Unofficial Summerset Furnishing Plan Farm Nerf Discussion

    Who told u it got nerfed ? U see that in any patch notes anywhere ? No you didnt . Did zos send u a private special email to tell you this ? No they didn't.

    It hasnt been nerfed i just pulled a 200k purp from the wardrobe room in the delve and then a 50k blue from the same room on an alt

    During the first week of early access one could enter--leave--re enter the vault on the same character to find the wardrobes fully reset. Now (after the first small patch about a weekish ago) when you do that over half of the wardrobes haven't reset. The amount of lockpicks you get from them have also been increased. The only way to get them to almost fully reset now is alternating characters.

    Better to not tell anyone so they think it's rng, rather than state the change and *** the farmers off. They did something similar with Morrowind and the CWC. Motif drop rates were pretty decent during the first day or two, then suddenly they became next to non-existent. The only reason the same hasn't happened with Summerset is because zeni made the crafting materials needed for Alinor recipes scarce and expensive instead~

    I would agree with this. I used to find 1-2 Alinor recipes a day, but now I am getting mostly lockpicks and style stones. I still get the odd green/blue food/drink recipe and blue motif, but little more than trash for 3+ days now. The best items from the past few days have been a few 1.5k blue furniture recipes I already knew, but not a single Alinor. Something definitely changed for me - such a shame... :disappointed:

    Yes, the drop rate has definitely fallen off, and I agree on the wardrobes resetting only partially now. Alternating characters is the way to go now, but unfortunately it means extra exposure to the ridiculous ads. I'm glad I held on to the plans I got rather than dumping them on the market for peanuts like so many already have. And nobody is really buying them, with the bottleneck on the Culanda lacquers. A lot of folks I talk to are actually decorating the new houses with the easier to make Redguard style furnishings.

    Alinor plans don't sell probably because the furniture is so ugly

    The prices on the plans people are selling need to come down a fair bit more before a lot of people will start buying them. Give it a month when prices get more decent and you may see things starting to sell.
    Far too many characters to list any more.

    Blue Alinor plans are going for 20k (I've bought some for less), and purples for 100k on PC. I don't really envision them getting much lower, personally. There's little demand for them, because people don't want to grind or pay through the nose for style mats, so the PC market is already glutted with unused blueprints.

    lololol the use of addons really effects the markets between console and pc. i know they are a tad newer but blue are going for 100-200k depending. and blpurple 200-500k. or more depending.

    I've gotten several from stealing from different locations, one or two blue ones from random backpacks in the wild, but I haven't gotten any in the Traitor's Vault. I go there pretty regularly, but I haven't gotten one furnishing plan from any wardrobe or urn. Has anyone gotten anything from the Traitor's Vault recently? I'm wondering if the drop rates there are lower or if I'm just having bad RNG there.

    I think it was either yesterday or the day before, when I got two blue Alinor plans from the vault. I think it was the day before yesterday, since if my memory doesn't trick me, I also got one plan in blue yesterday.
    And yes, the Direnni Acropolis has urns in great number, but I only ever went there twice and only got one Alinor plan there at all, while I get a steady flow in the vault. But, it was a purple one for a sarcophagus, thus pretty fitting, while all the vault plans are blue ones so far, with a green Alinor here and there.

    There’s over 60 wardrobes in that one room in traitors vault. I been farming it quiet a bit. Just yesterday I realized I could log out then back in to have them reset. About 80% of them are usually lootable.......but nothing in them but trash. Can almost get a blue motif every time but they’re worthless. White gear that is absolutely worthless and pointless to even be in the game.

    Log and switch characters. It resets then. Ive been using this method since the Vvardenfell tombs came out.

    Also, In case anyone hasnt noticed..The Monastery in Shimmerene is no longer accessible once you turn in the quest. The top floor is, But the Undercroft where all the urns are is locked.

    Direnni Acropolis in Summerset is urn city. Dozens upon dozens of urns all throughout.
    But you have to be on a quest or something, because I couldn't open the door to go in...?

    If I'm incorrect, can anyone post a screenshot?

    I don't think traitor's vault is all that great. I've found more plans just plain old looting.
    Had a delve daily there today so I did the wardrobe room. One white old plan and 42 lock picks.

    I have destroyed literally thousands upon thousands of lockpicks from those wardrobes. Apparently the Ritemaster isn't the only one who forgets where he misplaced his keys!

    First time I saw Traitors Vault was about 3 days after release. The first thing i thought was that it had to be a mistake. Not gonna lie, my exploit radar was going off the first few times I ran through there. Sooooo many wardrobes.

    Don't forget to pick the pots on shelves. It's not always easy, but you can usually find something to stand on to loot them. Look high and low for those things ! :)

    I ran through it last night (console) and pulled 5 blue alinor, one purple alinor, several purple base game, lots of blue food recipes, and a blue sketch in about 2 hours of grinding. (Rotated between 7 characters, in sequence, to make sure the wardrobes fully reset by the time I got back around to the first one.)

    I found a few green and a couple of blue Alinor plans in the wardrobe room in that delve, so thank you for sharing! Amongst the mobs that spawn in the room there's a skeletal bear that stands on its hind legs, and scratches its back against a tall pile of books :lol:

    All I ever seem to find from the Summerset wardrobes and urns are ash, lockpicks, basic style stones, and the occasional green recipe that I already have. As in Morrowind, my RNG is terrible.

    For those who are farming the wardrobes and want to do it as efficiently as possible, I've found that quickslotting the memento "Amalexia's enchanted lantern" really lights up the corridor and allows you to easily see which wardrobes are open/empty as you approach them. This saves half a second or so, maybe a couple seconds on the ones tucked behind book stacks that you might otherwise try to target before you realize they're empty.

    This also allows you to see those fallen 2" diameter candle holders that your elite, Sload-slaughtering warrior can't physically step over, and makes it easier to avoid them.

    The Illumination Academy has a large amount of nightstands, wardrobes and urns inside, pretty much all over the place. And best of all, they are unowned, so you can loot them freely, and the area is accessible even after the quest has been done.

    They are owned before you start Quest - just fyi.

    They are owned after as well. I went through everything in the Illumation Academy. Literally nothing was worth taking, let alone the new blueprints.
