Writ Drop Off Insanity

LogicalPhule

Some players, myself included, have characters with crafting skills far above their actual level. Personally I like having a character that can craft Veteran items, even though the character isn't a veteran yet.

So, I picked up a writ today, on my level 25 High Elf, (22 Enchanting) in Grahtwood, and complete it. So I go to try to turn it in, and cannot find the turn in spot anywhere! It turns out, that because my (and this is only my guess) the writ was for a Strong Glyph, that I had to turn the writ in, at Raw'Kha!

Why in the world, would the Dev's create a system, that makes you drop off a writ, that you get in one map area, and drop it off in a completely different map area?

If someone picks up a writ in Grahtwood, they should drop it off in Grahtwood. I just makes sense!

Technically you can sneak over there. Reaper's March is closer to the harder fight/closer to Cyrodiil. There is an unmarked tunnel that takes you from Grahtwood to Reaper's March for convenience.

Only put skills to use crafting mats for your level, then you will get writs and locations for your level

Drop off locations are set by crafting level, not character level, as you experienced. It may not make sense, but it is what it is. You must be new, as threads like this stopped some time ago. Do a search and you can learn more about how it works. You can look at the Reaper's March drop site as good or bad. The good is you can explore the new area, picking up skyshards and XP. There is also a chance of getting a survey, which means you'll have to go into uncharted territory. Just be careful, as you likely will be going up against much higher levels. If you have issues getting to the new zone, it can be done a few ways. Traveling to a guild member is likely the easiest.

I don't think the drop off locations always work to crafting level.

I certainly know that provisioning doesn't. As I've just been testing this out.

My provision has been on 50 for ages now and my character was on Level 40. He had to drop of the food in Alikr Desert. This was the case until I hit level 45 where I had to start dropping them off in craglorn along with the recipes changing level from level 40+ recipes to vet1 recipes too.

When they say "Provisioning Level" they are specifically referring to the Passive Perk "Recipe Improvement" which controls what level of recipe you can use and by corollary the writ delivery location. L1 delivers to the first region, L2 to the second Region etc until L5 where it delivers to Region 5/Coldharbour depending on character level.

Yeah. Like I say I was maxxed out on provisioner. All skills points in there too. It changed to cold harbour on my character level. Not anything to do with provisioner level.

So your character level does have a part to play in it.

See my post in another thread for an explanation of this. That particular post is about the alchemy writs dropoff locations, but it's the same logic for other crafts.
