Is there a tier 10 crafting writ?

I picked up the daily in craglorn and it was still a tier 9.. Just wondering if you have to pick it up in imperial city or something.. or if there isn't a tier 10.

There is no tier 10. It's a good thing, nobody would waste insanely expensive tier 10 mats on a writ.

No tier 10... yet...

aneova_ESO - Why did you make it so complex for the newer Motif's? Also, why is so much material needed to upgrade our armor and weapons? 100 is extreme, you'll never be able to update the writs to the new tier if this remains.

There are a few reasons we’ve been splitting up the crafting Motif’s lately. Most importantly, to diversify crafters across the community, at least initially, as players learn individual chapters over time. This provides more niches for more crafters to participate in, and encourages wider overall economic participation. Additionally, we launched with a large number of easy to obtain crafting motifs and we want our crafting community to have aspirational content akin to combat-centric players.
Lastly, for particularly iconic appearances such as Dwemer and Glass, it should feel like a significant accomplishment to unlock the entire motif, given how recognizable and special they are to all of us. That being said, we understand it can feel a bit overwhelming to have to hunt these down across the game and over long periods of time, so we’re looking very carefully at the time investment required to obtain motifs in future DLC content.

In regards to the amount of materials needed for VR16 equipment, the goal was to provide some parity between the challenge of obtaining maximum level gear through non-crafted means (PvP, Dungeons, Quest Rewards, etc) with their crafted equivalents. Any writs we add for this tier will accept VR15 item deliveries which require the much lower amount of raw material.

Oh ! nice info ! Thank you, @MissBizz !

I don't think they will add them until the next DLC though (at least). I'd like to think Orsinium will host new resource nodes and allow us to harvest the material - which then it would make sense to have another tier writ.

Of course, I don't actually know anything at all, and this is completely my personal speculation.

I meant, the info regarding why they made VR16 stuff hard to craft, split up motifs, etc... it goes deeper than simple "they have to keep us grinding" and their explanations make sense.

Just like you, I'm confident they'll not add another tier for writs until the mats are easier to gather, since current equipemtn writs are already unpopular due a rather bad effort/benefit ratio.

There is no tier ten because could you imagine using those mats for throw away gear... there would be riots!

I really don't think anyone would do any writs that required VR15/16 mats. Too rare, and too expensive. Maybe if they free up resources for Orsinium, but I still wonder if I would ever do any of them.

I don't know about resource node, but on ESP Live last week they commented on the new materials and the high numbers needed to craft. They said they will not change the numbers but that this would not be a problem with future DLC. They did not elaborate what this means, only that it was all part of their grand scheme.
