On day 3 of farming for these purple recipes and so far I only found one reliable spot to farm them. Iv been farming them in Dreloth tomb, but haven't found any other spots with lots of urns. Anyone know of any other good spots?

    Forgotten Wastes is great, lots of urns in the tomb section.

    its not bad however dealing with all the mobs makes the grind drag out even more than going to an empty tomb.

    Couple other tombs with about same amount of urns, not marked on the map. Iirc one is behind the lava lake near Ald'ruhn. It's part of a quest after which all ghosts in it become friendly.

    Droprates suck big time though. You will ever so rarely find purples but 19/20 will be old furnishing plans :/

    This so much. Once upon a time (before Morrowind) it was so that the styles that dropped mostly adhered to the zone they were found in. This is obviously not true for Vvardenfell, most of the stuff I find there is from the "old" styles. This is either a bug or has been done deliberately. I've pretty much given up farming the new styles, the chances of getting them are so low it isn't worth my time.

    I'm visiting Dreloth Tomb few times per day on my main character and I got from there so far 2 purple furniture recipes (Indoril carpet and Telvanni blue lamps) and plenty of green/blue (some of them were base games ones). Got also 7 decorative urns and purple provisioning recipes.

    Unfortunately i haven't found any other locations with the same amount or more urns than in Dreloth Tomb :( You need to keep visiting this tomb everyday and pray to RNGsus cause drop rates are veeery low. Good luck :)

    They can also drop from mobs so Public Dungeons with lots of mobs are another source.

    Most on PS4 keep it hush hush on where to get the new ones.

    I'll spill the beans, because market cornering/extortion is stupid.

    Backpacks. I've got two Purple Telvani diagrams from Backpacks in Vvardenfell. They were in different locations and the drop rate is crazy low.

    How low are we talking here compared to farming them with urns?

    I'm betting on deliberately actually. You know how you can just buy a Telvanni bed in crown store for 500(!!!) Crowns instead of all that grinding?..

    lol yeah im not rich so im definetly not buying that. I don't know why they didn't just list the whole recipe in the crown store. prices are not reasonable for those.

    The most obvious answer is someone must still be buying them at those prices. Sadly.

    It's so hard to tell. I have done a fair amount of urn searching with maybe one or two green Hlaalu or Redoran diagrams. I got a few blues but all old styles.

    2 Purple Telvanni diagrams since the Morrowind release. Both from backpacks. Saying chances are low, they are minuscule. :)

    im also looking for telvanni recipes, however I haven't found any. In addition, guild stores rarely carry them and the very rare ones selling them for very expensive prices.

    I agree the drop rate for the new recipes are ridiculously low. I have quested the whole zone looting everything and have also farmed various places and I have only got a handful of new recipes. Mainly repeat greens. 95% of the time old greens. One blue that I stole and not a single purple. IMO the zone should only drop the new ones and not the base game ones or they need to at least raise the drop rate. It does seem like they are wanting to get you to use the crown store. We really don't need such terrible rng for housing! It's suppose to be fun. Same with master writs are they broken? There are so many people not getting master writs. Master crafters I am talking about. I haven't gotten anything higher then 6 in weeks. Also why raise purple recipes to 25 vouchers? That's a little extreme. I sure hope they change/fix things because the way they are now its really making me lose the love for housing.
