Dailie writs, Lvl 1 or 160 CP mats, what do you use?

Æterny

I leveled 10 characters to 50, and max all professions on all of them. But looking at each material value, it feels pretty expensive to keep doing dailie writs using 160CP stuff, specially Ancestor silk... I can get a Master Writ here and there, but i don't feel like its the best reward ever, so...

Is there any benefit to use 160 CP mats, or its just a waste?

More gold and Exp, better chance at surveys and master writs.

150 uses far fewer mats than 160, and what I use I get back, and then some, with Surveys.

I am confused a little by what you are asking...

I do my daily writs on my max crafter using the 150-160 materials (Ancestor Silk, Rubedo Leather, etc). I do them at the 150 level which uses far less materials than the 160 level.

If you are doing yours at the 160 level, that is where you are going wrong. The daily writ asks for a material type rather than a level. Save yourself materials and always go the lowest level for the material type requested.

And how to do that? Use profession passive skill line at 9, not 10?

I only have my main do writs at CP level. The other 9 toons are there for the anniversary event and only do the lowest level of stuff cause they are not my Crafters and it would take too long to level them all.

At level 10, but use the lowest option available (150) for Ancestor Silk, etc at the crafting bench. You'll use 20-30 mats per writ, instead of 100+.

The passives are at 10. When you go to the crafting station you can change the level of the material. I'm on PC with keyboard and mouse interface so there are + and - buttons to click to increase or decrease the level. If you are on console or using a controller, I'm not sure what you'd use to adjust it but there has to be a way.

Oh god, is that a thing? I was aware that i could change the level of the craft, since i have crafted some gear sets for myself. But never imagined that was thing for writs tho. Thanks for the help

^ uh oh!!! Man you must have burnt some mats.

Each tier of mats covers various levels..so Jute for example, under it you can change how many mats you use and that changes the level from say L2-10 (roughly, can't recall)

Top tier mats can make at CP160. But for writs change it to CP150.

160 uses ten times the mats!! It's like 100-150 per item!!

well, you are right about master writs..... you only get those from top tier craft writs.

the rest is wrong though. gold and xp are determined by toon level.

during the recent event i noticed my low level crafters got far more surveys than the high level ones.
