So, I invested a Skill Point to increase Ace Adeya's Blacksmithing - Metalworking passive to Rank 6. Afterward, when he found and mined Ore nodes, he obtained Calcinium Ore to refine into Calcinium Ingots. The Blacksmithing Workstation UI also shows that he can make weapons and pieces of armor with Calcinium.
However, when he subsequently obtained a Blacksmithing Crafting Writ from a Notice Board, the Writ specified making weapons and armor with Ebony Ingots, which are used to make Rank 5 weapons and pieces of armor. Although I abandoned the Writ, the same Writ was still offered. The next day, which now begins at 02:00 AM EDST on the NA "megaserver", the Rank 5 Writ was offered again, and a Blacksmithing Crafting Writ to craft Rank 6 Calcinium weapons and pieces of armor has not been offered since.
Although I don't know when the ZOS development team broke a feature which was working correctly until they did, it probably occurred while eliminating the Veteran Rank system. Doing so re-defined each range of Levels between 1 and 50 for which each type of corresponding ingot is used.
If that is indeed the case, why has the ZOS development team ignored this bug for so long? It totally disrupts the paradigm, and I have no idea as to how to cause the software to offer Blacksmithing Crafting Writs to craft items for the character's current passive Metalworking Rank.
