All the Skooma Bubbler recipe threads I found are old. So to avoid necromancy, because that's evil and stuff, I'm asking anew...do these still drop? Did anyone ever solve the perplexing "Addicts" riddle, do they exist? Are people still actually getting the recipe drops at all anymore? I guess they removed them from the palace because people were farming them, but how do we folks who just want the recipe for our crafting toon find it ("buy it from another player" is not an option for me)?

    I pickpocketed a drunk in Wayrest and got the recipe. Have since been pickpocketing the celebrants (drunks) in Skywatch and have grabbed four of the bubblers but no recipe.
    and then the parrot said, "must be the water mines green too."

    I can't seem to get a recipe from pickpocketing. I'm a kajit vampire with all the skills and steal every night. I can't figure it out. My overall RNG in the game seems fine, but it's still odd that I can't land anything this way.

    @Colecovision are you pickpocketing 3 times on the same person? Or pick, pick, murder? The rare stuff usually only drops on the final item before the Npc is empty

    That theory does get floated around quite a bit but I don't think it is true. I know for me personally it isn't true. The last bubbler recipe I got was on the very first pick (first NPC first attempt) with a new character. I've kept track of all the wanted posters I get and the distribution is fairly evenly split. I got two Telivani motifs last night one on the first pick and one on the 2nd pick. I've been getting furniture again scattered through all three picks.

    It is best to hit each NPC three times so that you get three chances but in my experience third pick/stab isn't any more likely to give a good item than the first pick.

    Some should make an drop logger like the one for crown crates.
    The suspision that casting fortify luck 100 and open the door to dungeon would increase drop chance lasted for years in Oblivion. It could be disprove pretty easy with mods. In ESO we have to use statistic.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    Or maybe it's just a rare recipe that some of us don't have and want because gotta catch 'em all. The difference between this one and others is that you can freaking FIND where to get the others. When things are difficult to locate, completionists tend to ask about them.

    People like the finding of things.
    They can look at it and go "yeah, that's cool. I'm happy"

    Because you can't really call yourself a Skooma addict without having your own personal Bubbler. Some times sharing isn't caring... ;)

    Im doing everything, but mostly picking til they are empty and then killing them out of frustration. This includes all the weyrest nobles and the guy thats supposed to drop the throne plan in elden root.

    Like I said, my overall luck is fine and the furniture is similar to the cost of mats, I just want one big drop and I'll move on.

    Its something that creates a different feel, it does have rare cool points appeal and keep in mind, we're doing multiple houses. Can't have the same stuff everywhere.

    Bubblers are pretty cheap, though. I saw plenty of them at guild traders for less than 10k each.
    Getting the recipe is only worth it if youre a hardcore completionist... The drop rates of purple recipes is awful. :(

    They drop from Drunkards albeit extrem rarely (compared to the old Servant route in Hew's Bane). I friend of mine got one, I've never seen one. I would assume that the blueprint has the same chance as purple blueprints from Vvardenfell (i.e. non existant)

    it seems completely random, you just have to find NPCs labbeled as "drunkards" or "addicts" and pickpocket or murder them

    I do xD No addicts actually exist; there is a list of all NPCs - it's not there - you get Drunkards and Celebrants. :)

    I meant only by the image - it had 0 details of anything relevant - but it was a nice gesture. <3

    probably the photo was only as "proof" backing his/her statement, that he/she actually got the bubbler

    Theives guild level 7 the wedding. Do not complete quest once in the house pickpocket adds since and repeat but do not complete the quest or leave the mansion as it then takes 24 hours to reset


    Got 20 bubblers
    3 recepies took about 4 5 hours farming npc in the house but worth it. Do not worry about bounty and once you have 2hat you want go theives guild and launder them to stop from stolen item to owned item.

    When leaving the mansion fast travel to rawlka then straight to theives guild


    Congrats and good luck

    yes, this is no longer true. With Morrowing update they have made it so, that it no longer drops there (in the palace - the quest instance), but now drops from NPCs labeled as "Drunkards", "Addicts", seemingly randomly in every province onw

    I think they only fixed the drops of the skooma bubblers. But I think they still should drop the recipe, right? I have a special character for that so I could check, but I dont like the grind ;)

    I think they took both (the bubbler and the recipe) out of the palace (quest instance), so it no longer drops there.
    but from drunkards now
