I keep getting lower level Provisioning Writs

So I just started doing writs and I can't help but wonder why I keep getting VI rewards and 10k inspiration but for enchanting I get IX and 20k inspiration. I am level V10 and all skills in the Provisioning line are maxxed except for hireling. I am taking all writs from the board in Craglorn. Any ideas?

    Writs are based off of the crafting level passive that you have in that crafting line. Which means that if you were VR14, but hadn't leveled the provisioning passive up past 1/6, then you'd be getting provisioning writs for level 5-10 recipes.

    The alternative would be to give you write that you don't have the skills to complete.

    Don't feel bad, lol I can't complete the Provisioning I quest because it's asking me to make a piece of food I don't even have the recipe for.

    Thanks for your input but yeah, by maxxed provisioning skill line I meant that I do have every passive in Provisioning capped out (except for hireling). Could it be a bug perhaps?

    Sorry, must have missed that. Doesn't Provisioning cap at 6/6 though, unlike the other crafts which go up to 9/9?

    Oh I didn't know that although if it does, why am I still getting provisioning writs for VR5 foods and not VR10?

    Which piece do you need? *points to sig* It doesn't have to be your character who crafts it, it just has to be crafted (IOW, not looted out of a keg or off a plate).

    The best theory I've heard there is that they just didn't see the need to update it when they added the VR10 foods. *shrug*

    This news pleases me, I appreciate the info. The trouble I had was the 'bog-iron ale' I seen the finished product in a guild store, but I was under the assumption YOU had to make it. This is going to make me happy when I get off work and finish my first provisioning writ.

    This is why I usually sell small stacks of Clarified Syrah Wine, and Four-Eye Grog and a few other things. I remember when I had no one that could make them.

    Then I had a person agree to sell me a stack of 10 - didn't negotiate well and the person charged me several hundered for it. I paid (I'd said I would) but I don't want that to happen to anyone else.

He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.

    No, you need the item - a version that has been crafted by someone - doesn't have to be you. I collect recipies on one character first, and she is in charge of all the provisioning. So when someone who is doing the writs gets an order for say "carrot soup", Urgash gra Sharn sends a stack of 10 so that person will be good for a while.

    Make sure it is the Green Crafted item, not the White Dropped or Looted item that you buy. A number of the foods and drinks are available as common loot, they are white in text in the name. Those do not count towards Writs.

    Oh, and the odds are you will be asked to make the Clarified wine again, so buy a stack of 10 or 20 if they are cheap. By cheap, I mean about 3 to 5 gold each. More expensive than that, then buy one/few at at time until you find the recipe as a writ reward, which you will.
