Let's look at this recipe.

9 ochre. That's the new furnishing mat that drops from seams. I believe testers have noticed that the drop is very low, 1/3 or less than the other furnishing mats. So think Mundane Runes, just 10 times as rare.

2 Culanda Lacquer. That's the style mat you can only get by doing daily quests for a random chance of getting 1 of them. So think Bonemold Resin.

2 Zircon Plating. That's the purple upgrade mat, that only comes in 1/10th of a piece from refining. So think 10 Mastics, if there were only half or less wood nodes in the game.

Yeah I think you can just forget about my participation in this godawful stupid grind. As if getting the damn recipes wasn't hard enough as it is.

Every update you continue to make everything 10x harder to get than it already was.

But I'm sure they will be for sale in the crown store from day 1, only a thousand crowns each, right?

Updated the furnishing plan drop chances within Vvardenfell, Clockwork City, and Summerset. When you loot a furnishing plan in these areas, you are now much more likely to see furnishing plans directly associated with that area.

This is how it should have worked in the first place. I sincerely hope we will see recipes from CWC and Summerset more available for guild traders, and for more reasonable prices than the 500k+ that we have seen in the past.
Vvardenfell is less of an issue, now that we have the voucher documents, but CWC recipes are almost non-existant on PC-EU server, and the few that are for sale there are in the several hundred thousands per piece pricing.

Time will show just how much or how little the droprate has been changed, but I'm somewhat optimistic anyway.

Having documents for sale for blue and purple CWC recipes, just like Vvardenfell, would be a preferable alternative as well though

Still rather disappointed that we get one measly new recipe on the mastercrafter vendor. I mean, the summerset achievement furniture is nice (albeit extremely pricey), and the psijic furnishing recipes are nice, but we have been asking for so many new furnishings that are already in game as models, but not obtainable as furnishings yet, and many of these would fit nicely on the mastercrafter vendor as gold tier recipes, no least the Vvardenfell oven that people have been asking for for almost a year now. Seeing as the current provisioning station is laughably outdated and awkward to place in pretty much every home, why not give us an alternative with the oven. Or recipes for the bottled mushrooms from Vvardenfell, or the mammoth and bear effigies from Wrothgar.

Also, as I said in my post above this, I'm glad that you finally are adressing the lousy drop rate of DLC furnishing plans, it was needed a long time ago. But what about the Vvardenfell plants and fungi furnishings and paintings? These have an extremely low droprate, and only drop in this one zone. It's virtually impossible to gather the paintings and plants/fungi that you need for your homes yourself, and it's almost never for sale on the guild traders as well, solely due to how extremely low the droprates are. Couldn't you nudge up the droprate just a little on these furnishings as well? Seeing as there is no way to get them in any other way, outside the crown store.

Ayleid and Dwarven recipes are also extremely scarce. Once again, there are several of them not even for sale at any guild trader on PC-EU for weeks and weeks. I think looking into the droprate of these is justified.

RE: crafting stations as furnishings.

The new jewelrycrafting station looks great, I'm sure everyone agrees.

It also highlights just how outdated and poor looking the other crafting stations are. The Clockwork alternative stations we got a while back were nice, but also only suitable in the Clockwork environment.

The time for a more luxurious or higher-tier edition of the other crafting stations is sorely needed. Put them on the mastercrafter vendor, and charge more vouchers for them. With the rickety uneven wooden boards and low-res clutter, the vanilla crafting stations are getting progressively poorer and poorer to look at with every DLC that comes out.

The provisioning station aka campfire in your kitchen is especially gruesome, and I have seen lots of people try and cover it up with clutter and rocks or stones just to make it look like something else than a campfire.
When we have several models for grills, ovens and especially the Vvardenfell brass oven, why haven't you given us these as cosmetic alternatives to the hideous campfire cooking station?

Yes please... Also the requirement of 6+ dwemer frames for each furnishing is crazy considering the drop rate of dwemer scrap.

140 pieces of Dwemer Scrap to make a single wall sconce! Ridiculous!
