    I have a stealing route that includes lock boxes and lots of vvardenfell npcs. Trying to get the achievement that requires selling 1mil to the fence. I pick until I get 140 items higher than white on a daily basis. I get at least 1 a day. Sometimes 2. The drop rate is pretty solid. Also, if you hang around in vvardenfell for more than 10 minutes you will see people selling tons of them in zone chat for 15k each. Now the drop rates for BA motifs, vvardenfell furnishings, and the shivering cheese are another story. I've only picked 2 paintings, one cheese, zero BA motifs, and 2 purple furnishing diagrams since the dlc dropped last year.

    BA drops from treasure chests not NPCs as far as i know. Picks/safebox motifs are Hlaalu, Redoran, and Telvanni. On another note, i dont think it matters what "house" you pick. I have gotten Telvanni motifs off Redoran soldiers( literally had Redoran in the name) more than once.

    I do think only certain NPCs drop motifs, not based on "class". I have farmed some NPCs and went a few hundred picks without ever getting a motif and others i get one about every 30-60 picks, and then there are some in between. I dont think all NPCs have the motifs in their loot tables.

    I got a Telvanni legs motif off of the female NPC (last name Hlaalu I believe) in Balmora. That was the only motif I picked - had to buy the rest.

    Yeah, I got a non-Telvanni motif (don't remember which one) from a Telvanni noble. Any NPC can drop any of the three as far as I've seen.

    I guess the loot tables explain it (them having or not the motif in their tables having nothing to do with the actual house).
    Because I'm not kidding, my main spot ONLY drops Hlaalu.

    I am finding this to be true. I am farming a certain NPC and he only drops Redoran.

    Not sure exactly but on NA-PC they are selling for somewhere between 10k and 15k on a given day. Don't have the ability to check around at the moment.

    I agree with the other Pink, Balmora is a great spot. I got all the telvanni motifs and most of the other two in about two-three weeks picking a few hours a day. I skimmed over the last couple comments so I'm not sure if anyone mentioned this: any NPC in Vvardenfell that gives you a 100% pick over and over like drunkards, beggars and some of the outlaws, DON'T pick, pick, stab. Pick them until they are empty, then stab. I have come to find that not only do you have a bit more of a chance to get a motif, you can get raw and, occasionally, refined mats. I have picked some of those pockets up to 6 times before they go empty. They will drop off the other NPC's, too, but it seems like not as often.
    Hope this helps and happy pillaging!

    I feel this way about Ashlander. I do ok on the pickpocket motifs but I feel like the drop rate on Ashlander has been nerfed. I went ailing getting them regularly enough and have about 4 lefrt. Now nothing. Going to have to buy them I guess.

    The best way to get Ashlander motifs in my experience is to do the daily quests at Ald'ruhn. Both of the quest givers have a chance of giving you Ashlander motifs, and I've almost completed my set.

    Do you only get house motifs only off of dark elf NPCs, or do they drop from all NPCs in the area? The motifs that I've gotten were from dark elves, so I was wondering if I should even waste my time with the other NPCs like argonian slaves and breton fishermen.

    Race doesn't matter, just location.

    Legerdemain, Khajiit or Woodelf, Nightmother/Night Terror sets, pickpocketing, sneak and cloak.

    Every npc in Morrowind has a chance to drop a page, even beggars, no need to kill them just pickpocket them.
