Devs said yes, but I haven't got enough blueprints to confirm that. And I don't know if dlc areas and Coldharbour are affected.

I do tend to get more Orc related stuff in Wrothgar. It seems like the items are more race specific in some zones.

Now the question is, is the 3 base races for that alliance in those alliance zones, or is the base race for that zone? The first seems to be the most balanced way, RNG aside.

That leads to another question, are there Imperial plans?

I would say being in a certain location would increase percentage yield of the appropriate race.

When I was in a Breton town looting I got ALOT of Breton diagrams however I did also get an Orc diagram however at a much lower percentage.

I decided to then go to Betnikh an orc city and began looting and my first item looted was an Orc diagram. I didn't spend much time in Betnikh so it might've been a coincidence. But that's just my observation.

Devs said yes. You CAN find the other racial styles for sure, but you will find more or the racial style(s) that matches the zone. It was ZOS_MandiParker that commented on it.

So folks... I fancy owning a redguard couch. Where do you reckon I go?

I will second this request, and add on another for good places for Khajiiti furniture. Maybe something less heavily guarded than the bank in Vulkel Guard for Altmer too since I'm asking... >.>

I've been looking for Redguard furniture and farming pretty exclusively in Hew's Bane, Alik'r, Stros M'kai and Bankorai and I've go about 1/3 Redguard recipes and the other 2/3 spread between the other races. So yes (for me) it is worth while farming the specific racial zone you're after. (And it's also worth keeping all the green/blue/purple stolen treasures and selling them to the Thieves Guild, and laundering the racial style stones).

I loot every trunk, wardrobe, desk, nightstand, backpack and basket in every house in as many towns as possible (though I've also had a Redguard recipe drop from a Redguard pirate in Stros M'kai as well) and then run to not-the-closest-wayshrine in order to farm at least SOME mats as well. This method has got me at least 30+ recipes, with more coming from guild stores (financed by the Thieves Guild).

@Icy Thank you!

While the devs have said yes, I have found it not to be true.

I get the exact same blueprints in auridon that I get in Wrothgar, across all characters. It seems that Orc stuff drops the most for me no matter where I am searching for them.

That's.. odd. I've been spending most of my time is Auridon and most of my plans are high elf. Wood elf is a bit higher than the rest too.

Another thank you from me! @WhiteCoatSyndrome I've been robbing the bank and fighter guild blind every chance I have. Plus I took a mule and started questing there so hit up all the quests towns etc. I have been heavily after Altmer too, and I'd say half of my plans are altmer. The other half is split among other races with a bit more wood elf than the rest.

I can neither confirm nor deny this OP, just because I have so many alts parked in banks I log on and off when I need something or just to get the daily mails on some and when I am on them I just quickly loot the containers and then after a few days I launder.

So I have so many different sets I didn't check where I got what.

I assume it's true because the majority of my blueprints are probably Breton, however I have found plenty of Khajiit and Redguard stuff in Stormhaven too so perhaps it's just a % multiplier and not really a definitive factor?

@WhiteCoatSyndrome and @MissBizz you're both welcome ^_^

I found one in the dwemer ruins in Bangkorai of all places. I also find a lot of High Elf in The Rift. My rng must be wonky

I've found ALLOT of plans now and even though some places such as banks and things in some towns pretty much always seem to drop plans associated with races from whichever alliance it happens to be in, and delves/public dungeons seem to also favour the races from the alliance they are in, allot of the time the plan will also be of a different race.

I found pretty much all Altmer and Khajiit stuff in Auridon, but I did also find a purple Argonian bark plan in a bank in Auridon, and both of my Redguard tapestries are from the public dungeon in Eastmarch too, so although its probably better to farm in the areas associated with the racial style you want, you can also find other racial styles in those areas too, and for me, those other random racial styles have mostly been blue/purple, not sure if thats just coincidence or not...

In group dungeons and in Coldharbour it so far seems to be completely random, no matter where the group dungeon is, from my observations at least

I've been farming recipes since a couple days after the patch dropped, and I can definitely confirm this.

I first started farming in the auridon bank, and the majority of recipes I got were High Elf. I wanted redguard stuff; so, I hit up sentinel and definitely got the majority of my furnishing plans as the redguard style. I moved to Evermore castle, and I found redguard / breton / orc. I do occasionally get the random race like - argonian, wood elf, and nord, but usually I tend to get most of the race specific stuff in that race specific zone.

Quick note, I dunno if it's tied to crafting level or character level, but I found WAY more purples and racial furniture plans on my cp200+ toon with crafters all around 40 or maxed. On my level 48 alt with no skills in crafting I only got white and generic green recipes, very seldom were they ever racial specific furnishings.
