Is 200g a good price for a crafting motif book?

If you mean the blues, then yeah, that's more or less what they go for. The purples are another story. (The gold Imperial motif means you're struck actual gold, unless you want to keep it for yourself.)

Anyways, I decided to spend most of the Crafting Monkey's gold to buy Style stones. That the base motif stones aren't being sold is worrying, not only because I use them for writs, but because it looks like furniture crafting will use a lot of them and they might become more expensive down the road.

Then again, most of that gold went to buying Stalhrim because I'm a dirty consumerist and bought the Frostcaster motif at the last second. ~5.5k for a single piece of Stalhrim right now (well, the price tends to be 6k, but I always go for a little lower). At least I'm not paying real money for Mimic Stones? The Crafting Monkey's gold comes entirely from writs and material sales, and this is exactly what it's meant for anyways. I just need to find a good supply of Goldscale and I'll be set. Dunno if I want to spare my Lion Fangs should Master Writs ask for that style, though.

Other than that, I'm holding onto my tempers, too, and I guess I'll have to stop offering improvement up to blue for free should anyone ask for crafted gear.

I'll need EVERYTHING ready once housing comes.

OK, whew. I don't like to pay 15 gold each at the NPC merchant, but I'm glad there's still that option if adventuring and thievery can't keep the motif rock box full.

I think that until Homestead shakes out there will be a heightened level of hoarding.

Being that Khajiit didn't know about the guild stores being for everyone, he had always bought the ones for 15g from NPCs. Silly Khajiit!


So when is the next festival? Spring?

You can usually find them in Dwemer ruins and backpacks. Let no container go unopened, lol.

Khajiit has been meaning to take Mira into the Inner Sea Armature. Where do you get the metal for dwarven level gear? You get it from Dwemer constructs, right?

Yes, and most def visit the Inner Sea Armiture - and often. You may get overloaded with lockpicks, but you will also get a bunch of the Dwarven gear for crafting, racial motifs, rare motifs like Daedric/Dwemer/etc, - Recipes; and tons of racial stones, gold, food for crafting or sale, and plenty of items good for using for researching traits if you do that (or just using if you use the throwaway drop items for certain characters).

I make a trip to the Inner Sea Armiture once daily for stocking up on supplies; but mostly for the rare motifs and recipes.

Is it a difficult dungeon?

Well, it used to be a starter dungeon, but since One Tamriel everything is scaled to your character.

*gulp*

It's just a delve, you'll be fine.

Oh good!

There is a skyshard in there (lure, lure). Also, if you are in the Mages Guild for Ebonheart = a quest.

Good to know! Though Mira isn't really a MG sort, lol

No, but they have an Awesome ultimate! A comet soars out of the sky onto your enemy's head - shakes the whole area's ground and stuns all the mob near the boss that got hit = AWESOME !!!

EPIC!!!!

The Inner Sea Armature was a decent source of Dwemer Motifs in the Pact back when I was searching for them.

Know what Khajiit is not liking? Treasure Maps! They are so vague! At least give us a named location to start at! Come on!

Well hopefully it still is! We only have the Maces chapter and this one would like a few more for when Mira and/or Feng gets to a high enough level in their respective crafts.
