Suggestion: Allow sets to drop in known motifs for an area

I would like an RNG chance for item sets to drop in any style I know. I have learned a ton of motifs but never use them since I primarily farm set items for builds, which is a shame. I don't see ZOS adding a transmogrification system anytime soon, so this is just a moderate compromise that gives you a chance at them.

This could use some general rules however:
- DLC style armor pieces only drop in the appropriate DLC zone, and wouldn't affect special sets for that DLC. For example Trinimac set always drops in Trinimac style, but another open world set may drop in the Trinimac style in Orsinium only.
- purple styles (Daedric, primal, ancient elf, glass) only drop in champion level areas, such as enemy alliance areas or dungeons
- PVP styles still come from AP & tel var vendors
- You only have a chance for motif styles you know.

This change over all would allow a chance, though low chance, to get a set item in an interesting style. It would also give you a chance at some rare style materials in breaking down these items.

    Not advisable. If you know multiple motifs the. You could end up with a very mismatched set of armor.

    Already happening, since you can get many of the over world sets in any style. This might give you a style though you like over those.

    Edit: possible adjustment- your more likely to get it in a particular race's motif in their home zones.

    No thanks. I want the set to be in a limited style this the point of a set. To match

    Now some others have asked for the feature of changing or transmog opportunities for known motif which seems like a better way to offer what you want.

    A lot of overworld sets don't match however, and have little logic. As mentioned, a higher chance of a style per a racial zone can help, but that's one of the reasons for trading too

    Most sets drop in one or two styles when obtain through similar means. LOf the number of motifs I have in my main the OP suggestion would increase the chance that every piece of my armor would be a different racial style.

    doubt Zos would give this a second thought.

    Personally, I would rather them just keep drop sets they way they are that way all the pieces of a certain set are in the same style. I would much rather they implement a transmutation system, but like mentioned above it doesn't seem like that will be happening soon.

    Allowing us to restyle armour would be far better. A huge % of us still have to wear xivkyn. I'd love dro m'artha spc or scathing.
