Anyone else race the writ quest pop up?

CaiWenji

I grab all six writs and run back to the guild banker as fast as I can. And as each thing pops up I know what to pull out. Blacksmith, wood these mats never change(if crafting level is stagnate) Clothier- make Rawhide boots- Quick grab rawhide not jute this time. Alchemy Potions of stamina- quick pull out the columbine and dragonthorn, 0/3 cornflower grab that- oh and a nat water, enchanting- glyph of magicka, oko essence rune- quick grab 1 oko 1 makko 1 ta and a jora. provisioner red rye beer and baked potato- potato and rye.

haha starting to learn all these by heart. And maxed ones too for my max crafter. but for those provisioning and alch i have extras since it makes 4 each time that's 3 extra writs done in the future.

Then split all the stacks and toss extras back in.


Anyone else find themselves racing the pop up quest like this? otherwise you have to keep exiting the bank to check the journal and hear, "fivefold gernerations my friend."

I always forget something and did here too! Can you guys spot it?















okay it was the style mat 24 of these to gaurenttee I have enough on a low lv char. 9 on max crafter.

What might help you, is that you don't need to pull the mats all the time. Glyphs, provisioning and Alchemy you can pre-make in big batches and the other's if the mats are in your bank u don't need to pull them out, craft direct from your inventory

But I do concur on the racing!!

Hey that's a good idea! Thanks!

Yeah you don't need to do all that running about, the crafting benches will use mats from your bank

@Epona222 - Not in guild bank, however.

Well, I have ESO Plus, so don't have to pull anything out of my bank (hugs her crafting bag). But I do grab all the writs then try and do them without looking at my quest journal or quest tip thingy (I disabled that at launch so can't remember what it's called). It's not overly difficult, but just a little bit of a memory test for myself I guess, using only the brief pop up of each writ's requirements to go off.

CaiWenji

But yeah, haha I don't even know what's mine any more and it is great! At first I put most mats in the little guild bank but now 3 or 4 others have been too. It clears up soooo much space in my own bank- looking at you provisioning mats-. And now we have so much for any and all of us. (Well we always run out of heartwood pretty fast) ahaha. But yeah we share are goods with eachother. so we cna have more of our own space too. So we always have to take stuff out combine in our inventory. and toss it back in.

That's cheating! haha no, that is great! I would love to have feature but have no need. ESO+ Craft bag- have guild bank, EXP boost no need getting close to that 600cp cap. All DLCs- I have 4 Pack. I guess it would give me the ruins of mossletoff (or what ever its called) and the other thing but not really a fan of the Velidreth set. Free crowns would be nice but you pay for the ESO + so it still is money, ill just buy the crowns separately.

But if ESO+ is good for you I am glad!

Cute. I just use "Dolgubons Lazy Writ Crafter" and Rapid Maneuver plus batches for the consumable writs.

I have heard of it on another thread but haven't tried it, myself. They said on that thread the alchemy and enchant didn't work for it. Does sound neat though!

Hey I did mention at the top. Did only say "wood"(Second line, Second word. You cannot edit the first post so no tricks) haha that never changes you need the same mat every day if you didn't change your wood level. Just like metal.

Alpheu5

My version of the race is a little different. I try to make the woodworking, clothing, and blacksmithing items before the quest popups finish scrolling on the screen. I always end up getting hitched when changing tabs from weapon to armor in blacksmithing.

Yeah when i played on ps4 i found out theres an active quest button on PC its T. Makes it easier if you are just running around.

If you are on PC and dont use Dolgubons to help with writs, you are some sort of masochist. I can do writs in about 2 minutes per toon. You make stacks of alchemy and provisioning writs in bulk.

Basically, you grab the first set of quests, click on the Clothing, Blacksmith, and woodworker station (one button) and it will auto do writs in about 15 seconds. Then you grab the second board, click on your mobile banker, it grabs all the stuff you need, then you run buy the enchanting station, again it auto crafts with one button, then you turn all 6 in. Literally less than 2 minutes. The loading screen takes longer.

I use the Lazy Writ Crafter Addon. Depending on what Crafting hub I am at, I can finish all my writs before the game finishes giving me all the messages. Even if I have to make all 6.

Yep, I love picking up the consumables dailies and racing to the drop-off before the quest pops up. I always do batches of 20.

haha all you guys and your extra, addons, I am still very fast! And I would even bet that I could beat your auto-writ addon time. With my multi-craft and rapids. I know myself, without any autobot, (mostly) what everything takes. Ravage health, stam - Emetic for both, Nigthshade health, Lumi Russ stam. Essence health mag stam- columbine for em all, water hya for health cornflower mag, and dragonthorn for stam all of these nat water or lor tears. I abbreviate a lot cause some addon I have makes it so I can search my inventory with a string. The thing I am still learning a lot of is the cooking ones for writs. I do have some left over from days before same with pots but like @Beardimus suggested I should stack more.

And cooking for effect, all I need these days on any of my characters: Orzorga's Trifle Pocket for a stam char, Orzorga's Red Frothgar for a Mag char, and Orzorga's Blood Price Pie for my one super tank. To remember what I need for these I edited my guild note to store the info. Same way I use all my friends lists, friends notes to store gear sets to test. Haha @A names are usually used this way!

Well now that IS fast!!

Missed reading your full comment, I am sorry.

wolfdoggie_ESO

I use Lazy Writ Crafter cuz I'm lazy. I also only do Cloth, Wood and Black because I'm very lazy. I wrote their names shortened because I'm extremely lazy.

CaiWenji

Lol lazy butt! @wolfdoggie_ESO It took longer to explain that than to abbreviate! But I feel ya! I am lazy too. I certified my 8 characters in all 6 crafts. But only end up doing it on 2-3 characters. Trying to do more for these anniversary boxes but yeah being lazy is more relaxing.

Enchant work, not provisioning and alchemy.
however here its just to browse and find items you need.
The big saver is the equipment crafting.

Even if not eso+ its no need to grab stuff, you just need mats and style stones in bank, standard race books are trivial cheap so you could focus on one race style.
Enchanting, provisioning and alchemy require more stuff, but not so much its tend to be the same 3 items for standard writs.
Here it might be smart to batch up.
Now ESO+ is an benefit then post processing as you need to stuff the reward items in bank or sell.

Duiwel

For the first 2 things yea, so for example x3 staves/shield & bracers, armcops and helmet.

Or whatever.

But then I have to check the next ones and I always forget food... At least I keep the crafted food in my bank so i can just pick and choose

Not quite sure if glyphs are worth pre-making. 1) they have to be made by the character that's turning them in and 2) they don't stack. If you're doing writs on more than 2 characters, that would be a bank hog.

Well I just use PC NA vanilla (no addons), what's cheating? Maybe there is a way to disable the floating billboard effect (that would be nice actually if there was), but I've not come across it in my options anywhere to date. I'll have a look again. I'm not smart enough to have memorized each day of the week's crafting requirement ahead of time though, i'm amazed some players can. Very clever.

Enslaved

I am ESO+ subscriber so I don't run to no bank at all. Also, have banker and merchant crippled assistants, so I sell/store all items I want asap. This "pleasure costed"me over 60 euros, + monthly subscription.

Gothlander

There is a beautiful addon called craft store that has your writ quests above the crafting ui so it's easy to remember what you need to make. Without that addon, I'd go crazy going back and forth to journal and craft table.

Cêltic421

On crafting alts I have everything made for each writ for 7 days. On main I read the pop ups for all the consumables and grab from bank. Then I look at quest for all the other writs and make them quickly.

What I really wonder is, with those crafts, can you complete a master writ on another character for them?
