Do you think there should be a way to share writ vouchers among different characters?

IcyDeadPeople

Just turned in my first large master writ and unfortunately it was a different character from the one who already had some writ vouchers. I didn't realize there was no way to share them in order to buy something that costs, say 250 vouchers.

rootimus

Hell, yes.

CaffeinatedMayhem

Oh f&ck yes. None of my alts do master writs (because the "master" ones are mostly 2-5) so they all get passed to my main to pool the vouchers!

Bouldercleave

I had to go other because I only have one crafter capable of completing master writs. I just bank the writ and pick it up on my master crafter. He is the only one that has vouchers because of this.

SFDB

Provisioning is what irks me the most.

idk

If would be nice though I do all my master writs on the same character so all my vouchers are already in one place.

driosketch

Yes, specifically I would like to have seen this happen when the system came out. To that point, I have already respec'ed my gear crafter to handle all six. And even then, I end up still selling many of the provisioner master writs.

KochDerDamonen

It's maddening when I get a master writ drop on an alt, knowing full well that I have to dump all the unopened writs into my bank before doing them

Loralai_907

I only do Master Writs on one character, so for me its fine, but I get that a lot of people would like to do them on multiple characters. So, it should be an option. You shouldn't be forced to only do them on one character.

NeillMcAttack

I wouldn't be against it. But it's really the same situation with alliance points. Only the toon that earned them can spend them so I can't see it being changed.

Nestor

Why Vouchers are Character Bound and not Account Bound is something I have never understood. It makes 0 sense, esp as a number of players spread their crafting over more than one Alt.

Pretty much this. If I get a master writ I immediately dump it in the bank, grab it on my crafter, and go to town on it.

Besides, if we can't have account-wide AP, why do it for writ vouchers?

Danikat

This wouldn't affect me personally since I only craft on 1 character, but I can't see any reason for them not to be shared and I know it frustrates a lot of people so I'm absolutely in favour of getting it changed.

(Honestly this and furniture crafting needing multiple disciplines is why I think I'm lucky that I decided to do all my crafting on 1 character back when people told me it was better to spread them out.)

Wreuntzylla

It's really just an annoyance.

I can only really see one reason for this system. ZoS was a little tweaked that at release people defeated their research timer system by splitting the work across multiple toons. This seems like a way to encourage people to focus on one character.

Uh this actually worked out in Zeni's favor because that meant more time spent gathering motifs to have across all the different characters. More time to grind = More time playing the game = More sub income.

In my case, I learned all Blacksmithing traits on one character, all the woodworking and clothing traits on another character, and then learned most of the provisioning recipes on a third character. That took about 3 years, just finished learning the last traits recently.

It would be nice as well if you could store AP in the bank, but for me this is not a big deal. If I'm playing on a few different characters in Cyrodiil, I simply bring each of them up to at least 200k AP so I can buy a few monster helms.

Asardes

I always do the writs on my main to have all vouchers in one place but I think being able to put them in the bank just like Tel Var but not transfer them to other players wouldn't do any harm.

Phica_Lovic

Like Tel Var. Nice options OP.

+1 for making a logical poll.

I wouldn't mind bankable AP actually. I think the only reason it's not is to artificiallly create faction loyalty, because you need need AP to buy stone trebs and forward camps. That's a bit of a relic of the past given how easy AP is to make now, and how many non alliance items are for sale for AP now.

MasterSpatula

The way it is now is such a bizarre choice. Pointlessly irritating.

STEVIL

i think not banking is fine but that is far from saying writ voucher system is fine as it is. Should not have added extraneous editorilzing to the answers opposing the Op views.

Acrolas

If you couldn't bank, buy, or sell writs, then voucher sharing would be important.

But you have every opportunity to cater writs to your ability, and it's still a fairly small vendor offering. So I see it as a non-issue. If we ever get multiple highly desirable items asking tens of thousands of vouchers apiece, then maybe.

Korah_Eaglecry

Not all of my characters are Master Crafters of everything. Back before we had the Crafting Bag I spread the crafting skill lines around different characters. It be nice if I could pool them since currently my Enchanter/Alchemist has the most vouchers because Ive had better luck with Writ drops for those two skill lines.

That is exactly how I split up my crafters too! I was used to doing this from other mmos. I made my Templar healer the clothing/ woodworking character. My original dk tank was my blacksmith and my nightblade (who I thought was going to be a "rogue") my provisioner/alchemist. So much of this game has gone counter to my original intuition..... to the point where my "rogue" is the tank and the dk is a bank alt lol.

Taleof2Cities

Not against it either ... although ZOS just made it easier for players.

You cannot erroneously accept the master writ quest on pickup now.

SydneyGrey

I did the same thing once, and that's when I realized that if you do master writs with a different character, you'll regret it.

IcyDeadPeople

Let's say I have a character which already has a lot of vouchers, but doesn't know blacksmith traits. Can I accept a blacksmith master writ quest with that character, then make the item with my blacksmith alt, and transfer to the first character via bank?

Does the quest get completed when you acquire the item in your inventory, or do you actually have to craft it with that character?

It has to be crafted by the character that is on the writ quest. Transferring doesn't count.

Oh! And don't accidentally wear the item they request because it disqualifies it. After I had the quest update to 1/1, I put on the epic chest piece and the quest updated to 0/1.

static_recharge

I brought this up on the forums when housing first came out. They should really let us pool them together. Why so restrictive anyway? We can pool TV stones in our bank.

MarbleQuiche

Should be account wide. Gold should be too. Hate having to log multiple characters to shuffle gold about.

Asardes

All my 4 veteran characters are maxed out crafters, but I only have rarer styles learned and traits researched on my first one. There are plenty of skill points to fully spec crafting on a char, yet be fully effective as player. I saw no reason to split, but I will research more traits on the 3 chars in order to maximize the chances of getting those writs and passing them on my main for the actual crafting.
