Can anyone confirm that new furnishing plans are dropping from Infinite Archive? Patch notes say 28 new furnishing plans will drop from chests. I’m assuming all three qualities: green, blue, and purple. I opened 20-25 different chests, and did not receive any. So either pretty bad rng or maybe not dropping. Just don’t want to waste hours in there if they are not dropping. Thanks

You can buy them from traders, I think the drop rate for plans is good in the IA, so there will be more in the market in a while. Or you can ask a friend/guildie who has the recipe to make you the furnishing.

This is true. As much as I want to collect the plans as well, it’s good that they retain value. And as you said, you can still buy or trade for the crafted furnishing from others.
What I really wish ZOS would increase the droprate on is books from the Archive, Scrivener’s Hall, and Bastion Nymic! Since those items are bound, there is no possibility to buy them.

I can't say for Scriveners and Bastion book drop rate, but archives I have books coming out of my ears, I really don't need them any more frequently! My antiquarians gallery has piles of books all over the place plus I've stuffed a load in my storage house
Never have I seen so much resistance to playing the game for rewards when they finally add them.

They seemed frequent to me at first too, but now I can run three arcs without getting one. Plus there are several I would particularly like that have never dropped for me (and yes, the character running the Archive has read them), including Materials for Novice Necromancers. I wish they hadn’t tied the books to having read them and thus made them bind on pickup! It would be great if those such as yourself who get more than you want could sell them.

They do not drop from quest coffers. As the patch notes say, they drop from the chests. The chests after every boss or in side quest. We got one from the side quest coffer.

Ya. I got to the final boss of arc 3. So was at 3/5/2 and had not seen even a green plan. I estimated probably 22-25 chests, including side areas.
Probably should run it again. Guess I’m due. But two hours (solo), doing side crap and all, is a helluva time sink. What’s worse is that I already have everything else out of there, so not much else to get. *** I did get 2 of the new style pages, so that’s something. Unfortunately, character bound.

It’s mostly lock picks or low quality white gear but every 20 or so urns it’s something that contains two furnishings plans: an apocrypha furnishing plan and a furnishing plan from a random zone. (Oddly consistent)
(The urns start to lower in number after arc 1 though for some reason)
I may have gotten a purple at one time from an urn but not sure if I recall that correctly.
This is for anyone that might be having an issue finding greens/blues.

So far I have gotten 2 new apocrypha recepies.
One from the goblin during bossround and one from marauder. None from chests.

Re: Chests:
In IA, boss and Unknown Portal chests share the same loot table with GW the imp and marauders. So "chests" in the patch notes means all of the above. But, AFAIK and per reports in guilds, not urns/nightstands/etc (Some people skip those to avoid an old purple + cooldown)
Could anyone confirm: From what I've seen and heard, chances of blues and purples seem to increase with arcs. From Arc 5-6 in duos, we got blue and purple plans. Then I did just Arc 1 on a different toon and got 2 greens from Tho'at's chest. So is there no hope of getting blue/purple plans for anyone who can only do lower arcs?
And there seems to be a cooldown. I got to Arc 5 on two different runs today, but only the first round dropped any new plans. Zero the second time, hours later.
I've never gotten a gold since IA launched. There are no new IA gold drops in U41, but I assume the old gold bookcases only drop at even higher arcs.
