Questions about Daedric and AE Motifs

If this has been answered somewhere already or I'm not in the right discussion area, I apologize.

Where do they drop? My current strategy is looting only: nightstands, desks, dressers, trunks, cabinets, and wardrobes , then re-logging and doing it again in a place that has these containers in a concentrated area. I saw recently that they may drop in other places as well, i.e. urns and backpacks and that the re-log trick may not work anymore. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Do they share containers with the high level purple food recipes? And if so, would a successful loot of that recipe count towards any overall loot timer that container has?

I know Daedric, A.E., and Imp. motifs are supposed to be very rare and I don't expect to find eleventy seven hundred of them so I can get game rich, I just want to make sure I'm looking in the right places in the right way.

Thanks in advance for any questions, comments, concerns, or public service announcements.

    Imperial is supposed to drop anywhere, but it's almost as rare as purple cooking recipes. Daedric and AE drop in your Caldwell's Gold (3rd Alliance, VR 5/6 to 10/12 area)... I am not sure if they drop in Craglorn.
    Of all the things I have lost, I miss my mind the most...

    Thank you for the response, now if I can get some confirmation on the individual containers they drop in and if the re-log trick still works.

    Yes, your list of furniture as well as Backpacks and Urns... The same is true for purple recipes (I found 2 today, first 2 I have ever found, one in an urn, one in a desk)

    As for the logging out and back in, empty a container next to where you are logging, if it has reset when you log back in, then the re-log thing still works... I have to admit, I do have a circuit I run that checks a number of containers, but I don't log out and in very often to try to reset the containers.

    I actually divide my looting sprees between circuits and re-logging. I guess I just have to beat the RNG boss. Thanks for the responses.
