Containers such as desks, barrels, sacks, etc... are instanced per player. No one is taking anything away from another player by farming containers for motifs and provisioning ingredients.
There goes the economy selling motifs may look like cosmetic but people farm them then sell them on and buy other stuff way to go you may have just ruined your game, the question we must ask ours self
This whole debate is nothing personal. I'm not a dedicated Crafter, and no matter how long the Glass Motif would be in game without be in the Crown Store, it would change nothing for my selfish little
Yes i got them from the boss from the dungeon quest, the one in the same room as the crippled guy connected to the machine. But like all the other motifs it probably drops from all bosses and mobs <img class="emoji" src="https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/resources/emoji/smile.png" title=":)" alt=":)" height="20" />
I am not sure how long I went before I used some Crowns to buy this. But, at the time I figured I would need 2 years of game time to get all the chapters of the motif. So, I just bought the darn thing
Actually the stones are the issue. There is NO WAY IN GAME to farm the style material used to make these. The Halloween motif came with 54 mimic stones at a cost of 200 crowns more.
