    Sadly is not just Wayrest Bank, after patch there are loads of containers turning out empty after opening all over the world, whole castles, houses mansions etc.

    Have been playing on the EU server and been having problems on and off for weeks with items not respawning in containers. Was actually working for possibly three days after last update properly then it's back to 1 in 5 containers/cupboards etc getting loot (if lucky). As well as containers appearing to have something in them until clicked. Thought I was the only one with the problems, apparently not.

    I do at times like to farm for rare stuff and usually stable my alt characters in places with many containers for a quick looting tour before and after a play session.

    And I always noticed there are (more or less random) times when containers simply do not yield anything. Not anything at all.
    It does not always affect the same locations - but it happens everywhere across all zones. And this "issues" were always there, not just now after 1.4

    It almost feels like a code segment that is supposed to periodically refresh the containers sometimes just crashes or neglects to run at all.
    And the longer the server is up without a maintenance the more noticeable this gets.
    Dont get me wrong - apparently Wayrest atm suffers from this big time but it has always happened... somewhere.
    It's nothing "new" - rather something very old which has never been fixed properly.

    I Played last night in the Rift. 2 solo dungeons had EVERY container empty and 90% of the enemy NPC didn't drop anything at all. My husband played also but he had some loot drop, however, he also found every container empty. On the positive side, I've found more regular motifs & blue recipes than I've ever found in one day but they were found at houses and inns. I've thankfully found some useful armor and weapons in random crates, even green items. I don't know if that was intended but I like it. So, it seems like a fair trade off.

    I hope there isnt some hacker node farming all chests and overloading the servers.

    The only place I've ran into empty clickables is Wayrest Bank. Every place else I've been has loot.

    Wayrest is fine now, thanks for fixing it. First time I opened a desk there today I got a daedric motif.

    Either wayrest bank lootables are bugged again or it has been heavily nerfed. Every desk, trunk, nightstand etc. are empty every single time I log in.

    I was having issues on the live EUR server the other day - about 75% of lootable places were empty. Seems fine now though - So thanks to the devs if they made any fixes :)

    I just logged on this morning and one of my characters farmed the Wayrest Castle and Treasury. Most containers had something to loot and I got a couple of blue recipes, a motif and left behind the style gems and trash provisioning ingredients.

    Last night in those same buildings I picked up a motif, and a purple recipe along with the normal suspects. I had farmed those buildings a couple of times last night and other than a higher than normal incidence of empty containers, it was normal looting. Which leads me to my next point.

    I will say that I have noticed something more so lately than I did before. I see containers being opened when I am standing there, then become empty. I don't see the toon opening it. I have also noticed that after being in the banks or buildings for a while, or more often, when coming back to the building (and not logging out so same instance), the containers start to become empty. So, it seems like the instances are starting to get muddle together.

    1st time I enter any building half the cupboards, chests etc are open and emptied. Have noticed this more and more since 1.3
    Fewer and fewer are unopended with stuff in.
    Some building I enter have been completely gutted of goods.

    After this last Monday's update the chests and containers in the Wayrest Bank and Castle are always open and empty. I have checked them several times each day with two different toons and they are always open and empty.

    It's the same way in the Rift bank for my V11 toon too.

    I had a strange experience in Vulkhel Guard just now. The containers in the bank had some mildly interesting loot, but my inventory was full, so I went to the bank clerk and got rid of some items. However, when I went back to the containers that had the loot, they were suddenly empty, as were all the other containers in the bank, where I had found disinteresting loot and left it alone. This was seconds after I found stuff in them, with no zoning in between.
    I might have simply run into my first visit to that place at the time when it reset, but it was still strange and unexpected.

    I often find containers in banks empty. I assumed this was an attempt to stop the most blatant no-brainer farming for motifs and recipes, and I have no problems with that. The spooky self-emptying chests were unexpected, though.

    There have always been some empty containers in the world, probably part of an RNG scheme to have loot in the first place. However I am seeing more empty containers in buildings lately.

    I have seen the exact thing you have with the containers being emptied after looking in them. It's almost like they added a mechanism that makes the containers available once you have looked in them for the next instanced player. But, I have also seen containers that I know I have not looked in get empty while I am in the building. It was kind of eerie to watch a chest open it's lid while I was standing there watching it.

    Just last night, and for the first time, I received a purple recipe and a purple motif in the same building.
  • black-gryphonb14_ESO
    I don't think this is limited to furniture - in several instances the past few days have gone into dungeons and EVERYTHING but a couple backpacks were empty. Trying to level provisioner on a couple alts this was quite noticeable and very strange.

    Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that this change is not intentional, and we will be fixing it in a future patch (aiming for when Update 5 is released).

    I have seen this in dungeons. I was leveling my alts and the main story line quest had no items to loot. But then later on, doing the same quest with another alt, there were items to loot... They were both the same level too, so it wasnt like one player was over leveled for this quest. Two players, two different loot tables... one no loot, the other with loot.
    Are you not entertained?

    Seems to be happening again. For some reason after every update then most of the lootable places are empty - then the day after, everything is fine.

    Nice to see that ZOS recognises that there is a problem. Just hope the fix is out soon. Looting is just depressing at the moment. Used to have the problem just in cities now no loot everywhere. Just did a dungeon delve and the grand total of loot out of containers apart from very low order ingredients was three cloud mist's. If it wasn't for the NPC's wouldn't have bothered :\ Managed to find some two pepper the other day and that was a highlight of the day. Please Please get this fixed soon.
