Is it possible to complete Ember's achievement?

Specifically, launder an epic quality item. How can I FIND an epic quality item to steal? I've tried multiple zones, pickpocketing, safe boxes from private homes and businesses, all kinds of containers, but NO purple quality items, gold antiquity leads are actually way more common. Oh, except Zenithar's loot pouch which is not possible to launder!
Can anyone point me in the right direction if you've had luck getting that part of the achievement done? Everything else for Ember's favor is checked except that. Do I just have bad luck? Help!

✭✭✭✭✭Pickpocket in Vvardenfell. 3 motifs drop from pickpocketing in the zone. It'll likely take you less than 30 picks to get it.Tenacious Dreamer - Hurricane Herald - Godslayer - Dawnbringer - Gryphon Heart - Tick Tock Tormenter - Immortal Redeemer - Dro-m'Athra DestroyerThe Unchained - Oathsworn - Bedlam's Disciple - Temporal Tempest - Curator's Champion - Fist of Tava - Invader's Bane - Land, Air, and Sea Supremacy - Zero Regrets - Battlespire's Best - Bastion Breaker - Ardent Bibliophile - Subterranean Smasher - Bane of Thorns - True Genius - In Defiance of Death - No Rest for the Wicked - Nature's Wrath - Undying Endurance - Relentless Raider - Depths Defier - Apex Predator - Pure Lunacy - Mountain God - Leave No Bone Unbroken - CoS/RoM/BF/FH Challenger65,385 achievement points3 -
Monops✭✭Purple stolen items show up very rarely when picking pockets or looting owned containers. In my experience, your best bet for completing the achievement is picking pockets in Vvardenfell; a couple rounds around the Vivec City crafting area will usually score a Hlaalu, Redoran, or Telvanni motif (usually off the third pick/Blade of Woe). These count as Epic for the purpose of Ember’s achievement. Note that the achievement specifies “Fence”; for me at least, laundering the motif didn’t complete the achievement, but acquiring another one and selling it to the fence did. If you don’t already know the motif though, I can imagine that might be hard pill to swallow.1 -

Thanks for pointing out it's for fencing and not laundering. I must have gotten it mixed up when I looked at the achievement.~~ Lady Gamer ~~ ♥ ~~ Xbox NA ~~0 -

✭✭My tip is to pickpocket. Certain kinds of NPC may drop specific items and what you should look for is this: https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Online:Gaming_Die, which drops from these people https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Category:Online-Pickpocketable_NPCs-Drunkard
You can also search containers for Daedric, Barbaric, Primal or Ancient Elf motif books or pickpocket or loot safeboxes in Vvardenfell for a chance to get Hlaalu, Telvanni and Redoran motif pages.

✭I find the Telvanni mages are particularly good for motifs and you get the added satisfaction of murdering slaver scum as you go. The motifs they drop also sell for decent values once laundered

The only problem is that you have to sell the purple item to the fence for the achievement not launder. I pickpocketed a purple design and decided to launder it rather than sell it. This did not unlock the achievement. I'd probably still launder the Telvanni motifs anyway as the sell for a decent price as you said.0 -
ZOS_HadeostrymodGreetings,
After further review we have decided to move this thread to a category we think is more appropriate for this topic.
Thank you for your understanding.0 -

ellmarie✭✭✭✭I'm trying this achievement now. Does a gold item count as a higher item, or does it specifically have to be purple?
Edit: Nm, I tried, and it didn't count. Not finding many people to pick pocket in Vvardenfell for some reason! Like everyone is gone. Mostly only guards around. Vivec City and Tel Aruhn. Is it because I'm done with the quests?Edited by ellmarie on August 16, 2022 2:46PMXbox X- NA0 -

you could just steal any ordinary gear item and upgrade it to purple and then fence it, upgrading it does not remove the "stolen" tag
i personally was looting lockboxes to find a purple item, but that was more luck basedplays PC/NA

Hey. Sorry to dig this thread up. I stole purple motifs in Vvardenfell and sell them to the fence but it did not unlock the achievement... did someone get the achievement by selling purple motifs? Thanks0

it should work with any purple item as long as you use the "sell" and not the "launder" option, as well as making sure you actually have ember summoned when performing thisplays PC/NA
