    Whilst this looks great on paper, I'll hold judgement until it's put into practice. Like other items in game, they're technically in the loot pool (no pun intended btw) but you could farm for the next 5 years and never see a single one of those items.

    First, there was bait.

    Then, there was gummy sacks.

    Following this was house decorations.

    Now I have to contend with motifs.

    Here's an idea: how about making fishing about actual fish!

    Well, you have a choice of home items, gummy sacks, and bait to cover this.

    Now new and improved with motifs!

    I'm genuinely surprised and impressed with ZoS reaction to this. Kudos guys. Very fitting way of obtaining it and excellent way of making fishing a worthwhile endeavour.

    I'm happy :)

    Yeah, welcome to the ESO forums. I never seen such a talent for complaining about ludicrous things as there is here, it's too bad there isn't a competition for it.

    I'm very much considering pre-ordering now. Was going to, then crown crate exclusive motif was confirmed. Now this change might turn me around again.

    Hi everyone,

    We appreciate everyone’s continued feedback and thoughts on this topic, and understand the concerns you have. As such, we will add the ability to obtain the Pyandonean Motif Chapters through fishing, as well as in the Psijic Vault Crown Crate. As the Maormer are also known as the Sea Elves, it’s fitting that you’ll find these Motif Chapters while fishing in and around Summerset Isle. The plan is to implement this change in the next week or two on the PTS, so it will be in-game when Update 18 launches and the Pisjic Vault Crown Crates become available to those who pre-purchased the Summerset Chapter.

    Thanks again for taking the time to let us know your thoughts, everyone, and we’re excited to have you try out the in-game component on the PTS very soon.

    Thanks for giving fishers some content zos, now any chance we can also get a purple fish? wink wink @ZOS_GinaBruno

    Edit: as noted before, paper would get soggy in water so what about making the motif pages messages inside a bottle?

    I'll send an SOS to the world... Motif in a bottle... :)

    I don't mean to come off complaining, but when the water is strewn with even more junk, this reduces the chances of getting the actual fish for the achievement.

    Well Fishing just got a whole lot..well, I wont say more interesting cause c'mon. But know there will be somewhat of a point to it. Gives me some impetus to go for master angler.

    They actually listened...that's...amazeballs

    Fair enough haha. I'm just really amazed at what some choose to grumble about. I would never have imagined that someone would actually complain about possibly getting a rare crown-crate motif, but hey... what do I know.

    Regardless of drop rate - this should make getting Summerset master angler quicker as the holes won't be ghost towns! Note that this is only in Summerset though - doesn't give any additional incentive for the overall master angler achievement.

    At first, yes, there will be many people fishing. Later ? It all depends on the drop rates, and whether motif pages will be tradeable or not...

    I don't fish. I applaud ZoS for this decision and think it's nice that people who do fish can offer the market more than Perfect Roe. I know I made thousands of gold from them buying Worms and stuff.

    Oh, no, you're absolutely right to voice your say in the matter.

    I could have done a far better job than with my post, that's for sure.

    Just got caught up with the notion my pool chances just decreased even more.

    That's sort of the other side of the coin here. People think they're just going to drop a pole and walk away with motifs.

    They're going to be disappointed.

    I’ve been after the master angle achieve for a while, it’ll be nice to have some incentive. I would like to know if it’s acrually Summerset only? I didn’t see any mention of zone exclusivity and given they were going to be in crates (hardly zone or chapter specific) I’d expect them to be anywhere.

    Edit: nevermind I spontaneously learned to read

    After getting Master Angler a few months ago, fishing just doesn’t sound appealing.

    A step in the right direction, but I remain cautious. What will the drop rates be like? Not to mention the competition for fishing nodes and the slow rate at which they respawn.

    The proof is in the pudding.

    The fact that people will be able to get them out side of crates is a huge win. I figure they will have a drop rate about the same as perfect roe, which I am fine with. It will give those who fish more stuff to sell.

    Oh I'm not denying that. It's good to see they listened to everyone's feedback. If they drop at the same rate as roe, then that's fine. But if they're on the same level of rarity as Buoyant Armchair Armiger/Vvardenfell/CWC Homestead recipes etc?........Yeeaaaaah....... No.
