Crafting Writs guide - High level

mrvbalc

Hey guys,
I am seeing a lots of people in game started doing crafting writs since its a very good source for Glass motif fragment and other high end mats like tempering alloy, Kuta, etc., And some people think its so complicated and giving up as soon as they tried one or two writs because of required mats or crafting equipment. This is simplified guide for all crafting writs in high-level, Hope it helps
Consumable crafting writs
Alchemy (Solvent proficiency passive should be 6/8 or more): For Alchemy crafting writs you will be asked to craft one potion and have 3X ingredients. For potions you need to craft Pancea of Health or Magicka or Stamina or ravage health potion. you can either craft these or take one from your bank. SO its advised to craft all this potions in bulk and stock up your bank so daily you can take one and finish your writs. You don't even have to craft these pots every day in all your toons. As far as the ingredients concerned you will be asked only these two, Nirnroot and Cloudmist. You can buy this in guild stores in bulk amount and keep in your bank.

Enchanting (Potency improvement should 9/10 or more): Its also similar to alchemy writs. You will be asked to craft one glyph and one rune to finish writ. Glyph will be monumental glyph of stamina (Kura. Deni. Ta) or Health (Kura. Oko, Ta) or Magicka (Kura, Makko, Ta). For this part you have to craft the glyph with the toon you are doing writ. And for the rune you will be asked to submit one of the following rune: Ta, Rede, Kude, Denima. So you need to stock up Kura, Ta, Deni, Makko, Oko, Rede, Kude, Denima for enchanting writs

Provisioning (Recipe improvement should be 6/6): For this you will be asked one food and one drink each day. For food you need to stock up Pickled Carrot slurry, Fresh apples and eidar cheese, Argonian saddle-cured rabbit. For drink you need to stock up Sipping igma tonic, Arenthian Brandy, Khenerthi Wing's chai. Similar to Alchemy writs you don't have to craft these everyday in all your toons, You craft these food and drink in bulk amount and stock up and take one of each required food and drink and complete your writ

Equipment writs
For all three equipment writs you should have metalworking, tailoring and woodworking passive should be 9/10 or above
You will be asked to craft random items in each type. And for this you need to craft with each toon you are doing the writ. SO better stock your bank with Voidstone ingots, Voidcloth, shadowhide, and Refine nightwood.

Nice Guide, couple of additions/clarifications:

Writs are not really random, but more like 3 combos that repeat. For example with Blacksmithing, 5 Daggers, 2 Helms and 2 Shoulders or 2 Great Swords, 2 Chest 1 Greave etc. With Provisioning if I am asked to make something, I make a dozen or more and then I soon rarely have to go to the cooking fire. I have made multiples of the 3 Enchanting Glyphs too and used them as I got Writs.

L6 only alchemy writs will only ask for Nirnroot or Cloud Mist, no other reagents, so keep those in stock. Lower level Alchemy writs will ask for other reagents.

Also, with Consumable Writs at least, any character in the game can make the product, and you can turn it in for credit. You can get Gold Tempers/Kuta's even from low level writs. Its the Ambrosia Fragments that have a better chance on high level writs. Of course if your chasing the Mats to make the VR15/16 gear, you want the max material levels in the equipment crafts. I have never actually tried with Equipment writs to use something that someone else made, simply because I have never needed to.

If you get an equipment writ for say Void Cloth and you don't have any , but a bunch of Shadowhide, then abandon the writ and pick it up again after the writ reset. This is reported to be at 6 AM< but I don't know what time zone.

You can do 2 writs rather quickly, if your a night owl. Midnight in my time zone is when the rest happens, but I can do a writ at 11:45 and then pick up another one at 12:15 AM. Note, after doing this, I need to wait until 12:15AM again to get another one. You can also pick up the writs, even make the stuff, but not turn them in until the next reset, then you can turn in the first writ, then immediately go get another one. This of course puts you on a 48 hour cycle, but it is more efficient with your time, especially if your logging into alts to do the writs.
