give it 2 weeks and the item will be all over the guild traders and the recipe price will be cheap as dirt too. If you pay 300K to 500K today you will not be able to recoup your gold by the time the market is flooded with these items.

    Of course for the people that have to have it RIGHT NOW, go for it. :smile:

    The design must drop some place else too. I can't believe everyone gets the design only from this place/quest.
