Oops...There goes the AE motif..

I had an ancient elf motif and it would not let me use it. Was telling me "already known or increase smithing to level 8 or above or clothing to level 8 or above..etc"

Weird...because I did not learn the motif and my smithing and clothing is well above level 8. However...I did acquire the purchase through my alt account (the gold from my main was in the bank) which was a level 3 in a different alliance. Perhaps the motif bugged out when i put it in bank for my main to use and was still thinking I was my lvl 3 alt with lvl 1 crafting skills lol.

Now..I went to link this motif in chat and i accidentally clicked destroy. Instead of asking me if I'm sure I want to destroy it (like it does with all arcane+ items) it destroyed the item.

ROFL. OKay don't laugh. It is funny but I paid an absurd amount for that motif (35k).

Has anyone experienced either of the the above two mentioned things?

I made a ticket so hopefully ZMO can grant my motif back!

    Yes dear. I know what a motif is. And when crafting you have abilities that increase the level of what you can craft. For clothier/blacksmithing/woodworking - there are 9 such ranks of said ability. You use a skill point for each rank. Unless you have used 8 such skill points in one if the above skill chains.... You can't learn ancient elf.

    Sorry, my apologies. I thought it said level lol. Totally makes sense now.
    I had no idea motifs also took into account your rank.

    The Destroy option needs to be moved to the very last option on the list...
    I'm so sorry that happened to you. :(

    It could have been a left over duped version of the Motif, which could have been actually useless, which is why I avoid buying motifs since they're still floating around. Zenimax stopped the duping but a few of the dupes motifs are around still and people scam with them.

    Ancient Elf and Barbaric go for 25K-40K, if you got it cheaper, you got a steal but he did not nearly get "ripped off".

    If you sold it for less then you were being generous or just dont know how much they go for.

    Oh yea and the "I have 35k to buy a motif I know what I am doing" when you were CLEARLY wrong and didn't know. That was an *** statement also so yea you were being a MAD BADDIE.

    Really you still ask this question after someone clearly mapped it out for you. I'm leaving this thread as we are outright speaking to a troll or someone who only wants to speak with a dev. If you ask a question on the forum you get answer from people reading the forums if you don't want to believe any of that info then I suggest you put in a ticket and hope for the best. Good day sir

Then when the almighty I HAVE 35k I AM KING KNOW IT ALL found out what was really going on you felt like an ass so you got mad at they guy letting you know how much of an ass you were being.

    It is ok and btw REPORT AWAY. See if it does anything to increase your I know it all attitude. Glad I could point out how much of an ass you werte being to people trying to help you out. And you proved my point by being an ass about that. GG

    Lol. Do not take reports lightly. They will suspend for some of the things you've said above. You will then have to appeal and by the time you get a response...your suspension is over.

    Yes, I'm speaking from experience. So... continue and I will report you :)
    Man I'm TELLING YOU REPORT AWAY. Also let them know how experienced you are. Maybe that will get me banned for life.
