New motifs part of base game patch? Or must purchase DLC update 11?

Nor_the_Fallen
In the v2.5.0 PTS patch notes the new motifs Akatosh, Dark Brotherhood, and Minotaur are listed under "Shadow of the Hist DLC Game Pack". New motif Drom-m'Athra is listed under "Base Game Patch".

On the website if you click on the update 11 launch details and look under "UPDATE 11 BASE-GAME PATCH" you will find "Four new crafting styles: Akatosh, Dark Brotherhood, dro-m'Athra, and Minotaur" listed as part of it.

Which motifs are obtainable/come with the base game patch?

    Hmm. That is ambiguous, you are righy. However, I'd imagine they are actually part of the dark brotherhood DLC, since the activities needed to acquire them are all part of that DLC.

    Since motifs have yet to come BoP, chances are high that you can buy them at guild traders. Need to wait a while until the price drops to reasonable values, but it will come.

    Well, dro-m'athra will definelty reqiure you to have Thieves Guilds dlc to obtain it.

    Full disclosure for those that have the power to type in green, if I can obtain Akatosh, Dark Brotherhood, and Minotaur without purchasing the new DLC. I will not buy it. So I would really like to know the answer to the question: Which motifs are obtainable/come with the base game patch?

    They all require older DLCs, though, specifically, TG and DB. So, no, they don't require the new DLC, but they're not a base game update, either--they're an update of existing DLC content.

    ZOS's recent pattern is to introduce a new dropped-only style in a DLC and then make it craftable in a future update. So while none of the motifs being introduced will require the new DLC, a future motif may require this upcoming DLC.

    OK that answers my question. Thank you. Would love to have green letter confirmation though.

    The four new motifs you mention are part of the expansions, which should be evident from the places they are gotten from.

    Akatosh, Dark Brotherhood and Minotaur come from the Gold Coast.
    Dro-m'Athra comes from Maw of Lorkhaj.

    Base-game patch probably refers to the fact that they aren't part of the new dlc content, but rather an addition to already existing content, which includes previous expansions.
