So I'm trying to get the hlaalu shoulders motif. I typically use https://us.tamrieltradecentre.com/pc/Trade however every day now I check the items and get to guild store it's gone.

I've tried going to maps and doing zone chat trying to buy with no success. Anyone have any tips to help buy this motif?

I know I know I can get it myself however I am not yet at the map which I can get it and just for story purposes I am really trying not to go there yet to ruin any surprises.

Anyone know of any good ways to find an item for sale?

    You should look for combination of price / time item was placed on ttc. There are ton of people which monitor cheap deals and you may got cheapest deals only if you grab it immediately within a hour. To avoid this just look for slightly higher price (page 3-4) - those are usually available for several hours.

    We shouldn't have to use TTC to find an item. I like the guild trader system in premise, but without a search function it's just clunky and inefficient.

    I saw various of the Hlaalu Shoulder motifs a week back on about three or four of the traders outside Vivec. Have no idea how much they were, and seriously doubt they're still there....

    It's too hard for server to process search on all traders for all the time and there will be people for sure who will spam this search and exploit it.
    I think maximum what they could do is to create app which shows something like ttc and esomap on your mobile/ipad.. oops, it's already available from ttc and esomap on any device :D not for consoles though - but you got RDR2 as a compensation
