    Hey @Sneak_Thief‌, which dungeons specifically did you try?
    I just got the same bug in Aldunz and Yldzuun in Alik'r @ZOS_GinaBruno

    I had this issue last night. Me and two friends went to Razak's Wheel, where I found a Dwemer page. We then went to Aldunz, where all the containers were empty for me and one of my friends. My other friend could find things, but he had had the empty container in that same dungeon earlier.

    The two of us who had the issue went on to Yldzuun (where I had never been before), and both of us had empty containers.

    We then went to The Rift to Avanchzel, where my friend could loot containers and I couldn't. Since we were in the Rift, I switched to my alt (who can't go to vet zones yet) and she could loot containers with no problem.

    Filed bug reports in both dungeons.

    then if that is the case, then this is not a bug.

    Yeah, but why deny me provisioning mats just because I found a dwemer page? Also, why was my friend affected for two of the dungeons but not the third?

    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.

    This bug is subjective, just because you can loot items once, doesn't mean the bug doesn't exist.

    These are not on timers, trust me. ZOS acknowledges this bug and will be fixing soon. I have found a couple back to back in the same run, and several times have switched to my other toons and get a page right away.

    I've been having the same issues for the last few days as well, Get one run through the ruins and they are wiped clean the next time I enter any dwemer ruin. Have been at this for days, not a single scrap metal or page.

    I also noticed something no one else has mentioned. As I was headed back out I noticed all the containers are already empty, keep in mind I never removed the contents. It would seem once the containers have gone beyond my "clip" and then re-enter they have respawned empty. That's without leaving or logging out. My situation could be unique, but It takes sometime for this to clear up, and I have many others in my guild complaining of the same things. Its annoying trying to farm these pages and seeing people in full Dwemer, or folks complaining in guild chat they got the same page for the 3rd time.

    No doubt these empty containers are a real issue, ZOS has acknowledged it with patch plans. Someone suggested there seems to be a timer to hinder farming by bots. I was farming the Rift delve today, got my first page. I waited at least 20 minutes (probably closer to an hour), then went back in. Containers had loot and I got a second page. So there may be some truth to the timer theory. I also had the other experience of finding all empty containers immediately after a relog. The scraps are dropping for me as well, working on my third set of ten. I think those drops are pure RNG.

    I got a Dwemer Sword motif in Inner Sea Armature in Stonefalls, but didn't seem to Catch this bug afterwards, went to the Dwemer ruin on Stros M'Kai afterwards, didn't find any motif there, and _some_ containers were empty but far from all.

    While the motif pages themselves don't appear to be on a timer, its very possible that the urns themself have timers. I have on several occasions noticed something very odd that would confirm this. On some of my runs in Avanchznel, I made a complete circle and came back to the entrance to find all the urns empty. Note that I DO NOT withdraw items, I just look until I see purple, and when I got back to the entrance those urns/pots that were full were suddenly empty in the same instance, no logs outs or tp's. So the pots themselves may have a timer, I am very certain this has to do with vet characters as my Vet Toon gets empty urns after one run now, and my lv 4's never get the bug. But I can confirm that the actual pages are not on timers due to first hand experiences.

    Yeah I just posted a comment mentioning this, and just realized it happen to you. Thanks for the input and confirmation. As far as what page you get, they all have equal chance, But I did notice that I carried all of my pages with me, and almost always got a new page that was not in my inventory. I didn't start getting dupes til I started using all my pages.

    I'm having lots of problems also with empty containers. Some Dwemer ruins like the one in the rift have lots of full containers but I can head straight over to the one in Eastmarch and every one is empty and I hadn't been through it in weeks.

    There is a least one Dwemer ruin in which containers are never empty, other than regular RNG, and always respawn with relog. I've pulled 3 pages in less than 2 hours farming. In Craglorn.

    Just wanted to pop in and let you all know that the empty containers should be fixed with our patch today. From 1.5.3 patch notes:
    Lootable objects found within items such as urns, crates, sacks, or dressers in delves, will now respawn more quickly as you travel from delve to delve.
    • Note: Lootable objects can and will still be depleted, but the duration between them regenerating has been reduced and the recovery rate has been increased.

    What exactly is the difference between regeneration and recovery rate?

    How did you guys find so many pages? I spent my Sunday running through one vr2 ruin (Shadowfen, North, starts with a "M") , log out, log in, do it again, repeat and managed to find just one page at the end of the frigging day. That's effed up.

    I don't normally farm but I wanted to get a few pages.

    I think one has to do with probability of an item in there, and the other has to do with the speed of which items re appear. So for example, 20 out of 40 pots may regen, with a recovery time of x amount. So rather logging in to 30/40 pots and then they remain empty, lets say its 20/40 but on a more consistent recovery timer.

    I may be completely wrong but that's my take on it. But I have a feeling if drop percentages were not changed then purple drops may be a tad harder to find.

    It seems like the best days to find them were the first two, honestly I haven't been looking since, since they haven't been dropping as well. I found all 14 for myself and then 14 my wife, then sold the extras. But i haven't been trying to find more since they seem to be dropping infrequently/inconstantly.

    One requires a positive value to be input into the code, and the other requires a negative value to be input into the code. Because it's ZOS, they will have flipped a coin to decide the values, then got this all round the wrong way anyway.

    First few days, But I grinded straight for days, so dont mistake my hard work and compare to a couple hours of someone elses. I just didn't let this bug slow me down, and kept moving. Im unemployed atm so I can stay on a bit longer than most. but the average was about 1 every 2 hours. When I was grinding.

    OK. I grinded straight for one day, not a couple hours, for the record.
