A Collection of Issues About Furniture Plans

Hello all, especially those of you at ZOS who can fix these issues. I created and shared an excel spreadsheet last year on the topic of compiling a full list of furniture plans and information about them (I have currently confirmed the existence of 1830 plans post-Scalebreaker, by the way). I have since updated it multiple times alongside game updates. I have attached the spreadsheet to this post for anyone that would like to use it. I put a lot of work into it, and added multiple helpful additional sheets (crafted furniture price sheet that, using excel formulas, auto-updates based on mat costs you set; a furniture plan sources/difficulty to acquire sheet; and a deep dive into guild trader name matches). That deep dive into name matches brought up a few issues beyond the few I had already noticed, and I'll present them all here.

Appear in guild trader name match search results, but I've yet to see any evidence of their existences outside of PTS server (Do these exist or not?)
Common Campfire, Outdoor (green, blueprint, lighting)
Witches Brazier, Primitive Log (blue, blueprint, lighting)
Witches Totem, Antler Charms (purple, blueprint, undercroft)

Items that change name once learned (plan name disagrees with crafted item name)
Murkmire Lamp, Shell (plan) vs Murkmire Candle, Standing Shell (item)
Hagraven Cauldron, Rough Stone (plan, old name) vs Hagraven Cauldron, Ritual (item, new name)
Orcish Figurine, Strength (plan, old name) vs Orcish Statue, Strength (item, new name)
Redguard Bench, Arc (plan, old name) vs Redguard Enclosure, Arc (item, new name)

Flipped plans (learning one allows you to craft the other)
Elsweyr Sarcophagus vs Elsweyr Sarcophagus Lid

Crafted from the wrong category at the station
Ayleid Brazier, Welkynd Holder is a courtyard item but listed at the station in the gallery category
Elsweyr Barstool, Elegant Wooden is a workshop item but listed at the station in the suite category
Elsweyr Barstool, Wooden is a workshop item but listed at the station in the suite category
Hagraven Cauldron, Ritual is a lighting item but listed at the station in the undercroft category
High Elf Basin, Standing is a suite item but listed at the station in the undercroft category
Hlaalu Bath Tub, Masterwork is a suite item but listed at the station in the undercroft category
Hlaalu Towels, Folded is a suite item but listed at the station in the miscellaneous category

Items that are crafted at entirely different stations than their plans would lead you to believe
Argonian Box, Woven is learned as a blueprint (woodworking), but is crafted at the clothing table, like a pattern
Breton Urn Lid, Striated is learned as a design (provisioning), but is crafted at the blacksmithing table, like a diagram
Rough Bag, Burlap is learned as a design (provisioning), but is crafted at the clothing table, like a pattern

Two unique items sharing an identical name
Breton Carpet, Bordered is a name shared by a green and a purple
Orcish Chair, Peaked is a name shared by a blue and a purple

That's all I've got for now. Thanks very much in advance to anyone at ZOS that replies to address this. In your reply, could you please be sure to comment about the 3 name match items for which I'm lacking evidence of their existences (first category above)?

Also, I have a suggestion if the 3 items with questionable existences don't exist. Since their plans are already in name match results and since 2 are related to Witches Festival, all 3 should be 2019 Plunder Skull drops.

    As a side note you category "Items that change name once learned (plan name disagrees with crafted item name)" they are aware of these errors as they were specifically mentioned in patch notes that the names were being corrected. However it was easier to correct them once learned than correct any currently unlearned plans in game.

    I posted the Scalebreaker update to my spreadsheet and added one item to my original post.

    .

    I find it curious that they fixed the Breton Carpet bordered in U25, but they chose to leave the orcish chair peaked with the blue and purple double naming. I have submitted these issues before in the past but most of them remain ignored. There are also several furnishing plans that although they have the right name, they use the wrong icon for the plan image. one of the ayelid blues I think is like that, and several of the sketches (some were fixed)

    This is so effing annoying. I have reported the orcish chair pattern three times now. You want to know what their response was? Here's the email verbatim:

    "Thank you for contacting The Elder Scrolls Online Team. Andrew here!

    I understand you're unhappy with the Orcish Chair crafting writ. If you're unhappy with a system that's working as intended, we'd encourage you to submit a feedback report for the development team. You can submit a bug report or feedback in the game for the development team to review by following the steps below:"

    According to ZOS, having a blue AND a purple pattern producing the same item is WORKING AS INTENDED! And even worse, you can get that worthless POS purple pattern from the writ voucher vendor. Which is why I have reported this problem repeatedly. In fact, every time i get the POS.

    I don't generally go online to vent about stupid crap in the game. I feel like it resolves just about nothing. But this is just beyond stupid. And the fact that they have KNOWN about this and still don't fix it? Then say "it's working as intended." WTF are they even thinking? It would be so nice if someone from ZOS would respond and try to justify this.

    Still waiting for someone from ZOS to come on here and explain how this is "working as intended."
