Furniture Recipe Zones?

I know furniture recipes are supposed to roughly correspond to the zone you are in; i.e. if you are in Auridon you will have a chance to find more High Elf recipes than other races. Based on what stolen goods I loot out of containers (they are usually themed to the zone) I think it's just one race per zone, but is there a list anywhere of what you can expect to find in each zone? Obviously some are easy, like Grahtwood, but what about Bangkorai with a Redguard half and a Breton half?
Also does anybody know a good place to farm Redguard furniture recipes? I have a couple of spots but none of them are really good.

✭✭Perhaps there is a higher chance of finding the racial furniture recipes in the corresponding racial zones, but I have a high number of High Elf and Redguard recipes, and I haven't been farming in those zones. I've been trying to get more Dunmer recipes, and so far, farming in the Dunmer zones hasn't yielded any more of them than anything else.2 -
Jaeysa✭✭✭✭✭I've been getting more Breton items, as I've been farming Shormhelm extensively, but I haven't noticed a dearth of the other items.PC/NA: Primarily Daggerfall Covenant.

Truthsnark✭✭✭✭Well, ZOS said that it is influenced by zone in the patch notes. You have a chance of finding all recipes, but have a higher chance of finding recipes of the race corresponding to the zone you are in.
I've been tracking every drop I get and farming almost exclusively in Wrothgar and Bangkorai, I have a good percentage more Orcish, Breton, and Redguard stuff than any other race. Out of 347 looted recipes (obviously some duplicates in there), 12.7% are Breton, 13.1% are Orcish, and 13% are Redguard. All other races are between 5-8%. I suspect that my success with Redguard recipes here is just because there are more Redguard recipes than any other race.
Where I think it's really making a difference is in Superior recipes, as I've been doing most of my farming in Wrothgar (it's easier than anywhere else) and 19% of my found Superior recipes are Orcish, with the next closest Breton at 13.2%, and the rest following in the mid-single digits.
Also, if looting a recipe the chance of it being Fine - Superior - Epic seems to be roughly 75% - 20% - 5%. I have not received a legendary recipe yet.
Really what I just want to know is if anybody's got a better place than the Hew's Bane Fighter's Guild to farm in a Redguard zone.0 -

No they did not. At least, show me where you read it, and I read all the patch notes, I looked them through again and did not find any statement of this.•Plans can be found in containers across the world, purchased from certain merchants, dropped from monsters, or even obtained from pickpocketing (or murdering) Tamrielic citizens.
•Higher quality plans will require knowledge from multiple tradeskills. •Example: An elaborate canopy bed may require rank 9 in the passive skill Woodworking, rank 7 in Tailoring, and rank 3 in Metalworking.
I also have the idea that I get more of certain races, well I only miss a handfull of green ones. But it was not in de corresponding zone. I think its merely the number of total recipes and just some RNG. (I have been farming mainly in the Hall of the Dead and Stormhaven).
Thanks for the numbers though - but I still don't believe it until they say so.
Even if your idea is true, I would not be sure Hew's bane is counted as an redguard zone - since you get very random thieving loot (and not the redguard/daggerfall loot!!). It seems to me the DLC zones dont have a corresponding Alliance/race tag. Best place for farming though in Hew's bane is urns in the nothern delve.PC-EU @lientier0 -

✭✭✭✭✭I've actually been writing down what I find, and in which zone I find it. It seems like there really is a higher chance of finding a specific race's furnishing blueprint in that specific race's zone, as the developers have said.
For example:
In Orsinium (an Orc area), the blueprints/recipes I found were:
9 Orc
4 Breton
3 Redguard
3 Argonian
3 Nord
2 Khajiit
1 Wood elf
1 High elf
1 Dark elf
And a whole bunch of random non-race items like baskets, pumpkins and candles.
In Hew's Bane (a Redguard area) I found:
5 Redguard
5 Breton
3 Orc
2 Argonian
2 Dark elf
2 Nord
1 Khajiit
1 High elf
And a whole bunch of random non-race items like baskets, pumpkins and candles.
Coldharbor seems to be completely, utterly random, which makes sense. By the way, I play a Breton, so I have NO IDEA if the high number of Breton items I found has anything to do with that, or if it was just random for my game. It looks like Redguard, Breton and Orc are the top three in each area because it's the Daggerfall Covenant, so there's that.

✭✭✭✭In Stormhaven Castle I think I've been getting disproportionately many Redguard and Orc recipes as well as Breton ones.
But then, King Emeric is high king over (parts of) all three of those races, and his queen is a Redguard.

Truthsnark✭✭✭✭I really would like a quote on where the developers stated that it would be race/zones related.. since I read the patch notes and read the dev tracker frequently...
