Legendary Crate items 100 gems, but motifs are 200!

So, the 3 free Reapers Harvest Crates put me just over 100 gems yesterday and I was really excited because I saw that the Bouyant Armiger Motif was in the Legendary category and I have had a terrible time trying to farm this book (2 chapters since Morrowind launch...). Today I go to get it and...unlike the rest of the Legendary crate items the motifs are 200 gems each! This made me very very VERY sad.

If ZoS put the BA book for actual crowns I would probably buy it (and I generally follow the rule that if I can get it in-game I don't buy it on the store - budget and all that), but *cries* it is crates and now I can't even get it with my precious saved up gems:*(

    You were lucky to even get 100 gems in the free crates, the majority of players barely had 20

    I got 10 gems from the 3 free crates. You got a 100?! And you want to complain? Heh...

    That's the same price the motif books were last crown crate season.

    I don't think he got 100 gems from the free crates. Pay attention to his wording that the free crates "put me just over 100 gems" meaning he likely had gems already saved up and this was what finally put him over 100.

    in my opinion the BA motif should cost alot more gems ... like 600!!!

    its way too cheap!

    I would be fine with it if they actually gave double gem return too, but they only give 33 gems :(

    Well, that's annoying. Do they at least trade in for more than 33?

    stupid question. can you learn the golden book if you already know certain parts of the style? i thought a while ago, this wasn't possible.

    They do not, last season I got a motif and only received the normal 33, that really bothered me, should have been doubled as well...

    lol I didn't get 100 gems from just 3 crates, I got the Legendary Research Scroll thinger yesterday to trade in for 33 gems + the other random consumables to put me over 100. Just was a really unwelcome surprise that it cost double what other legendary rewards do (and I am shocked to hear they don't turn in for 66 gems!! that is even worse).

    It's back to "farming" treasure chests for me though...gah

    (I never looked at the price of the motif books last season as I knew all the pre-Morrowind motifs already - I am a season behind realizing this price difference. I still find it odd to have 2 price levels in the same Tier - I didn't see anything else that was different from the trend of gem pricing.)

    motifs don't seem to always show up in the ccrate menu. they come and go on mine and mostly they're gone.

    i wouldn't have even known they were supposed to be there, had i not read about it here. there are other motifs available, too, that i didn't know about.

    sent in bug report, hopefully this gets fixed, soon.

    i was considering buying the ba motif, but i'm a little leery of buying something that's here one minute and gone the next.
