I got mine from several spots across Skyrim and Blackreach, I tend to check EVERY container anywhere. Be aware that despite the public dungeon in Blackreach has a huge amount of containers, there's a cap on how many containers you can loot: if you collect everything at some points ALL the containers will appear with the empty status.

Harrowstorms, stealing, public dungeons, delves, every chest, box, barrel, bag, basket since release and I've gotten 1 blue vamp recipe and a plethora of low level can buy at vendor green recipes. I've never seen anything like it.

That feeling when you see a purple out of the corner of your eye, excitedly check you inventory only to find it's ANOTHER $1200 gold Dwemer motif

Or the blue document pouch from a Harrowstorm, only to find it's another pardon edict

I'd rather get nothing than to get the dumb green and white recipes/plans over and over and over and over again.

This is not about spots, the furniture drops from this zone seem incredibly broken to me too - and we are talking event time, with furniture drops potentials in the dailies ( great move that) - but why aren't there ANY vampiric furniture plans from those same dailies? What's wrong with that style? It was rare before all this now it feels.. non-existent. Is this intentional? If so why even bother to wave the whole style before the players eyes ? It is not fun to constantly farm, with such drop rates it becomes frustrating to even try. Please fix this, because it literally feels... broken. Also why are we getting every other zone recipes in a dlc zone? Shouldn't the rate of recipes belonging to that zone be higher than the rest? This feels very bad thought about and no I am not happy getting every other base game green recipe, when I know I would jump with joy for the simplest green belonging to this dlc. Unfair, time wasting, and overall a killer for the housing/crafting enthusiasts.

It's hard to get specific recipe because we have now 200+ Solitude furnitures and couple dozens of vampiric. This year ZOS made really a lot of new stuff which is good, but also it's collectioners hell (if they really want to have them all) or paradise (when collecting is more important than having them all ). I think that in Markarath DLC it will be easier to obtain more recipes, because in patch notes was information about better chance to drop Solitude and new recpies than base game ones.

It's also not so bad now, especially with event. There are tones of cheap recipes in guild stores, I already have 100+ Solitudes and I'm not hardcore farmer. (only half-hardcore )
