Has anyone been able to check if the Ancestral Reach Motif bug has been fixed since the latest Patch? It wasn't mentioned in the Patch Notes, so I have my doubts.
For those not in the know: the Ancestral Reach Motif, introduced in the Markarth DLC, drops from the wrong source.
According to the in-game Achievements for Markarth, the Ancestral Reach Motif pages are SUPPOSED to drop as leads "occasionally found when digging for Antiquities" as bonus loot.
Instead, you can only find Ancestral Reach Motif page leads as rare drops from Treasure Map Chests found in Western Skyrim, The Reach, or any part of Blackreach currently available. (To expand on their rarity, I had 18 Treasure Maps for those locations, and came away with 3 Ancestral Reach page leads).
So either the drop locations for the Motif are completely incorrect, or the information for the Achievement/Source of the Motif is completely incorrect.
