Master Writs will probably worsen the Rank IV and V recipes shortage.

It has become quite difficult to find rank IV and V recipes since One Tamriel. This is due to the generalization of level-scaling, and the fact that once a character has reached CP150, none of the alts can experience the Level 50 to CP140 content. There are very few zones where it is still possible to find such recipes - Coldharbour is one of them, but now that there are so many blueprints, the recipes themselves got diluted into an ocean of random drops.
This increased rarity accounts for the very high prices of rank IV and V purple recipes - usually between 15k and 50k. There was still a consistant way of finding them (and earning gold by selling them), which consisted in willfully keeping all but one character at rank IV or V of recipe mastery, in order to obtain them, for example, by doing daily writs. But now, keeping unmaxed alts means sacrificing a chance at sealed writs. Many players will thus max out the recipe rank of all their alts to get the valuable golden drops. This will probably result in a drop in offer. Simultaneously, the demand will rise as people will need the recipes they miss to successfully complete the master writs.
This makes me fear that the rank IV and V purple recipes will become virtually nonexistent in the game.

✭✭✭✭✭For myself, I've purposely kept some of my alts back for just that reason--and I intend to keep them there until I find all the purple recipes my main still needs.
After that, we'll see. Even the green and blue recipes sell better for the lower levels, but that could change in the future.#proud2BAStarObsessedLoony

That's my strategy as well, and it's working. My main is missing about 30 recipes, mostly between level 30 and 49. It's slow but I am getting the occasional missing recipe and every blue and purple I already know sells quickly. Regretting now not having sought those recipes before, but I never saw the need since the missing ones were different versions of food I already know.
As far as paying extortionist prices for recipes, I'll keep my gold. The only provisioning Master writ I've gotten so far was on an alt that knows a fraction of the recipes compared to my main.
