Motifs

jaye63 · January 2017

They're pointless unless you're standing around stylin. The items you wear post CP160 cant be styled nor can you craft them so if you want to be *stylin* you have to do it when you're not doing anything.

Yes this is another *Make dropped items styleable* thread. And Im not farming any more motifs and Im not BUYING WITH REAL MONEY any more motifs until we can do one or the other.

[Edit to remove mention of protest]

I'm quite a bit over the cap and I wear crafted gear on many of my toons. I even got my first clear in vMA in crafted gear. Some of the crafted sets are even considered BiS.

Edit: I do agree with the option to restyle dropped gear.

^*^. Some wear a bit of crafted gear. However, this thread could have continued the very same topic in a thread that was created yesterday or the day before. They tend to die out fast. Sry.

^This.^

I would be OK with a restyle of sets ... but the bigger issue is the underperforming crafted sets need to be brought up to par with their better crafted and dropped counterparts.

Thanks for that. I appreciate you not saying Im beating a dead horse. And I agree with you. When your toon needs something, you get it that something. Would be nice to make it look different than everyone else's. Especially different from the opposition factions in Cyrodil.

Another excellent point.

For the 4th time in the last 2 days, please read the patch notes.

Motif knowledge will be quite valuable in a month.

Link please. I have 6 toons that I just got to 50 (cp 325) that I need to farm gear for so I dont have a lot of time for finding this stuff.

imnotanother · January 2017

So who wants to make this exact thread, again, tomorrow?

We can't have enough of them, right? I'll start penciling in names and will get the schedule ready.

In a nutshell motif knowledge is directly linked to the number of master writs you'll get. Gimme a sec and I'll grab that link.

Make crafted gear on par with dropped sets. Jewelcrafting is the most important part of this.

Here you go. Also, go to the main page, and take 45 minutes to read over the full notes. It's worth the effort.

@THEDKEXPERIENCE

For the last time in 2 days... not many people will be convinced in buying or farming motifs for just a 0.1 percent increase in master writs.... you keep saying this like finally motifs are useful again..... they are not... they are just secondary gear you give to your alts cause you dont care about farming viper, Ilambris... etc

I agree that many people won't, but it doesn't make them pointless or worthless. They now have a point other than crafted sets. If you don't want to participate in the new master writs then cool, don't.

They certainly have a point now for me and many others.

@Giles.floydub17_ESO

You know what i like most about the motifs threads?? they die quickly... but generate a ton of comments and still NOBODY... not even one person has said transmorg is a bad idea...
And you got to admit that motif sales will increase if you implement transmorg..

The last thread about motifs ive created got me 3 forum badges

What do you do for Tbs and nmg then? Some of us like a shiny new set now and then. What really killed off motifs was 1T in a way. Who crafts torugs swords now? Sword motifs were always desirable. We need jewelery crafting too, it's make wearing crafted helms and shoulders more viable as you can wear 2x5 crafted sets then.

In terms of buying up *** tons of them for the sake of master writs it'll be a massive pointless waste. Unless you've got millions to spare you may as well buy the writ the rewards you want. It'll be cheaper or the same cost without the rng. Not to mention actually finding what you need.

I completely agree with you.... 1T killed the craftable motifs...

And even though TBS is the best crafted gear.... it STILL doesnt outshine gear like Viper.... especially for PvP

I wear 5 of both Viper and TBS. I have every motif in the game too. Looking forward to Master Writs

While I don't have millions I have spent 700k on motifs this week and have probably 75% of them. Honestly, at this point I don't have much else to spend gold on because I don't really care about getting a mansion on patch day.
