I’m still hoping to find one of the rare motifs (Primal, Barbaric, Ancient Elf, Daedric, Imperial). I was ony level 5 when I found the most valuable one in an NPC house (unlocked trunk). I don’t Provision much, so I’ve sold them all off in the Guild Stores for good money. Most of the rare drops I’ve come across are valuable recipes - some worth thousands. It’s a numbers game with the added thrill of running afoul of the law. I think rare loot drops are still determined by chance, and the more you steal the better your odds of striking it rich. Realistically though, (and I suppose it makes sense), just because I’m a better thief doesn’t mean that barrels, NPCs, etc. You can craft better armor at a higher level, so why not steal better stuff? For the record, I think it should - it would be a real incentive for players to level. ESO even has an Achievement for it - Livestock Slaughterer, or something close (forgot to mention the Achievement in the article).įrom what I can tell, the level of loot doesn’t correspond directly to how high your Legerdemain level is. Now that it’s a crime, things have changed.
