Oats

So, I know you have bigger fish to fry right now. Seriously, so many fish need frying right now it's amazing there's any cooking oil left. Anywhere.

However....we've also run out of Oats.

There is a purple recipe that requires Oats. I don't have any. No one in my guild has any. No one in my four trading guilds has any. No one in any of the zones I've been into has any. No crate, bag, sack, chest, barrel or corpse has any.

Please can you edit your drop tables to include Oats? Or change the recipe?!?!?!

I'm hungry.

Thank you.

    The "I/horses ate your oats" jokes would be funny, if there were actually any oats to eat.

    There aren't.

    So, not only are you not funny, you're lying.

    sorry, saw another thread about no spam in chat, couldn't help it. I'm so sorry :)
    "In 2014, a possible bot was sent to coldharbour by a military GM for a crime she didn't commit. This argonian promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Ebonheart underground. Today, still wanted by the developers she survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a bot problem, if no one else can bite you, and if you can find her....maybe you can hire The SQUISHY."

    I have 3 Oats in my inventory right now. Don't remember where I got them, might have been my hireling. The same place I got my 2 tomatoes which seem to be just as rare & are required for a purple recipe I have.

    I gotten a few blues, not many but a few. But seems I cant get anymore let alone anything above the blue. Im throwing away mats for foods because I lack the receipt for them.

    And I have level 50 in provisions and cant even really put my trade to use.

    I can confirm not a single oat being found by me nor found in crates, barrels, whatever, neither via hireling, for WEEKS now. I've got plenty of potatoes, garlic, paprika and other stuff that is needed to craft purple recipes. But there are just no tomatoes and no oats in game. This clearly is a loot table issue... one more of those countless litle things that make me think twice about my first sub charge in a couple of weeks. I am strongly tending to unsub.
  • mfischer303b14_ESO
    I have been getting Oats from my Provisioning Hirelings, got 10oats today. Total oats i have in stock is 38. Other than that, get very few oats in DC areas,

    Oats and tomatoes being the last straw.

    I agree with you, sadly.

    I couldn't give a *** about oats - that would not make me unsub. But, releasing a game that needs another 6 months of beta testing and development....that would make me unsub. Maybe, in six months, if I'm not playing something else, I might take a look at it.

    Or maybe (God I hope so) ZoS is doing something now to address the majority of these issues, and there'll be a decent-sized patch coming up in the not too distant future.

    This is incorrect information, I got both tomatoes and oats of crates (very rare) but also from my hireling (3/3). Looking at my cooking supplies, I got 12 tomatoes and 5 Oats. This are found on the level 40+ zone only btw, so start looting everything you see....

    Yea the blue food ingredients are rare.
    The purple-only ones like oats and tommatoes are insanely non-existant rare. Unreasonably so.

    re:lorail - Looted the whole zone. (Eastmarch/Rift) - you way wanna mention you alliance, as there are differences in food loot tables between them. For me - EP, they simply don't exist in the game.

    Though i've looked up the purple meats recipes, and they seem to use salt and pepper, which is common enough. Just gota find a purple meats recipe. (and shouldnt matter since purps are all 3 stats).

    AD, but I don't understand the complaint, this things are suppose to be very rare, but people want to have a ton to make hundreds of items? That's not what very rare means....

    *LOL good post A...its been brought up many times in the last couple weeks. I know there is a big ole' fish fry goin on but agree with you Altissimus. WE NEED OATS! ^_^

    Mayhaps we need to 'grow' some crops and literally harvest some. Get yer' steel saved up, hunt down some of the Dw. machine plans to make a grinder and then we can set up an assembly line in Cyrodil with hired mercs/guards blocking off our work area, get the stalks ground down, bag it up and SELL IT ON A GUILD STORE thereby finally having access to oats.

    The recipe is rare..not oats. Oats are just a common white rarity item. It should be harder to get the recipe not finding something that should be common. It makes no logical sense that oats would be rare. I can understand some ingredients being more rare than others but to level to VR1 and check every damn container you come across and not find a single oat is beyond silly.

    Hi all,

    We can confirm that oats and tomatoes are indeed in the game and working as intended. We double checked when we started seeing threads like this, just to be sure.

    Here's a little info, to help you:
    • Currently, you will never find oats or tomatoes out in the world. This is working as intended.
    • Both oats and tomatoes are only available from Provisioner Hireling boxes. They are rare by design.
    • They're only available if you have the Provisioner Hireling passive skill to Rank 2 or greater.

    This isn't true. We have found oats and tomatoes in the world in barrels. Not with the passives.

    Why are those items supposed to be rare when making veteran rank 5 purple food requires more common food items?
