If you like Alts, you never need Racial Motifs

Anyone else like me I mean, I have an Imperial Templar, Nord Dragonknight, Dark Elf Sorcerer and High Elf Nightblade. They all make their own armor. Why would I ever need a racial motif? My Imperial does gathering and my three alts do all the crafting. Even if my Nord makes Nord armor, he cans end it to my Imperial who can then change it to Imperial style.

This all made me think, are racial motifs that valuable, and if so why? I mean, unless you want to do all of your crafting on one character? Does anyone do that? Is it easier that way?

    Well...yeah, unless you want to level each craft half a dozen times.

    For you, you may not need or want the styles. But then, several of the styles are not race based - there are others like the Barbarian/Reach or Primal or Daedric sets that require the motif to be able to make them. And those will be valuable given their relative scarcity.

    yea the main thing here is you'd have to lvl blacksmithing/clothing/woodworking on every character in order to make this work for lvl 16+ gear. unless you just want to do that anyway, getting your hands on the motifs is MUCH more time efficient and cheap in the long run.

    1) There is no Playable Deadric race. Your system won't allow you to craft Daedric armor.

    2) You would need to level up the crafting skills of ALL those alts...good luck with that.

    What you are proposing only works if all you want are the very lowest level armor pieces from each race. For most players this is not terribly desirable.
