Why is Embroidery so diffcult to find? Veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery frusterating.

raidentenshu_ESO · June 2016

I'm finding it extremely difficult to upgrade my robes due to the fact that Embroidery is extremely rare to find. I've been deconstructing my loot, and yet I have gotten about about 1 or 2 if I'm even lucky.

I went to the traders market to find that this player seems to not have any problems finding it whatsoever.

What is the secret of getting this key ingredient without going broke due to the poor economics in this game.

Go out, collect clothing mats, refine, reap Embroidery, Elegant Linings, etc. Another way is to do 4-man group content like dungeons to get some of the higher level drops for deconstructing. Also invest some points into the Clothing crafting skill line, especially for hirelings and working your way up in that skill tree.

Abusing the bank exploit maybe??

You could always go farm raw materials and refine them. Its a slow process but it works.

I have several hundred of these at any given time. Main way i get them is refining raw mats but also i have the hireling on 5 toons with max tailoring. I never sell drops, i decon them with a toon till they are maxed in that skill and then start deconning them with another. Its takes a little time to get several toons up there but you will get there eventually.

Do you have the Extraction Passive? If not, you won't get much in the way of Tempers back

Are you deconning gear that is way over your crafting level? Same thing, less Tempers, but still more if you have the extraction passive.

Finally, I get probably 30 to 50 Blue Tempers a week from my L3 Hirelings (I have 6 characters running those)

Forgot to add, you can Buy Blue Tempers pretty cheap in the guild stores. And, using the passives that reduce the amount of Tempers you need is key to being able to improve gear without going broke or being frustrated.

Nestor is spot on. Points in extraction to increase yield from refining and decon. It goes without saying you only get embroidery by deconning blue items. This mat is far from rare. I have so much I don't hesitate to sell blue items or decon it on new alts for more ISP. It's also nowhere near as expensive as Dwarven oil, the balcksmith counterpart.

I sell them to vendors.

It's stupidly easy to come by

It's not rare. I can think of several reason why this player would have a lot to sell, not counting the recent bank exploit.

Perhaps said player has been grinding mats for their own use to upgrade toons. I know I have been farming and refining a lot because I need gold tempers.
Perhaps said player is a "trader' and buys cheap mats and resells them.
Until crafting bags, I would sell 25 Embroidery every time I had more than a stack. If I had put them on a mule instead and saved them up, I could easily be selling that many from old inventory to capitalize on the re-gear craze.

People are refining literally x 10 the amounts they used to need to craft v16 gear compared to v14, hence way more tempers around, especially for crasfters like me who request raw mats instead of a crafting tip

These sell so well on guild traders that you are losing a ton of gold just vendoring them.

Lol @ this post.

OP wait till you need Tempering Alloy if this trash mat is expensive...
