Yep, ZOS did make a "change" per the patch notes ... time to give it a try again ladies and gentlemen.

Fixed an issue that caused chapters of the Bouyant Armiger motif to appear less often than intended. These chapters are still quite rare, even for those who have served Morrowind faithfully.

That is the almost the exact same phrase ZOS used when they 'Hotfixed' cypher drop rates a month after they were released from 0% to 0.0000001%
Forgive me if I don't get too excited.

I ran few circles around whole Wardenfell, maybe about hundred chests, without any new motif page. I think ZOS wrote fake patch notes to avoid actually fixing anything.

I am about done with the motif hunting. It doesn't help with Master Writs much, and the drop rate is too unrewarding from the dailies and chests.

LadyDestiny

It will show up in crown store.....lol

I agree. The drop rate is still almost zero. To hell with your motifs ZOS, I am done collecting any of them now.

Faulgor

Found 4 pages before the patch. 0 after.

Feels worse than before, not sure what they changed.

Thrasher91604

Well they did seem to change the drop rate for the Vardenfell dailies. Or maybe it's weekday lower activity, but getting more drops todsy and yesterday.

Katahdin

Nothing has changed as far as Im concerned. Opened at least 20 advanced and master chests since the update and still no motifs

Banana

None here. Looks like a long term project

Reorx_Holybeard

I've managed to find 3 of the motifs so far and while I've only been keeping track for some chest hunting runs my guess is that it is around a 1% chance per chest (depends how lucky or not I've been). Based on what some people have said this thread it may well be under 1%.

Marabornwingrion

I've opened dozens of chests since Morrowind launch with treasure hunter passive and I have most of Morrowind achievements, many of these chests were locked with advanced and master locks. This is what I got:

Before drop rate update: 0 pages
After drop rate update: 0 pages

Seriously ZOS, I understand that some items need to be rare to keep people playing and trying to get them, but this is just ridiculous, especially that motifs are USELESS cause most of people wears dropped sets.

I'm giving up on farming these motifs, until drop rate will be seriously increased ( not like from 0,01% to 0,02%)

saxgooner

The only way is to get a full gold book. That would be worth serious dollar

Synfaer

So what was the reasoning behind this abysmal drop rate ZOS????

What ever it was, it failed

IT JUST PISSES PEOPLE OFF!

Katahdin

Beginning to think these are a myth.
Seriously, I think unicorns are more common

helediron

One update turned me from crafting completionist to f***, i don't care. It is astonishing how crafter unfriendly Morrowind is. I haven't been in Wardenfell for a week and i'm pretty much done with it. I might buy the buoyant pages when they crash to below 20k gold or never.

saxgooner

Just got my third this morning after 2 chests but nothing the previous 3 days.

LadyDestiny

Soon to be for sale in crown store........

Thrasher91604

No more over a four day weekend, even though I spent most of my time in vardenfell... Yeah it's very bad.

Katahdin

I have opened at least 20 chests almost every day and a lot of those were advanced and master chests.

Not

One

Motif

Not

One

This is such BS its not even funny

I have a job I have to go to 5 days a week for 8 hours plus 2 for commuting. I can not sit here every day for 20 hours opening chests like some people do. So how are people that cant play 24/7 supposed to get these BESIDES the damn crown store!?

A total waste of time trying to farm these motifs. If you just farmed regular mats in the same time you farm the motifs, you can make same amount or more money by the time you find one motif.

LadyDestiny

I have been farming mats all day along with chests. Found several masters too. The drop rate is ubsurd. Why they would base these as only chest drops is beyond me. The armor is ugly at it's best anyway. The few I have seen on GT by the lucky few who found them, are pricing them at 500k up to a million for one page. Is this suppose to be working as intended? I guess so they can add it in crown store at 4 day limited time for 7000 crowns. They know how poor their rng system is with everything. They keep saying "We are looking into it." Why keep doing it to every new thing added to the game. Oh wait....cause they don't know how go fix it........Really, really, really tiiiiirrrrred oooooof fffaaarrrmmmiiinnngggggg.

@ZOS_JessicaFolsom

Please look into this.
The drop rate is still abysmal.

Sordidfairytale

2 dropped last night out of the same chest to different people in a normal HoF run. It was cause for a minor celebration.

Maybe, they are supposed to be rare which means not everyone is supposed to get them.....

Why should they be this rare? The only reason for them to be this rare is so that they can sell the motif in the Crown Store for a limited time. But, I'd rather see that than have it end up being a clown crate exclusive like the last three.

Thrasher91604

Because Artis a few up for sale and he doesn't want to be undercut?

Why shouldn't be they rare? Or if not them, some other motif? Why shouldn't the game have something rare that lets players have long-term projects and delayed gratification? There are already plenty of common motifs, even most of the new motifs added with Morrowind are pretty easy to find. So what's the problem? You want to have absolutely everything easily? That's kinda your problem.... Or you want everything in game to be common and not have "wow that's a nice look, haven't seen this motif used that much" moments?

Thrasher91604 wrote: »

No, I don't sell them. Other people do, though, what's wrong with that? Some people sell other stuff and make money and then give it to people who found these motifs, essentially exchanging what they farmed for motifs via gold. Which is... the whole point of currencies. I ... Can you explain where you found the problem?

Thrasher91604

I am doubtful.

saxgooner

On xb1 eu, 5 days now without a drop for 4 hours a day solid
