5/6 Provisioning, but Writs are for Coldharbour... why?

Conquistador

Hey everyone, I am 5/6 provisioning with veteran status on my character and the writs are sending me to Coldharbour, not Craglorn. Did Zenimax abolish the provisioning writs for Craglorn? I am confused as to why this is happening. 5/6 provisioning lets me do recipes up to CP50.

idk

Craglorn is 6/6, I would expect. If you have access to orsinium then you'd go there.

leeux

Did you finish the main quest portion of Coldharbour? Or else, did you talked to the NPC that ports you to Craglorn for the first time?

AFAIK, you can only drop writs in Craglorn once you get there "legally" by following the quest, even if you're above level and have already visited the zone.

Taleof2Cities

Is your character non-vet?

Minimum character level to receive the initial Craglorn stargazers quest is 50.

Erock25

5/6 is coldharbour even if you've done every quest. It's a real pain if you want a craglorn writ character. My guess is that it is that way because there are only 6 levels of improvement instead of 10.

That's the problem. I do not want to go to Orsinium because I do writs in Craglorn already for blacksmithing.

@ZOS_GinaBruno Care to explain why I am being forced to do a writ in a zone I do not want to be in?

Nestor

If you don't want to do Prov Writs in Coldharbor, set your recipe level to 6. It has been this way since game Craglorn came out.

Of course, if you have Orsinium, your going to go to Wrothgar to drop the items off for Recipe L6.

Morimizo

You're actually lucky to be turning in in Coldharbour; I have a character that turns in Enchanting (7/10) in Craglorn, Alchemy (7/8) in Craglorn, and when I raised my Provisioning to 5/6, stayed in Malabal Tor, doing the exact same recipes as 4/6. Been like this for 2 months.

Must we continue to ask? Can we PLEASE turn in writs where we wish? What's the difference? Maybe with One Tamriel?

@Morimizo

Have you been to Coldharbor on this character, and at least talked to the Groundskeeper? Once you do that, you should be able to drop off and pick up writs in Coldharbor. That is what my L6 had to do.

I don't think you understand. There were Craglorn writs. I want to do THOSE writs. I do not want to do Wrothgar and I do not want to do Orsinium writs. I want to do Craglorn writs. Why can't I do them? Do I have to unsub my freaking DLC to DO THEM?

@ZOS_GinaBruno Can you guys please, PLEASE, please do things that make sense. I want to be able to do craglorn writs if i want to do craglorn writs. I mean, really. I don't want to do Coldharbour writs and I do not want to do Wrothgar writs. I want do do Craglorn writs. The ones in Belkarth.

My char is the same and she's completed Coldharbour, Cadwell's Silver, and 2/3 of the way through Gold. =\

What I'm reading is that you want the survey rewards for Craglorn, so you can collect survey materials and farm nirn at the same time, without having to make a special nirn-farming trip to a zone you would otherwise have no reason to be in.

Nirn really should just drop everywhere and no one will care about what zones they are in for writs...

I put my skill points in the appropriate areas to do writs for Craglorn and one of them is not sending me there. The system is broken in this regard. Whatever my purpose is only concerns me. Why people attempt to presume and make sense dictating my existence in a game's region is most unfledged.

Beardimus

It does seem to be so darn Cryptic with no real reason why.

Crag has the Nirn, and used to have that extra Aspect chance at a Kuta until that all changes and it's just mice to easily understand why and where you will be handing in all the writs.

Hand in in Wrothgar has been a nightmare from the beginning with the Shatiul wayshrine a must plus the last 4-6 weeks the risk of locking a room in a crash loop. Unsub is all I can think of to keep out of Wrothgar, but I dont want to unsub bar that reason!

Wait provisioning never sends you to Craglorn, its coldharbor to DLC I thought?

Turning them in anywhere would be great. Auridon is an easy place to do them for me with access to all the stations I need in one smaller area and writ drop off right down the road. Closer together than Elden root too. I think they don't know how to do code so that you can turn in a writ at any of the set locations and get back the equal for it. Or maybe they thought it would be easier for players in set that zone to go to that place, but the reality is that most players don't level their (or all their) crafts equally on par with the level they are at. Some do crafts after they hit 50. Some of them end up leveling fast on a toon they have after their main so they have more mats to blow through it faster. So now they have to run to multiple locations to drop off writs. Kind of a nuisance. Would be nice to just drop them all off at one place and X writ gets to pull from X writ reward group no matter the location.

When OT comes out this would be more logical because the same resources will spawn in every zone.

Nah, you can do craglorn writs. If you are 9/10 blacksmithing for example, you will go to Craglorn.

Patthib

Provisioning writs at 6/6 WERE done in Craglorn (and still are with no dlc access), but once Wrothgar went live, all 6/6 prov writs went there. The only way I know to access Craglorn prov writs is to unsub. I am not sure you CAN get back there if you actually purchased the Orsinium DLC. The simple fix would be to add another point to provisioning to compensate, but I don't see that happening.

You're absolutely right - I could not presume to understand why anyone would do this.

Ilsabet

Provisioning writs don't give surveys, so I can only assume that the person doesn't want to have to leave Craglorn to turn in all of their writs.

I wonder if the contents of the writs changed though, can you get "craglorn" recipes?

Multiple characters wanting to acquire things at various levels... I mean really, come on now.

As a recipe collector, I have a character at every possible level doing all writs. Why? Because I want to earn them. It makes absolutely no sense why my max crafter is sent to Wrothgar for -ALL- writs and the crafter who is 1 step below that gets sent to Craglorn for 5 writs, and Coldharbour for 1.

I have, but if I hadn't, why would I be able to turn the other two @ Belkarth?

Thanks for the idea, though, appreciated.

Yes, this is why I wanted a level 5 provisioner! It was the only one I hadn't collected all the rare recipes for yet.

@Miszou Not sure what is so hard to understand for you. I have a character devoted to craglorn writs because the surveys have the best chance at getting nirn (compared to just random node farming) and because I don't want to burn through all my v15-16 mats so fast.

Shame on me for not reading the whole thread before posting. Apologies.

code65536

5/6 has always been CH. This isn't new, and this hadn't been changed. 6/6 is either Crag (no DLC) or Wrothgar (DLC). You have no choice in the matter. There are no surveys involved, so the only difference is the location for turn-in and the level of the recipe rewards.

That said, since we can pick up writs anywhere, it makes sense that we should be able to turn them in anywhere.
