Hey everyone, I’m playing on PS4 and really want to get the Imperial motif for my character’s armor style. I remember seeing it on Xbox guild traders years ago, but on PS4 it’s super rare and I never spot it in the guild traders here. I don’t want to play as an Imperial or buy it outright from the Crown Store. Does anyone know how I could obtain this motif in-game or any good tips for finding it without having to be an Imperial? Thanks in advance!

On the EU PS4 servers, there are still some Imperial motifs popping up occasionally in zones like Grahtwood. It’s worth checking guild traders there regularly as the stock changes all the time. Just gotta keep an eye out!
The Crown Store has the full Imperial motif book for around 5,000 crowns (sometimes it goes on sale for 3,000). So buying it is probably the easiest option, but if you want to avoid that, definitely keep checking guild traders. Prices can be high but sometimes people list it for cheaper. Random drops from barrels or crates are very rare, but they do happen, so checking in dungeons or Cyrodiil containers now and then might get you lucky.
I’ve checked guild traders in alliance capitals before and usually there’s at least one Imperial motif up for grabs, though prices start around 50k gold and can be pretty steep. Are you on EU or NA? Because availability can vary depending on server.
Honestly, besides buying or trading, there’s no guaranteed way to farm the Imperial motif. It can drop randomly from containers or barrels in certain locations, like Shroud Hearth Barrow or some parts of Cyrodiil, but it’s super rare. I found my copies as random drops after lots of grinding. If you want a similar look, some other motifs resemble Imperial and might be easier to farm or buy for cheaper.
I’m on EU servers, so that’s probably why it’s harder to find.
