Either very lucky or knows something i dont??

Zypheran

Ok, so I just went to one vendor in Rawl'Kha (PC/EU) and there was one player who had put up 12 legendary master writs in one day??
How is this even possible? I have done 12 in 2 days and not got a single master writ, let alone a legendary one.
I'm not gonna cast any aspersions but is there a trick here that i'm missing?? Is there a way to increase your chance of getting master writs. Even if you have 12 alts, all master crafters, its surely still very unlikely that you can get 12 master writs in one day.
Maybe somebody might explain this and assuage my feelings of bitterness toward this very lucky person

Well, crafting achievements i.e.: known motifs and traits, affect your drop chance for master writs. It is possible that the player described is a 9 trait crafter with all styles on each of his characters

Or possibly he had guildmates donating theirs or was buying them elsewhere for cheaper and is flipping them.

I am on console so I cannot say for sure either way but from what I've read so far those would seem like the most likely situations.

Thanks, good to know.. that actually does make me feel better

Probably buying low selling high. Could also have been accumulated since the patch went live and just happened to post them all on the same day. Or maybe a combination of both.

Maybe buying them for cheaper from other players

Well thanks for all the suggestions.
Mainly I was worried that I was missing some mechanism that other knew and I didn't.
Thanks all

What makes you think its been in one day? It's been like 4 days since they came out.

The number of days an item is on sale is shown in the guild traders .... or more specifically, the numbers of days left on sale.
So an item with 30days, means it just went on sale today

My bet is that they're one of the market manipulators who have enough gold to buy just about anything and then can sell them at even higher prices because they control the market.

Yeah but that doesn't mean he got them all in one day.

Of course, if he was smart he'd sell asap but just saying.
