Master Writ just stole 8 gold tempers

Scaraben

I received my first master writ today in blacksmithing. I was pretty excited. It required a legendary, powered rubedite mace of Spectre's Eye in the Imperial style. Since I pre-ordered the Imperial Edition, I can convert anything into the Imperial style. Easy-peasy. Except that apparently converting an item doesn't count? I made a powered, rubedite mace of Spectre's Eye. Converted it into Imperial. Upgraded it to legendary. No dice.

I feel like I seriously got hosed here. This is almost as bad as the time I accidentally enchanted a Master Resto Staff. This has got to be a bug, right? Right?

I suspect it is by design as you did not craft it with the required style.

You needed to craft an Imperial mace. It sounds like you crafted an bosmer mace or something and converted to Imperial. But converting is not crafting. Part of the master writ requirement is knowing the (often rare and expensive) motifs you are asked to craft in.

Not to mention converting it to Imperial binds it to your account IIRC, so there's no way to turn that in for the Writ anyways.

I suppose all that makes "sense," but it would have been nice to know ahead of time. Thanks for the responses!

I'm still shaking my fist angrily at ZOS though
