Zones Effecting Furniture Race Drops?

I'm starting to notice something a little bit odd, and I'm wondering if anyone else noticed it. Or perhaps could explain it for me.
For my hunt for High Elf blueprints/plans, I've decided to focus on poking around Auridon and Reaper's March. Since the update has gone live, I've gotten maybe 1 or 2 high elf plans. With the vast majority of the rest being Khajiit and Dark Elf. With the remaining being either race-less or Orc. Why is this? Isn't Auridon supposed to yield the most likely chance to receive Altmer furniture plans?

✭✭✭✭✭I'd heard it was supposed to work that way - or at least that you would get more plans related to the Alliance (so Auridon would give more high elf, wood elf and khajiit plans), but it doesn't seem to be working like that.
I've been doing 90% of my searching on the two ships in Daggerfall harbour and I've gotten about as many high elf, dark elf, khajiit, nord etc. plans as breton or orc or redguard.PC EU player | She/her/hers | PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!

✭It seems to be slightly skewed by alliance: I spent a couple weeks farming in Auridon and Khenarthi's Roost, and I do have about 50% more AD-themed plans than the other two alliances.
Then again, I've spent the last three days farming Mournhold, and I've only found one Dark Elf plan out of over a dozen, so maybe it is just RNG.

Silh'ki, khajiit warrior-chef: "Would this one be able to go outside, to the nearby river? It's hard to fish without water!"
Peregrine Huntress, bosmer hunter: "Who is forcing me to stay inside, and where can I find them?"
Lorenyawe, altmer mechanist: "And why would I want to go outside in the first place? Too much to be done in the workshop."
Lorelai Magpie, breton master thief: "I'd go nuts. Lucky for me, I have a little experience sneaking out!"
Rasheda the Burning Heart, redguard knight: "I would continue my training to keep my skills sharp."
Hex-Eye Azabi, khajiit daedric priestess: "I suppose it would be lucky, then, that I built a shrine to Mephala in my backyard."
Yngva Stormhammer, nord bandit (reformed...ish): "I hate being inside even when I'm not forced to be. GET. ME. OUT."
Madam Argentia, vampire dunmer aristocrat: "I suppose it would be more of the same. I have a rather... contentious relationship with the sun."

Lmao! That's so weird. I'm farming an AD zone, and getting tons of Dark Elf stuff. Meanwhile you're in an EP zone, and things are reversed.
I'm starting to believe it's all RNG in actuality as well, and ZOS just joking about certain zones being more likely to drop things for its native race. Either that, or there's a crap ton more Darin Elf and Khajiit furniture plans than anything else. 0 -

It was stated it was "suppose" to work that way, but in my experience it doesn't work like that what so ever. I have characters all over the place. Auridon, Wrothgar, Reaper's, Rivenspire, Bangrokai and they all get the same time of drops. For me, it's mostly Orc stuff, followed by Redguard, Breton, Wood Elf, High Elf, Khajit then Nord and Dark Elf.
It has made absolutely no difference which zone I am stealing from or which character I'm on.
It is purely RNG based, which is something that ZOS really, really, really needs to start getting away from.
I love designing my homes, but am really hating the RNG for EVERYTHING that comes with it. I had been hoping I wouldn't have as much of an issue with getting stuff where my main goal of this whole thing would be to save up in game gold to buy the next biggest home so I can design that one as well, and eventually own them all after a couple of years, but it is far too clear that ZOS has put in the RNG issue to force players to the crown store for microtransactions.Far too many characters to list any more.2 -

✭✭I've been farming Sanguine's Demesne trying to get Argonian-related blueprints, but I've been getting a whole lot of stuff for non-EP racees. High elf shelf, Orc carpet, a Khajiit vase, a Breton rocking chair, and some other stuff. Hardly anything related to the alliance, nevermind the zone itself.Dalek-Rok - Argonian Sorcerer || Dalek-Shād - Argonian Nightblade || Dalek-Shul - Argonian Templar || Dalek-Xal - Argonian Dragonknight || Mounts-the-Snout - Argonian Warden || Dalek-Xul - Argonian Necromancer || Two-Spires - Argonian Arcanist || Dalek-Nesh - Argonian Sorcerer || Dalek-Kör - Argonian DragonknightJudas Helviaryn wrote: »Don't incorporate bugs into your builds, and you won't have [an] issue.1 -

✭✭✭✭✭I can confirm it's not at all aligned by region/zone to race furniture plans on Xbox One NA as of 2/22/17.
I'm looking for Redguard items in Alikir, Bankorai, Stros Mkai
I've not found one but I found two Orc recipes in Shadownfen doing a few quests to finish the zone Wednesday. ShrugEdited by NewBlacksmurf on February 24, 2017 6:04PM-PC (PTS)/Xbox One: NewBlacksmurf

That is a tiny, tiny sample size... not really enough to confirm anything.
I just checked my spreadsheet, and here's what I have after two weeks of using a primarily Auridon-Khenarthi's Roost route:
Total plans: 124
Generic / non-racial: 33
Argonian: 5
Breton: 12
Dark Elf: 6
High Elf: 11
Khajiit: 12
Nord: 12
Orc: 11
Redguard: 7
Wood Elf: 15
So in an AD area, that's 26.6% generic plans, 30.6% AD, 18.5% Pact, and 24.2% DC plans.
So.... yeah. It's a very slight advantage toward plans being area-based... though that's not considering that my most common are Wood Elf, when I was specifically farming High Elf and Khajiit areas.
The point is, the margin's close enough that I'm going to agree with everyone else that it's entirely random.

✭✭✭✭✭I'm definitely noticing there being things more randomized than specific. Sigh. I can tell this is going to be a long grind in my quest for High Elf beauty.1
