The change to Paintings to make them Zone-Specific was GREAT. How about Furnishing Plans too?

It's so depressing to open a container in Solitude and see a Purple Furnishing Plan, only for it to be a Breton Desk.

If I can't find Morrowind or Elsweyr plans in Solitude, why can I find ones from the High Elves or Redquards? All those regions are very far away. You also don't find Treasures from anywhere besides Solitude when doing thieve-y business, which only adds to the confusion.

I agree. I've gotten a total of 3 solitude furnishing plans since launch - and 2 of those were the same plan. Everything else seems to be High Elf plans for me - and don't get me wrong if it's something I don't have I appreciate it but I want the Solitude plans especially the food and dishes. I can't afford the prices on the guild stores that Solitude plans are going for and housing should be fun...yet it seems to be more and more unattainable as time goes on.

Agreed, 100%.

I also agree with this.

Solitude plans are insanely annoying to try farm!

Inaya

Agreed!

It just happened again. Found a Purple Orcish Plan in the Antiquarian Circle in Solitude.

*Sad Nord noises*

volkeswagon

agreed. Doing so might increase the value of the base prints as they would become rarer

I have been playing around in Murkmire, and I'm getting really irritated at the lack of actual Murkmire plans...in Murkmire...y'know.

Yes. This needs to happen

For Murkmire, parking a few chars in the crafting area and check all containers then relog is fairly efficient. It's still annoying as hell when you get a non Murkmire plan there, but at least that farm is better than anything in W Skyrim.

And I agree with OP, I hate pulling a random argonian whatever when I'm in the middle of Skyrim and want a Solitude plan.

I think I would prefer something more like 60% of the furnishing recipes are zone-specific and 40% are base game furnishing recipes. Right now, the ratio feels more like 15%/85% which is way too punishing. I do, however, think we should still have base game recipes available in the new zones, both for variety, mostly for new players, and because who really wants to spend a ton of time in the base game questing and collecting recipes when the quality of the DLC and Chapter areas is so much higher.

That said, I also think the Chapter furnishing recipes should be made available (at a much smaller ratio) in related areas in the base game. For example, Vvardenfell furnishing recipes could occasionally be found in Morrowind zones like Stonefalls and Deshawn, Summerset recipes in Auridon, Murkmire recipes in Shadowfen, Elsweyr recipes in Reaper's March, and Greymoor recipes in Eastmarch and The Rift.

Quick question: do any of either of the DLC or the Chapter furnishings drop outside of their zone?

I can't recall if I've ever noted that.
