No, you can't get them refunded. No, I'm not an "Official" ZOS dev or employee, but you're better off submitting a ticket to see if they'd make an exception.

Additionally, the details on the motifs you purchase are fine. You should have known, way before purchasing, that every style, Argonian, Orc, Breton, etc. requires style material stones. Without them, you can't craft gear in that style. Same is applied to those and should have been obvious.

To clear up some confusion, the style mats are rares, but not from high level zones. They can be purchased from guild traders or while deconstructing gear you receive from quests/delving/exploring, etc.

I did the same thing with the Daedric Motif.

You'll have to go shell gold on the Guild Traders if you want to find the items before reaching the appropriate zones. I've only ever had one single Daedra Heart naturally, I had to buy the other 5 I've had.

Don't expect or ask for a refund, as somebody else mentioned it's pretty obvious from early in the game that you need specific style mats for certain styles... in fact they teach you it THREE times in the respective crafting certification missions which are found in the first city of the game........ but that's besides the point.

The Item Description tells you all you need to know - which is the level you need to be to learn the motif. You were the one who assumed you'd be able to craft without materials, that was just you thinking things unwarrantedly and without any supporting evidence - if you understood beforehand how crafting worked you may have saved yourself some trouble.

Next time you buy something I suggest you research what you're buying - and if you buy something for crafting, protip: understand how crafting works first.

Regardless that wasn't exactly a great purchase.... I've already picked up 3 Barbaric Motifs without even looking for them, it's literally the most common "rare style."
