Just found Crafting Motif 10: Imperial Style

Ageless

... I have the Standard Edition, not the Imperial Edition of the game, so this motif escaped me all this time. Does that mean that Summerset Isles opens up that bit, that we don't need the IE version anymore? It doesn't say a thing about it in the patch notes.

You could always find this motif as a rare drop. You still need the imperial upgrade to play as an imperial character.

Sell it, they are extremely rare ...

I originally purchased the Imperial edition of the game and I STILL haven't found that motif...good find! You would definitely get a huge chunk of change selling that. As for Summerset replacing the Imperial Edition in that sense, i'm not entirely sure. The IE gave you the ability to convert armor to the Imperial style, play as an Imperial and the white horse. From what I know, there's currently no other way to obtain those things unless you buy the Imperial edition upgrade. Like kringled_1 said above, the motif was always discoverable in the overworld as a 'rare drop'.

Sell, hmmmmm, should've thought about that. But I read it instead, so perhaps I can sell armor crafted Imperial style to my guild. Thanks for the answers, though.

By the way, I asked about Summerset replacing it because as far as I can find, the Imperial Edition is no longer for sale in the ESO store.

I just found this motif, for the first time, after 2.5 years.

Day. One console player ... Still not found it ...

Only ever received one gold drop from a reward and that was playing for 36 hours straight to get emp then playing everyday to stay in the top 10 getting on everage 2 hours sleep balancing work and home obligations


It was a crap gold cryrodls light ring

I have concluded the rewards in this game are just not worth the effort and RNG is so bad I'm super excited about a decent purple drop more.

My wife and I have been playing for 3 or so years. She's found 1 thieving. I still haven't.

Perwulf

I have the Imperial Edition Collector's Edition (Physical) and have been playing since 2014 but I still haven't found a single imperial motif. Consider yourself lucky!

firedrgn

I found that a while back. I used it tho. Did not know they were rare.

geonsocal

i'm so tempted to either buy it, or, trade for it...

however, my stubborn nature keeps telling me it's going to be in the very next backpack I open...or, the one after that, and, so on it goes...

NewBlacksmurf

maaaaan WOW
Still haven't found it once on two diff platforms lol

AlienatedGoat

I looted one once from a dungeon.

Gave it to a friend to use. I already had it.

Loralai_907

I think I have found 4 since PC launch. I used the fist one and have sold the rest. I loot everything, pretty much all the time. I cannot go by urns and dressers and those sort of things without taking what is inside of them. Sometimes, and I haven't done this in quite some time now, but I would just log in and loot a building or an area with a lot of urns or dressers on repeat for a few hours.

THEDKEXPERIENCE

I bought it launch but found one once in Orsinum. It was in the house that leads you to Maelstrom, upstairs to the right. When you get up the stairs it was in the cabinet ahead and to your right.

It’s highly likely that you won’t find it there, but hey, never know. Good luck and happy hunting.

fgoron2000

I found 2 of them the first 2 months I played, and haven't found one since, and that's been over 2 years now.

But ZOS has changed the matter of "convert armor to imperial style" - it is now in the outfit system and it takes an outfit slot to do so. You cannot convert it to a real item anymore, like it was before - or ... maybe I just could not find how to now. To me this ability was taken away from me by no good reason - I paid for it and it was taken away.

Imperial Edition unlocks the Imperial style on your account automatically.

You can still find the actual motif book in the game world though, regardless of if you own the IE or not.

Unlocking the imperial edition is now a crown store purchase. And yes the native in game version is rare. I have found and sold about 8 or nine since I started playing. And I recently sold one for 100k

Have IE been here beta I found one for the first time just a few months ago.

LadyLethalla

I found one - finally, been playing since release - in one of the containers in the Maelstrom Arena house recently. As a kind guildie had given me one a while back I kind of wasn't even excited... it was just "huh". And I gifted it to another friend who hadn't ever found or bought one.

Open a lot of chests - most of my 14 characters have it - well, 2 of them are imperial, they got it by default, but most of the others have it as well - I got them from opening a lot of chests in the world - not even by stealing, but from regular chests.

Hope you bought a lottery ticket. This is an extremely rare drop. I've found exactly one Imperial motif book over one PC account and two PS4 accounts.

JasonSilverSpring

I found one a long time ago and used it. I found a second one in an urn in that area under the monastery in one of the first Summerset story quests. Sold it for 75k on PC NA. It sold quickly so I probably priced it too cheap.

Remag_Div

I've been playing for 3 years and have yet to loot one. lol

Spurius_Lucilius

I looted one when I was a newbie, and since I was playing an Imperial knowing the style, I sold it.

Ageless

What are the odds? I just found another one.
Will launder it and put it up for sale. How much can one ask?

IsharaMeradin

I found one once... in a guild trader. Bought it for my main crafter. Would love to find one or more in the wild as I have other characters that want to learn it too.

AngryOldMan

Have played for 2 years now and found 2 imperial motifs. Had the imperial version so i sold them. Really rare drop

idk

Since April 2014 anyone could find the Imperial motif.

HeathenDeacon

i used to farm a place that apparently had a good drop rate for them. got lucky a few times without a ton of effort but once they added all the furninshing recipes i think some of these loot tables got screwed up.
