How much would it cost to collect all motifs?

I have around 10 million golds to spend. I already have the base race chapters and some cheap chapters(primal, daedric, etc.). I farm thieves guild and dark brotherhood motifs myself because they are easier to get. I also have a few dungeon motifs from the recent events. So how much would it cost to buy all others? I don’t need those expensive monster style pages. I can also wait a bit for the new moon hunter motifs prices to drop.

Many other motifs don’t seem to worth the time to grind. For example throughout my hundreds of hours of play time I never see a single drop of dwemer or mercenary motifs, but those seem inexpensive on guild stores. Also with the upcoming Morrowind events does it mean the Morrowind motif prices would drop?

    @myskyrim26
    Why April? Is there an event that increase drop rate for all motifs?

    Yes, in April we get special boxes for any daily quests. A lot of motifs flow to guildstores. Prices drop. Last year I completed my collection - I missed about a half of motifs. I had only 300k saved by the time of event. I sold my duplicates and bought missing pages.

    Theres around 50 styles @ 14 pages each, average price per page should be around 10k~20k.
    50 times 14 times 15000 ~> 10,5m gold should be enough. (Estimation might be a bit off, as there is some pages selling for up to 500k other selling below 1k)

    Dwemer motifs drop from dwemer containers in dwemer themed dungeons (volenfell is a good source, around 1 or 2 if u open all containers in there) Merc drops from undaunted chests, they made them "rare" a while ago after they had been a granted drop for ~2 years.
    Morrowind motifs just suck. ordinator is from ap vendor, those prices might drop a bit during double ap events. morag tong and asslander drop from the dailies (wb, delve, pick up and return) ~10% chance per box. telfunny redoran and hallolalu drop from yellow npcs when u blade of woe them after pickpocketing them twice (~5% chance), lockboxes (~0,1% chance) or from the prekill pickpocketing (~1% chance). Buyanarmchair motif drops from chest (~1% chance).
    morag and ashland might drop a bit during event.

    Most time and money efficient way is farm motifs untill the dupes u sell cover for the cost of the missing ones.

    All you have to do to complete dwemer motifs is check urns in dwemer ruins, and mercenary drops from the Undaunted key chests all the time.

    Motif pages that are harder to get tend to be more expensive. This avg 10-20k applied to all is not realistic.
    To spend around 10 millions only you need to be lucky and find a lot of bargains along the way. bargains or naive/uninformed players who don't really know the value/rarety of what they're selling - example: a fellow guildie of mine bought the imperial motif for 10k at a trader (lol).
    Example to make my point: how often do you see Bouyant Arminger listed on traders? How often do you see Welkynar listed on traders?

    This avg 10-20k applied to all is pure non-sense.

    The average price is even lower in April

    i have all style. you can do it three way.
    1. spending tousands on motifs to get them in the first weeks.
    2. farm it.
    3. or you wait and purchase them when they are already on low price.

    so in short.: its all about 'when you want them'.

    Best bargain I picked up was during Witchmother's festival. Motifs had just started dropping, I picked up Mazzatun chests at a wayshrine guild trader for 100gold. I took a screenshot :D

    I woudl estimate that 10mio wont cut it, not even close

    Only Akaviri, Cloudrest and Bouyant Arminger and Militant Ordinator combined are over 2-3mio since they are so annoing to get, or have a Fix Price at NPCs (PVP Styles)
    And we have more than 60 Styles in the game, Yes some of them you get for free, but others are pretty rare...Abahs Watch, Ancient Orc ect arent that comon, If you find them they arent that expensive but still pretty rare.

    IF I had to throw you a Number Id say 20-25mio for ALL Styles (Crwonstore excluded)
