Ayleid Book Shelves

I'd love to be able to make Ayleid Book Shelves. You can't buy the pattern anywhere. I've searched everywhere in the guild traders. I went to Tamriel Trade Centre and
all they've got is a notice that someone else is looking to buy the pattern also. I've resorted to grinding every Ayleid ruin. I haven't even had a drop of the blue patterns.

Dear ZOS, can't you put some of these patterns in a luxury vendor or have a quest to get some patterns or otherwise have a more reliable way to get the patterns? I'm starting to feel like having completed all of the quests in the delves has put me at some disadvantage. Often, when I go into some of the delves that I have already completed, every container and urn is empty for me. I even redid my champ points to take Treasure Hunter and that doesn't seem to help much. After 2 days of grinding the ruins, with two different toons, I've gotten a few green patterns and one blue for a small fish, but otherwise just the usual junk. If you are determined that patterns only should be RNG, then you need to increase the drops. I can't find the bookcase in any guild shop for ANY price. I expected to at least find one at some crazy price I can't afford, but I didn't even find ONE Ayleid bookcase pattern. That is too rare.

I really enjoy building the furniture and decorating the houses. I have a great idea for something I want to do, but it requires that I can get the patterns. I like what you did with the clothing items and being able to change the traits. That made the grind bearable. I have to have a feeling that these grinds will eventually give me the results I want.

    Drop rates on many things need to be looked at. Rare is ok, but some of these items are impossible to get, others are too common. Loot tables need to be rebalanced.

    The drop-rate of many furnishing plans including those in Vvardenfell and CwC in addition to the Ayleid ones are so abysmal that they might as well be non-existent. It's a ploy to drive you to the crown store to buy specialized furnishings. I for one think its disgusting that they release Morrowind and Clockwork themed houses and then put the furnishing plans behind microscopic drop-rates just to boost crown-store revenue.

    I agree, the way furnishing plans drop need to be looked into. The amount of daedric platforms and other daedric
    items drop, is rediculous.

    Every time i have to scroll past a freaking daedric bench, ashen, in a guild trader or get one in a drop I scream a little bit. I hate those things so much,.

    I'm fairly certain it's rare. That's a good drop.

    This. It's completely stupid that one type of plan drop literally floods the market and quickly becomes completely worthless while others remain so scarce as to be nearly nonexistent. ZOS please STOP making it so hard to decorate in the style of our choice!!!!

    I love Ayleid style furnishings (and really want some for Linchal Grand Manor where the stone color is largely the same) and have looked for patterns and items as well. Pages and pages of daedric this and that, which I don't want in any of my ESO homes, abound, sadly.

    My best suggestion is get some friend and go to town killing ads. @GoodFella146 is a GM for a guild I’m in and he offered a fair amount of gold for whoever found the item. We had a group of 24 in a public dungeon and I think after like 3 hours of farming someone finally got it. 24 people! Only one drop.

    The reason we see so many daedric furnishing plans isn't because of their drop rate, its because they drop from dolmen. Lots of players grind dolmen for many hours to level up, so they end up getting a lot of daedric plans.

    It's not even that though, i get them all the time from mobs in daedric themed dungeons. The drop rate is just way higher then every other furnishing style in the game and it's weird and inconsistent. I haven't done dolmens in months and get them all the time.

    I know this isn't true because there are people selling the individual piled bookcases in guild traders and yet the pattern isn't anywhere to be found. Blueprints for the Ayleid Table and Bench are rare, but available in guild traders. Reddit says that people are getting these drops off humanoid mobs in Ayleid ruins. But, it almost makes me wonder if ZOS broke the droprate during some maintenance or something. All of the posts about where to find the blueprints are several months old. None are more recent than September. @ZOS_GinaBruno, Any insight here would be appreciated.

    The pattern should drop a lot more often, perhaps 5% more, i agree purple patterns should be rare, not all are. Some you can give away while others are still almost non existent.

    I have NEVER seen a single Ayleid pattern or furnishing in a guild trader on PS4 EU.
    And I have been looking at the traders a lot.

    Millions of Daedric benches tho, even tho those are blue as opposed to the green Ayleid benches...

    What style material does it use?

    I literally had to create a guild event where I offered a million gold to anyone who could get it. We had about 40 different ppl come and go through the 4-5 hours we did it, and at the end of the night we had found the bookcase I needed, along with the brazier, and about 6 blue blueprints.

    ^^^ OLD Daedric Plans

    Having spent a full week farming these in the village of the lost with a team, i can assure you that this is incorrect. This is incorrect. There are certain daedric plans that drop all the time (daedric bench, ashen; daedric platfor; so on) and there are those that do not (Daedric brazier, coldharbour; daedric fence, section). All of these plans can drop form the same source. Yes those daedric patterns are more common because of where they drop, but that doesn't mean all daedric patterns are common. The common ones are the old plans, and the new plans are just as rare as Ayleid, dwarven and so on.

    Ayleid plans:

    - There are 6 plans total (3 blue, 3 Purple)
    - they drop from humanoids in ayleid ruins only
    - Bonesnap and the public dungeon in green shade are good to run

    it took us about a week to farm out all 6 plans. The blues are pretty common. Unlike morrowind, if you do pull a blue or purple blueprint you have a very good chance of getting an ayleid plan. the common prints for the most part, are not in the loot table. (we did find a couple blues that were old plans, but no purples so i can't confirm if you only get ayleid purples or not, but we only got ayleid purple plans)

    I spent a large amount of gold to get it from a player these things are super rare. One of the most expensive blueprints imo

    I disagree on the rarity, as this plan is definitely farmable with an investment of time. Technically you have a 33% chance of getting the right purple plan, as opposed to say a morrowind plan where you have a .7% (1/136) chance of getting a specific morrowind plan ....that is if you get a morrwoind plan at all instead of an old plan. Yes you do get the other plans easier, but you could farm thousands before you get the one you want.

    When did you farm these? Was it recently? I'm wondering if they are more rare after a patch or something. Like I said, you can't even buy them in a guild trader. Even the blue ones are harder to find. None of the purple are available in a guild trader.

    we did before clockwork, (xbox NA), but we have been back in bonesnap since and have gotten blues. Basically we grind characters in there, as the xp is decent and the plans are a bonus. As far as none in the traders, thats easy, not a lot of players running around in ayeleid ruins. People that want them have it, and the people that don't, haven't farmed them yet. If someone is farming them, you will know as there will be about 20 or so blues pulled before you get the purples you need. To be clear we didn't just pull one set of all the plans, we pulled 3 in total, and usually with less than 4 people in a group.

    want to know why it is hard to find?, these place been looted so many times, just look harder.

    devs, what is wrong? it is suppose to be a game and fun, those recipes are not "Over-powerful" or game breaking, do we need recipes to beat the dungeon bosses? change those drop rates!

    Was just talking to a friend tonight who bought the purple furnishing plan for the ayleid bookshelves from a trader just the other day on Xbox NA. She paid 1.5 mil and felt like she got a bargain.


    These drop rates for furnishing plans are not ok.

    Anyone know if the Ayleid blueprints could potentially drop in one of the two Ayleid delves in Cyrodiil?

    Additionally, I have been trying to farm bonesnap for the past week. I’ve put about 10-12 hours in so far and haven’t had one Ayleid furnishing drop. :-/

    @Apache_Kid
    It certainly was a good drop... I sat on it for a few days undecided whether to learn or to sell it, I decided to list it for 1 time only at a price of 350k.. If it sold at that price then it was all well and good, if it did not sell then my furniture crafter would be happy.. It sold within 3 hours of listing..
