Are paintings craftable? Is there a merchant that sells them, and if so, where?

    I keep hearing this, yet I've opened prob 200 chest in the last week with no paintings. Prob 5-6 were Master's chest.
    Guess I'm unlucky there, but I've been finding perfect roe and nirncruxs like crazy though.

    The very first 2 I opened after the patch in some little delve, an intermediate and a master, had purple chests.
    I think that 3 of the paintings I got were all found by my only character that has the treasure hunter CP passive, but obviously RNG was on my side on that day.

    Definitely RNG if you're not getting them yet. I found 7 all these time in the past week and probably opened 500 chests or more.

    I got it from a chest in a vet dungeon. You can also just buy them from any guild vendor. Prices already dropped to 3k and will be 2k this week.

    I haven't found any either. I'm not sure if it's because all my characters are below level 50, and I've mainly been looking at overland chests or if it's just bad RNG.

    I've managed to find five paintings so far just by doing what I normally did before housing came out. I am almost positive that one of them came from an urn when we were running a trial.

    I opened a bunch of locked chests before I finally got one out of an Advanced chest.

    My character was level 27 or 28 at the time.

    I finally got my first painting today and it was in a simple chest. So while odds may be better with higher level cheats they can drop in any it seems. But, as noted earlier, treasure map chests are still bugged.

    got one from a chest so i tried to hang it in my home.

    it ended up a few inches from the wall, but when i tried to adjust it, i could not select it again.

    can select anything else in that room, just not the painting.

    so it's floating near the wall, in midair, serving as an (untouchable) reminder of zos and some of the holes they always seem to leave in their coding.

    You can retrieve it through the housing editor. There's a tab marked retrieve items I believe.

    It should be noted that only "Bolted" and "Sturdy" paintings are found in chests.

    "Refined" paintings (the best looking ones IMO) are crown store exclusive.

    That retrieve option is a handy little feature. I put two lanterns on the wall and one was a little higher than the other. Couldn't highlight either to reposition them and thought I was going to have to move.

    rng is weird for those. one day I was running around opening chests like crazy to the point of hitting 1000 chest achievement. there was probably close to 150 chests that I opened that day. zero paintings.

    few days later, I'm running around again, not even farming chests specifically, just mats but opening any chest I come across. less then dozen chests - 3 paintings.

    there is no rhyme or reason to it, just keep hoping that your luck changes.

    I do hope they fix the treasure maps and soon. my bag space is starting to feel cramped again :/

    I wish they dropped in lock-boxes too because I looted tons of those in the past week, but yeah they only drop from chests & apparently they don't drop form treasure map chests for now... ( possible bug )

    confirmed bug. they are working on fixing it. one hopes that today's patch would be it. but... don't know for sure. only that they are aware, that its a bug and that last update was that they are working on fixing it

    My issue with paintings is except the Bolted ones they're so dark and dull you have to stick torches around them just to make out what they are. I don't like the fuzzy, watercolored look. And the one I found was in a chest in a vet dungeon, only found one ever.
