I play the game quite a lot and I've noticed a few issues regarding swift jewelry trait:
1) The exemplary jewelry is unreasonably rare. I have only gotten 2 pieces over more than 5 months of doing daily jewelry writs. I stared out with a max tier character, got my first one when I had just gotten to three, and had the 2nd one drop by the time I had reached the tenth one, nearly 4 months later. The observed drop rate is much lower than 1%. By comparison other traits drop too often, namely Infused, which has an estimated drop rate of 7-10% from my experience looting portals. The exemplary infused jewelry has gotten to under 1K on guild stores, which is almost the same price as the trait material itself. I suggest increasing the base drop rate on swift exemplary jewelry a little, or, alternatively, keeping the base rate the same but adding a coefficient dependent on other things, such as the character having other traits researched that will boost it a bit. In contrast, exemplary infused jewelry rate needs to be decreased, and the chances of getting the material increased proportionally.
2) Considering the swift trait effectiveness is being decreased as of next patch from 10% down to 6% per piece of jewelry, I would also suggest decreasing the price of accordingly, from 20 vouchers, down to 10-12. Since vouchers are on average ~500-600 gold craft cost across professions, the 20 voucher price tag is 10-12K gold in real or potential cost which is a bit too high. Decreasing the price to 10-12 vouchers will bring that down to 5-7K, which will also make crafting jewelry master writs with this trait more worth while.
