Too many unopened but empty containers

This is becoming very annoying. I'm primarily looking for provisioning materials for blue recipes like red wheat and onions in veteran areas as well as on lookout for recipes and books. So why when a contain that is usable, ie tool tip is not saying empty , is there nothing inside. It is wasting my time and getting increasingly frustrating.

Xithian✭✭✭I have been noticing this a lot as well. I use autoloot with an addon to display loot so I've never really checked to see if I'm looting anything from those. I suppose it could be akin to the alchemy plants that aren't really there.0 -

I tend to rummage through crates and cupboards too. I use the auto-loot function because it's faster. I always had to stop and look at my inventory every so often to see what I had picked up but my new friend Xithian has solved that issue.
Auto loot will make it less of a chore to scavenge for provisioning mats.

Xithian✭✭✭Khajiit is not very good at "making friends" with Daggerfall... This one supposes that if he bumps into you he will try not to stab you immediately, but makes no promises. At least you aren't Aldmeri...
Also, yes, it comes in terrible handy. I don't know why the loot icons thing wasn't included as an option for autoloot in the first place. I'm not too fond of the chat window setting though, as I like to keep my chat windows organized and it just causes more scrolling.0 -
Melian✭✭✭✭Yes, I'm really getting annoyed with this. At the very least they could be marked as empty to begin with, so I don't waste time opening them... but I used to really enjoy running around opening every dresser and cabinet I saw, hoping for a motif and at the very least gathering crafting mats, so I wish they'd be put back the way they were. I didn't farm - or not much - because it was boring, but I miss the thrill of anticipation I used to get when I saw a room full of cabinets!

LOL! And yes it is one of those things that I didn't know I needed until I started to craft.

Rotherhans✭✭✭I believe it´s yet another ZMax bug.
Diminishing returns are supposed to diminish the RETURNS.
ATM you get empty containers even when logging in first time the whole day etc.

This is the problem.
They try and combat the problem by screwing everyone else over.
And the bot problem is still here. So everything they try to do just annoys us while the bots and farmers just find a new way to deal with it.
The mat farming seems to be getting worse so it's only a matter of time they nerf ore/wood/cloth/plant harvesting.0 -
Taven✭✭✭There was apparently a stealth nerf to the loot drops in them to where it resets every 2 hours. It sucks

Its an mmo farming is part of the game.
The direction they are headed will have us only being able to harvest 5 gathering nodes in the open world an hour..

Like that will ever happen
