Gold Master Writ Rate Dropped?

Texecutioner187

I know ultimately this is RNG related, but has anyone else noticed the decrease in gold master writs coming from the daily crafting writs? A few guildies of mine have noticed the same thing so thought I'd check with the masses. Additionally for reference, I have all styles learned, all recipes, and all traits/materials/glyphs learned.

I had a lull in how many I got (only 1-2) for a couple days a few days back, but the last few days it seems to be back to "normal" where I get 3-5 gold master writs across my 36 characters a day.

I just chalked it up to RNG

I get way less than I use to, but I haven’t kept up with the endless waves of motifs. My assumption is that since I have a lower % of the motifs in game, I therefore have a lower chance at master writs than I once did.

My theory seems to be supported by alchemy and enchanting being my most common master writs to receive.

I could see that making sense typically... as new styles are coming out, I therefore have less chance of getting master writs because my overall "completion" percentage is declining. However, I still have all of the new ones recently released so not sure if that particular scenario would apply too much to me.

Agree, @Texecutioner187, I think you're saying the rate of master writs you're getting hasn't changed. Just the rate of gold master writs within the total master writs received.

That is just RNG being a cruel mistress at the moment ... hopefully it turns around for you soon.

I haven't gotten a master writ, purple OR gold in months.

In the last two years since I started writ-ing I've gotten maybe 3 golds. Most of my characters are max level in 2-3 crafts, and i share motifs around so they all have "some" but only a few are anywhere close to maxed or most-ed.
