you dont find lootable rings outside of containers

just realized this, like in skyrim there would be gold on the table and sometimes rings laying around that you can loot
would add to the game if you guys made it a world loot item and put it random places near like loot stashes.
i might be wrong, but i dont think ive ever seen a ring outside of a container like a chest

I feel like it'd be a lot easier to miss, what could be, an extremely epic piece of jewelry laying on a nightstand than missing a trunk/container that holds said piece of jewelry..

Just my opinion though.. ESO RNG already bends us players over a barrel with our knickers below our knees, no need to add another element to it.. Not everyone enjoys taking massive amounts of time to use a fine tooth comb when looting areas, especially to look for such small items.

You do already find septims lying around sometimes, most notably near merchants and bankers.

As for rings, an interesting idea, but not really worth it. If they only dropped trashy non-set white/green rings, nobody would even bother looting them. On the other hand, if they dropped set purple/gold rings, nobody would have incentive to do vet dungeons anymore.

Unless you had another way in mind, I don't see a good way to put this in.

I have only seen Coin Stacks and Soul Gems of the smaller worth looting variety.

Some of the Baubles for the Museum in Orsinium can be quite small, but they have a glow on them so they stand out. Same with the baubles for the Thieves Guild List, some are small, but all glow.

its an immersion thing and its been in previous elder scrolls games which means it would benefit including in this game as well, since there are already many other in world lootable objects laying around
