I have multiple characters and so many writs... ;_;

I seldom have the recipes or reagents or runes to finish those writs without a concerted effort though I can do the equipment ones fast enough.

@Asherons_Call

There are only 3 food types and 3 drinks.

This means you can have the single character have points spent in the multiple-per-craft skill. and use him to supply all your toons.

Make up a batch of each and put em on the characters (10 or 20 of each food on each character) It takes 5 mins to make em all.

I say this because the time to log into the inn in Craglorn pissed me off, far quicker to just have them made.

PS, you need to have skills to 50 and points spent in the skill to allow the character to make vr10 foods (obviously)

PPS Asheron's Call is the best MMORPG ever made, ever

Thanks for the tip Tors! I thought the food had to be crafted on the spot like they make you do with other writ items. My problem is that I don't have all of the food writ items memorized so not sure on what to stockpile. Is there a chart somewhere that shows each tier of provisioning writs?

And yes, AC was and still is the best MMORPG ever made, even at 16 years old. They did everything right. I loved their monthly updates with added quests, lore, items, mobs, etc etc etc. they never missed a patch in all of those years! I used to be a regular on Maggie the jackcat's website to learn about the new stuff. The greatest thing in my opinion was the lack of quest markers and arrows pointing you to your next quest. No hand holding, no dumbed down content.

I have all the food and drink needed in the bank for my 8 characters. Same for potions, though I often skip alchemy for characters who have a higher prov writ level than alchemy. I can do all these writs in 15-30 minutes, which also includes putting stuff back in bank, having the correct alt hold mats, and horse leveling for 7 alts.

What takes a lot of time is the gear writs that I do with one alt. I usually have my main scavenge mats in Craglorn, especially wood. I might only do these for another week since my alt is almost at 50 in the 3 gear skill lines and I'm getting tired of writs. My goal was to use my main for crafting gear and the alt for improving. Now that I can do that, it is time to maybe spend more time doing more interesting things.

Some days I just do prov writs for 3 vet characters, which takes a few minutes, most of which is loading screens. Add a minute per character if I decide to deposit mats in the bank.

Depends on the writ, Provisioning may be impossible or simple depends on if you HAVE the recipe , Alchemy is tough on some days especially if I run out of the "extra" ingredients and they refuse to spawn enchanting is the one place where you can buy what you may need.

Buy it at a guild store. Someone will have it on sale.

If you do writs on multiple characters, you will end up with many copies of all the green recipes. Every day I post a few for sale. I also sell all my blues and purples unless my main and my provisioner alt need them. Writs will have you swimming in recipes. You will also never lack provisioning mats with that and maybe a few hirelings.

Probably less than a minute, for provisioning at least.

Ch4mpTW

5-15 minutes

I always keep a bunch of materials (raw and otherwise) in my bank. Therefore whenever I need them, I have them. The same applies with provisioning ingredients and or beverages/food as well.

CidxLucy

I just pick up the quests and 80% of the time they are done once I pick up the quest.
Its basely the same items over and over.

SedoUmbra

5-15 minutes

It depends. Because I have an RP thing going with my friends I do all of the Woodworking, Blacksmithing and Provisioning Writs. Still haven't finished a single Provisioning Writ (level 46) but Woodworking and Blacksmithing take 10 minutes at the most. Sometimes their down in about 2.

MmmmTofu

5-15 minutes

I only do alchemy, simply because the ironing and wooding gives no goodies.

Thank you. Btw, is there a way to search in the guild store. I can't seem to do it.

Thank you. I do have provision maxed out so I do have the hirelings.

Nebthet78

45-60 minutes

I have 8 characters and I do the provisioning writs for each one and alchemy for a couple.

The stealing in between and training my horse slows me down a bit.

Love_Chunks

I have multiple characters and so many writs... ;_;

Doing writs also consist of inventory management for me. Gotta store all that crap on the right mules, grab surveys, sell stuff etc.

I do the same thing. All my alts are stocked up on food drinks and runes needed to complete writs. I keep makko oko and kura runes in the bank and deni denima rede and ta runes on each alt. That way all I have to do is craft a glyph and turn in both writs. I havent done alchemy writs in a long time. Wondering if I should even be bothered with them...

Hineni17

1 hour+

I put 1 Hour plus since I'm level 28 and have NEVER finished the very first provisioning writ I pulled. I've checked every guild trader I come across every day trying to find the Carrot Soup reciped and only found it once for 110K.

