in the 40 runs i have made of the place, I think i only encountered one.

I cannot give reproduction step as i do not have enough sample rate for anything

I do not know if it is intended for motes to be rare, or not discovered yet. Similarly I have run quite a sizeable amount of Rovgot ruin when farming new weapons and I only got 2 motes in total.

When farming them, I found they only appeared on the first dungeon run of a login and even then they sometimes took a bit to spawn. Not sure if time based or clearing all enemies. I'd do the dungeon then walk back through and kill anything that spawned if I didn't see 2 motes first time through.

Apparently you need to go through the ruins, kill everything, including the boss, then walk back to the starting room. The motes apparently have a delayed spawn, probably bugged but it might be a workaround in the meantime.

I will make sure to try that, ty!

+1. Only one mote in 20 runs. Location names are already RNG on where motes will spawn — there should not be another RNG layer on IF they will spawn. What is it with DE and these awful “engagement” design decisions?

I have managed to acquire all the motes, thanks to some advice people here gave me. I don't know what helped but here is what I did:

  • After initial 2 motes, it took me 2-5 runs per each mote that followed

  • I wore full pensive set

  • I ran through entire dungeon first, killed mobs and boss + looted chest - then I backtracked to the start

  • if no mote spawned -> I run out and in -> repeat

  • if mote spawned -> after picking it I would go to Nightfold and out, then reload the game (in hopes it does not backtrack progression) -> repeat the run if I seek more motes

  • I checked every path/corridor but all the motes that spawned for me were in the main/large chambers

I hope that can help few of you that may be hunting for the motes

This has to be bugged still

Wanna throw my observations here after completing the location today.

  1. I was wearing Pensives set, heard about that tip. Coincidence or not - I've started getting motes after running only in it, I've done about a dozen runs in Orengall's set before that - got only one mote while in a party, possibly a team mate was wearing Pensive...

  2. Relog between runs doesn't seem to matter. Was getting (and keeping!) motes without relog, just exiting through the entrance and hopping back.

  3. There must be a trigger for them, my guess - clearing THE room where they should spawn.

  4. Sometimes they spawn ONLY after you leaave the room, no matter how long you wait. Backtracking highly recommended.

  5. Killing the boss is not required, I wasn't killing it in my runs, I was turning back instead of engaging the boss.

  6. I was getting 2 motes per room each spawn. However it seems sometimes you get only one in the journal, sometimes two. I might be miscounting, but on the second mote claim per room pop up sometimes removes the previous one and re-adds. The last pair for me was showing on the pop up correctly and I've gotten two new records in the journal

All of these tactics are useless. The motes are just pure RNG. And seem to be 1/20 chance. ~40 runs and 2 motes. Used the pensive set, ran backwards, killed the worm, not killed the worm. Doesn’t make a difference. Boring and frustrating.
