I took it into excel, divided the description into columns (using ; and : as separators) and played around. After sorting it into descending vouchers, i think i know the algorithm. It's darts table algorithm enhanced with at least three beers.I have cataloged 540 Master crafting writs with the requirements for the writ and the number of writ vouchers rewarded at the google doc below for those that are interested. I will try to decipher the writ reward algorithm later in the week. Feel free to do it for me:

Question - I wanted to create a bunch of template characters and learn varying amounts of motifs to collect some data from doing writs, but my previous template character was only given lower level mats (none of the top tier stuff), so she was unable to do writs without using the materials copied across from my account. Now that those are gone, is there another way to get the materials without farming for hours just for testing purposes? I'm a bit confused as to why they aren't given to the template characters along with everything else so I feel like I'm missing something.

Just make one or two max template characters. I think they each have all the current mats. 2-3 will give you 3-4K of every material, unless they changed this PTS templates. There are a couple complete recipe boxes plus an unlimited crafter kit plus the motif boxes.
My max template character didn't get the higher tier mats (rubedite, ancestor silk, etc) or runes. That was my issue. She got crates full of mats and runes but they only went to the second highest tier and I want to do max tier writs.

It's on the "Master Writs" tab.
I was wondering if you could have someone craft an item for you and when you take it into your inventory it would complete the writ.
I know that when I do provisioner writs for instance I have a stack of each in the bank and when I withdraw it to my inventory it completes it.?
it would be a nice earner as a full crafter of everything available.
Preliminary statistics about chance of getting master writs:
- True master crafter (knows everything on every profession, 9 traits, all motifs, all achievements): one master writ per day.
- Good crafter (8 traits, all cheap purple motifs, all achievements sans legendary): one every second day.
- Crap crafter (few traits, no epic motifs, no attempt to do achievements): alchemy one every six days, others one every 12 days (very unreliable).
Legendary/golden drop rate: 25%
All crafters are at crafting level 50 and had relevant skill points assigned. They did all six normal writs.
Alchemy has high rates because it's easy to maximize quickly and all had the achievements. Enchanting is also relatively easily maximizable.These numbers are from too small sample to hold any statistical relevance.
I think the drop rates of master writs are okay. Rewards need fixing.
My max template character didn't get the higher tier mats (rubedite, ancestor silk, etc) or runes. That was my issue. She got crates full of mats and runes but they only went to the second highest tier and I want to do max tier writs.
I just loaded 3 char on PC-NA, CP600, CP300 and L49.
They all got all mats. 1.4K of each per character after opening (I think) all the mat containers.
You opened the Ultimate Crafting Crate and then the individual Crafter Materials Crates? And you took everything?
Do you have Craft Bag? All my mats went in there.
You will not see the Rubedo or Silk in the container popups when you first open the Crafter Materials Crates because there are too many items for the popup to scroll. I guess its the same for the Runes, I didn't check those after the BS-WW-Cloth was okay. And re-checked, same issue for the Runes you won't see them in the Popup.
You can either take ALL or you'll have to take enough out of the popup to get the Rubedo and Silk to scroll up.
If they are still not there then yes I guess you have a bug/error.

I harvested about 50 maps total. Only got alchemical resin. No housing mats from Blacksmithing/Clothing/Woodworking/Enchanting.Grumble_and_Grunt wrote: »@ZOS_GinaBruno Can confirm what @Edenprime has said, New materials are NOT dropping from crafting surveys for ALL crafts except Alchemy or the drop rate is scrambled besides alchemy, any comment on this? Anyone else from EU cross over managed to find any of the Blacksmithing/Clothing/Woodworking/Enchanting materials from their surveys?

I have cracked the enchanting algorithm.
for glyphs base value is 20000
for legendary value is x3
for cp160 value is x1.1
for prismatic value is x2
divide value by 10000, then round for writ voucher reward
example:
Craft a Truly Superb Glyph of Prismatic Defense; Quality: Legendary
base value =20000
x3 for legendary =60000
x1.1 for cp160 = 66000
x2 for prismatic = 132000
divide by 10000 = 13.2000
round for writ vouchers reward =13
This is the highest amount you will be able to get from any enchanting master writ.
Confirmed value with @Dominoid post with the following data https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Zjp0byRyjqQAopZhcWqConJsQiVZQQqH4fxo22qxJc8/edit#gid=515828384
@Dominoid @helediron @VarilRau @Wh@WhiteCoatSyndrome
I have figured out the provisioning algorithm as well now.
like glyphs, base value is 20000
only modifier is if it requires a perfect roe, if so value is x4
again, divide value by 10000, then round for writ voucher reward
Assuming that Mythic Aetherial Ambrosia and the new Aetherial Ambrosia are not possible requests the most writ vouchers you can get from any provisioning master writ is 8.
The alchemy algorithm is simply this:
poisons reward 2 writ vouchers.
potions reward 5 writ vouchers.
It does not appear to take into any consideration what reagents are needed.
