Once I reach level 50 in which ever crafting line (blacksmith, clothing etc.)...

Is doing daily writ quests really doing anything?
Noob question, but, writ quests are for building your crafting xp??

    You can also get some really nice rewards for the top level writs:
    - Gold upgrade materials
    - Psijic Ambrosia Fragments
    - Glass armor page fragments
    - surveys (useful at any level)
    - Master Writs (which reward writ vouchers upon completion, and allow you to purchase additional special mostly-housing items from the writ voucher vendor)

    I highly recommend continuing to do them.

    Only really beneficial for that while levelling but thay are also a good return of improvement tempers/alloys, survey maps and now master writs.

    I have always done the WW, BS and Clothing writs on several characters for the gold improvement tempers/alloys, survey maps and gold. Provisioning writs are the only source of Frost Mirriam and Bervez Juice while enchanting is a good source for kutas. Alchemy is a bit of a waste for me, only doing them for master writs now.

    You can get all of these from the daily writs:
    Money
    Kutas
    Glass motif fragments
    Repair kits
    Soul gems
    Frost mirriam
    Bervez juice
    Pitch
    Psijic ambrosia fragments
    Master writs

    As much as I would love to stop doing them, it's too worthwhile for me.

    OP your title says writs are worthless after level 50, yet your post inquires whether they are useful or not, I suggest you change the title as it's misleading.

    Writs only become worthwhile at max level.

    I agree with the others here. Writs ONLY become worthwhile after lvl 50.
    Sure they speed up the lvling process before but its so easy to lvl up any crafting skill as you yourself lvl up to 50 that I dont really see the point...

    I do BS,CL, WW everyday;
    Its an automatic 2k gold that takes less than 5 minutes to do ;
    - A chance for glass motif fragments
    - A chance for surveys
    - A chance for masterwrits

    I dont see them being great for tempers and the such , allthough they do occasionally give some. I get more by just refining the mats I find

    Everything he said. It can be a good way to get gold income assuming you do all 6 writs on 12 characters. Each can get about 4k so you can do 48k per day not counting the gold you can make by selling the gold upgrades, the fragments and the derived materials from the crafting mats you may not need from the surveys.

    I can't agree that they're only useful at level 50. My level 20 gets 400 gold per quest which pays for her riding lessons and will soon enable her to buy the 30k bag upgrade. She's gotten a number of blue cooking recipes she wouldn't otherwise have and assorted surveys. I'm going through a period where I have less time to play, and these quests mean that when I'm ready to spend more time leveling her, her crafting skills will be above level, her bags will have plenty of space for loot, and she'll have done it on her own while my level 50 continues to save for her dream house on Summerset (not yet available, I know). What's not to like?

    Even when leveling, the Inspiration contribution is small. You can get more from making two foods or deconning a couple of pieces of armor. The last reason you are doing writs, on any level, is for inspiration. You do them for Gold Tempers, and Surveys for gear, and mats for the rest.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    Max level is when Writs start being useful. (Except in Provisioning. I keep some characters lower-level in Provisioning just for the occasional lower-level purple recipe drop.)

    Even on four toons it's a minimum of 13000 gold per day, plus an additional chance at mats, mastercrafting requests and tempers.

    I do them every morning while drinking my coffee. Takes 20m. Used to hate it, till I realized how valuable doing them was.

    I didn't start doing writs on my crafter until she was 50. I felt taking this approach was easier as when I was leveling these skills storage space for all the mats was a huge problem as this was pre crafting bag. Once I got to 50 the number of mats required for the writs was less and also fewer recipes that I had to know.

    Does having a Level 50 in the craft count as "max level" or do you also need to max out the proficiency with skill points?

    Ok probably beating a dead horse, but what about Alchemy Writs after level 50? I've been doing them for a month now and getting nothing but materials. I've gotten a few master writs, small writs, yellow crafting materials, recipes from all the other crafts and I actually reached 50 in Alchemy FIRST. Is there any point to Alchemy writs other than the extra gold?

    valuable mats, gold, master writs

    This...

    You need to do master writs in order to get vouchers for certain housing items. Also, it's the best way to get lower level mats since all you can farm on a max level crafter is the high-end mats.

    You also get general XP/CP points from writs. Add that to the coin and mats and they are well worth doing indeed.

    I think all the reasons have pretty much been covered, so from that selection my own priorities are easy gold (4 grand or so per day per character, depending how many valuables I get in return), recipes and training deconstructibles which are handy for my lower-level characters, the occasional kuta stones and master writs. Admittedly few master writs are both doable and worthwhile, but you get the occasional decent one.

    Edit: oh, and survey maps, the essential lazy-arse's way for replenishing basic materials.
