I have been playing this game for the past 8 years and have had the same issue the entire time where I have a harder the most time finding purple furniture plans. I've reported the problem 3 years ago or so when skyrim Expansion 1st came out when I started noticing it. It took me One month farming almost every day for furnishing plans to find a purple. I noticed that my friends were finding them every day at least one. Here it is again Sometime later and I've been farming the Public dungeon underneath Western Skyrim. It's been almost a week and I haven't found a purple on this particular character I might find one here and there on another 1 but it's very few in it between. All I get from Technicians is that all RnG is the same this is clearly not the case. One of my friends was running with me and we kept switching out characters and he found 5 Purple Furnishing plans. He says he gives one at least A-day Doing Same thing I am. Again it's been 8 years I still have not getting this issue fixed I think my account has an issue with it. When I reported it last time I reinstalled the entire game and found a Purple right away. If I uninstall this game again I will not reinstall it. I have had so many issues with this game and not one of them has been fixed.

    Purple furnishing plans -are- rare and this is also visible on their pricing.
    Expecting 1 or more purple plan drops per day is a bit of wrong thinking.

    You are better off just grinding gold instead and buy the plans from Hlaalu or guild traders.

    RealLoveBVB Read the message Again one per day would be acceptable. I might get one per week. The whole last week I had 5 characters in a public dungeon under Western skyrim I would form it with one switch to a different character farmer with that character switch to a different 1 all day almost everyda 4 week with nothing.

    There are a few Purples that drop like dead flies at a picnic in the Summer.

    The rest are extremely rare. Like give up hoping for finding one rare. Guild Stores are the most efficient place to farm for them given you can do Gold Gathering activites to buy them in less time than it takes to find them.

    I would sell the few purps I get IF I ever got one that is a Duplicate.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    Nestor They are rare yes But most people tend to find at least one per day in the public dungeons that I've been farming I've ran with other people and they post what they find it takes me a week or months farming with other of my characters back-and-forth in here it's b******* and they refuse to fix it

    Something happened to my character after Elsweyr. I used to find purple furnishing plans with her quite often but now I can go a month before finding one, and of course if it’s in a dlc zone I get a purple base plan instead.

    I just stopped farming furnishing plans in the last few weeks. It is one thing I can do in game than doesn’t mess up my aching hands but it is a complete waste of time for me unless I need lockpicks and style mats like corundum or obsidian.

    Purple dlc plans for High Isle are typically in the 100k+ range now so maybe it is just an extremely low drop rate now compared to previous chapters.

    katanagirl1 I think it's funny when they say that all RNG is the same when it's clearly not and they have the ability to change them in any time.

    RNG in this game, including furniture plans and mats to make them, has been slowly pushing me away. I don't mind working for stuff, but RNG is so hit and miss that frustration and boredom with grinding replaces fun.

    Luckily I've recently found a building/decorating game (not an MMO) that I've been spending a lot of time in and having a ton of fun with. No RNG whatsoever and the game costs less than most of the houses ESO sells. LOL :smile:

    I think what happens is certain game conditions change things, like cooldowns. I have enough experience to have some idea what is going on, but not enough to really know how to find success in this system.

    It’s unfortunate that the game seems to want to penalize players for putting time into farming things instead of rewarding them. You could just happen to get something good in one try or spend hours each day for months and get nothing.
