    What about a location like Inner Sea Armature in Stonefalls? It doesn't have the Dwemer Ruin symbol, but is still a Dwemer Ruin inside nonetheless.


    That is a very good question. While the crafting areas don't have a lot of containers usually, there are some containers in there.

    Don't know about crafting locations, I don't know how Zenimax tags their containers but it seems likely that anything that looks dwemer (specifically the pots and urns) has a chance of dropping it.

    I pulled a Staff chapter from Aldunz in Alik'r and that has the normal Delve symbol rather than the Dwemer symbol.

    Problem still persist. Seems as soon as I got my second dwemer page, both myself and the person I was group with re-logged and now all lootables are empty again.

    After I got my second Dwemer page all containers, no matter which Dwemer dungeon I went to, were empty. Even the Dwemer delves I hadn't been to yet. All empty. (I tried both relogging and leaving and re-entering. Neither worked).

    Yeah, I hope this is fixed soon. I just can't believe it bugged out the other member in my group who has yet to find one.

    It seems like there is an internal diminishing return going on. I haven't done any relog farming, but I was going back and forth between Yldzuun and Aldunz and I think it was my second time to Yldzuun and everything was perma-empty. Going out and coming back in, switching ruins, re-logging, all the same result. The heavy sacks and most mobs remain lootable and dropping scraps sometimes, but those containers just stay empty

    Thanks. Also to any AD players, since we don't have them in our zones, when you go to CH you will need to climb to the entrance on the hill to re-gain access to the Vile Lab, once you have beat it.

    Or if you have created a new character, the fighter's guild story takes place inside a dwarven ruin. Ironically i started a new character aimed to be a 1H/2H tank/warrior, and i just completed Auridon yesterday and placed the guild on hold for this specific reason :)

    Diminishing returns is what you get when you start looting til they become empty (so thats a pretty good way to describe it). Finding a purple page instantly empties all containers on next relog. I hope there is a quick fix soon though, hard to complete the set this way.

    It seems that, as soon as you get a motif page, all containers in all Dwemer ruins still go empty. I hope this gets fixed soon...

    Seems like an anti-farming mechanic to me.

    FYI we combated this yesterday and my wife got all the pages. I ran her through Avanchanzel in the Rift on my VR14 and when she was done with a run she would switch to an alt, didn't matter the level, and we'd go again. By the time she was through all 8 characters, her main was off the cooldown (seems to last about an hour). Took us about 8 hours but we eventually got all the pages.

    This empty containers bug in the Dwemer ruins was reported on the PTS. See the second item in this comment from the 1.5 PTS Bugs thread.

    http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/discussion/comment/1327548/#Comment_1327548

    Granted, the issue did not occur 100% of the time which may have impacted ZOS' ability to recreate and fix the problem. Nevertheless, this issue was reported during PTS testing.

    Yeah I tested this in the PTS and knew about the issue, I figured it would have been addressed, since it was brought up. Thats why I made this thread here, after seeing these issues persisted in the live update.

    They want us to play PTS but don't pay attention to the bugs people point out? lol Im not surprised at this but damn ZOS you need to get your crap together.

    What do we need diminishing returns for? We're not bots, they're totally gone from the game...and gold farmers won't touch this game with a ten foot pole. If we want to farm (and this game forces it by making things so hard to find) then let us friggin' farm.

    I went into one Dwemer ruin today and ALL the containers were empty. So, because others have looted the heck out of this place I get nothing? I can't see how thats fair. Is this how that really works?

    You mean you've found containers at all? Granted I only tried two dwemer ruins (one in Stonefalls and one in Deshaan) but didn't find a single container...

    Hate to disagree, but you need to check again. I was in Bthanual in Deshaan yesterday and today, and there are containers. Not as many as I would like, but they are there, at least 20-30. Most are in the form of pots, jugs, and jars. And the bug is there as well. First time through, more than half of the containers had items. After a relog, very few had anything. At the time I thought maybe ZOS was busting our chops, then I learned about the bug.

    OK, I got the impression that these would be some sort of special containers... Found a lot of pots etc but all had just normal reagents and stuff...

    So I managed to get a page of the new motif, but I have noticed that any other Dwemer Dungeon I go to ALL (and I do mean ALL) lootables like urns,pots,ect are empty. Despite logging in and out or visiting other dungeons they remain empty 100% of the time. And they are not resetting.

    Since the first few minutes of the first dungeon I visited, everything since that point has been empty, so whats going on?

    EDIT: After some testing it seems as long as you don't loot containers they reset. If you do fine a purple page, this bugs the containers and all will be empty, despite logging back in,ect. Me finding a page also bugged a group member who had yet to find anything.

    This is not true. Checked alot of Dwemer dungeons and there was tons of boxes to loot.

    I have been through all the dungeons and the jugs and boxes all of them respawn after about 30 minutes or so. However after 2 days of farming I still have yet to find a single motif. Meanwhile I have seen 4 people in full Dwemer pass me. Troll on Zos.....Troll on.

    There are only a couple areas that don't currently have this bug. Also, it would be really nice to get some confirmation on some of the mechanics. Such things as: if I find a dwemer page, does finding one decrease my chances of finding another for a certain period of time? Because it certainly seems like something of that sort is going on. Found one after about an hour of farming today, and over 4 hours of farming after that I found nothing.

    Good those of you that got some pages, I'd just like to seem some loot (at all) in any of the ruins, I think I averaged 1 scrap/hr as a VR11...

    I will say one of these dungeons is better than the other.. concerning amount of containers. No contest. Don't know if the actual drop rate is as good as the others, nor can I confirm if the motif actually drops from here (some guy farming showed me one though). Funny thing is I found an Imp Motif in an urn while looking for pages within the first few minutes.. nice piece of cake.

    It seems that it doesn't matter if you find a page or not. Once you go through a ruin all others are empty. I started off doing Klathzgar, opened all the containers I found, no page. Then I went on to Razak's Wheel and then to Bthzark. All containers where empty