Not having a place to purchase recipes from is idiotic. Why are there not white level ones used for those beginning writs?

Dekkameron

15-30 minutes

8 characters just doing prov writs, about 20 minutes. It depends whether the chars already have the specific food on them.
(this also includes feeding their mounts)

Tors

30-45 minutes

Inventory management, there's not actually that much you need to keep in your bank. Depending on how you do the dailys.

Bank

• Small Game
• Saltrice
• Apples
• Cheese
• Carrots
• Surilie Grapes
• Lemon
• Jasmine
• Honey
• Ginkgo

Or make up the following and have them on the character

Pickled Carrot Slurry
Argonian Saddle-Cured Rabbit
Fresh Apples and Eidar Cheese
Sipping Imga Tonic
Khenarthi's Wings Chai
Arenthian Brandy

Bank

• Oko
• Makko
• Deni
• Kura
• Ta

(or make up a number of stamina/health and magica armour glyphs)

Bank

• Bugloss
• Lady's Smock
• Mountain Flower
• Dragonthorn
• Blue Entoloma
• luminous Russula
• Stinkhorn
• Emitic Russula

or make up a number of Panacea of Magica/Stamina/Heatlh/Ravage Health

• Void Steel
• Void Cloth
• Shadowhide
• Night Wood

On top of all this you need the following in your inventory

Nirnroot
Cloudmist
Ta
Denima



Dont try to make the armour etc in advance, you do not have enough room for this.

Valn

Daily provisioning takes me about 10 seconds because I already have a crap load of items already made from previous writs :P

My provisioning writ completion is instant because I keep the made goods in my bags.

Provisioning, alchemy and enchant is a cake walk. Very seldome ever need to craft for these. Just run to deliver. Blacksmith, wood and clothing on the other hand is a pain. Using almost a whole stack of mats everday for these is insane. I mean seriously, craft nine items? For what? To get a crappy white weapon back and a tiny chance to get a survey that never yields anything. It doesn't take long to clean out 1000 ore, wood or cloth with these. They need to reduce this down to maybe two or three items. Don't understand why provisioning, alchemy and enchanting have it so easy.

Rev Rielle

5-15 minutes

I complete Alchemy and Clothier writs (one character), which are arguably the easiest to do.
So it's not very long at all.

You must use a microwave to do the provisioning writs lol.

No, my provisioning and alchemy writs take about 45 seconds each, per day. The exception are days when I don't actually have the food or potions ready, that takes a little longer, maybe two minutes tops.

Excluding days when I'm out of resources (like, this morning) finishing off all the writs takes about 10 minutes for my entire account.

Why cant i ever find the recipes it wants? My prov is fifty, i have a bank full of mats, tons of recipes... All useless

Eas007

Is that with or without loading screen time ☺

Ayantir

5-15 minutes

Belkarth Wayshrine
Belkarth panel (3 quests) : 15sec
E E E E E E E E E E E E : 5 seconds
Belkarth enchanting : 15 seconds, it's the house next door
Quests still showing me what i must do : read enchanting missong : making glyph, 5sec (already selected ta and kura)
Note in my memory which rune and if reageant or solvant
Always have few crafted alchemits pots, if I need to do one.. just go : 20sec
Go to bank : 30sec
Grab mats from my bank for alchemy and enchanting : 20s
Press J, look at cooking needs : 10sec
Grab from guild bank 30sec

Go back and did quests : ~ 3 min

Longest part is to collect nodes if I have a treasure map. and load guild bank, this one .. *bip*

Moonshadow66

I have multiple characters and so many writs... ;_;

Everytime another one of my characters hits VR14, I park them in Craglorn for doing writs (I'm a single player and this IS my endgame..). It's now 5 characters, and when I also get several surveys from writs, it takes even longer to finish that for the day until I can start to "actually play" with another character that I want to level. One of these 5 is also refining materials and does equipment writs additional to the consumables writs (the other 4 only do consumables), so yeah, it takes a while

DigitalShibby

5-15 minutes

I do three writs per day, completing them all takes about 5 min or less.

Shimmer

I didnt vote because there wasnt any options for less than 5 minutes. It takes me like 1 minute to do them.

Leggi

15-30 minutes

8 toons, 7 vets, do prov writs only.

There 3 types of food and drink required, so i do at once 50 for each toon and it takes me more time relogging than obtaining the reward.
