    With today being the last day of the Greymoor patch, and Stonethorn launching tomorrow on PC. Last data has been entered and will restart tracking tomorrow.

    No real significant changes or anything unexpected happening this patch, outside of perhaps a small bump in Chromium Grain drops that I'll keep an eye on.

    Top tier gear writs produce Master Writs and a better chance of Gold Tempers
    Different levels of Provisioning Writs produce different levels of Recipes, which still sell
    Alchemy is something i run either at Tier 4 so I need less expensive Reagents or Top Tier to get Master Writs
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    Thanks for the undated info.

    Automation is such a beautiful thing. Wish I could just do 18 characters in 90 minutes on console much less 36. Takes me twice that amount of time if I do them. It takes 148 lots to just pre-craft for 6 days not counting food or alchemy. So, pre-crafting does not work for me. Hoping the new console will have help with loading screens greatly to help level the playing field some between pc’s ease of use with add-ons and console slo-mo.

    Be safe and have fun :)

    At the last tier there are only 3 foods and 3 drinks for provisioning and 4 potions and 4 poisons for alchemy, which is a total of 14 slots because they stack 100 and 200/1000 respectively. That's one of the reasons I have standardized at maximum tier.

    you can keep the ingredients in the bank and save space on each alt character; even if you have the subscriber craft storage it still makes more sense to free up the space on the characters, just craft daily instead; takes like 5 seconds with the addons
    or are you trying to save those 5 seconds?

    i can see no other reason; that must be it, to save 5 seconds you craft 100 items in advance
    i suppose then you don't need the bank storage
    what about enchanting? same difference

    i suppose it is worth the extra effort to save those 5 seconds (or more) later on; i'll give it a try

    i prefer to not sub because it leaves me free to not play and not feel as though i am wasting money if i don't play
    it is a psychological ploy, these games are really very deep into psychological triggers for playing more and spending money
    it's a whole industry, a profession, though i do not know the title one would have for the job, psychological trigger engineer, lol

    i'd say the crafting thing is a huge joke and waste of time; it gives people a sense of accomplishment; i kind of like that you can unlock colors by completing crafting achievements; nice colors; i feel superior showing them off to others who do not have them, lol
    anyway
    ...
    basically bottom line just max tier, set it and forget it
    gg ^&*
    Oh, now i 'C', lol ( * & ^ )
    Finally realized it is supposed to be about 'friends' online, lol; i thought it was about 'enemies' online, hmm
    Well, i can (must) buy the darkwood (?) sry, lol; blackwood expansion to get the companions, right? i'm looking into it right now.
    If they gonna put companions in the game, i'm a fool to say no (and be a f2p peon grinder, lol; feel for u, i used to do to) ;#)

    Well the reason I do it is that I don't invest in multiplication passives on alts, especially for provisioning. I just craft 100-200 in bulk on my main and the addon takes from bank. It saves on ingredients since instead of 1 portion I make 4 when I craft.

    Only for Alchemy and Provisioning does that work (since items crafted by different characters can stack.

    For enchanting, and the equipment crafts, the character who has the writ has to be the one to craft.

    With today being the last day of the Stonethorn DLC on PC. Final tabulation of the data has been done for this patch.

    With almost 15,000 more writs done this update, there's no discernable changes in drop rates across both accounts.

    Using prices from trade guilds on PC/NA, the approximate value of the writs done this patch was about 50 million gold (with only 10 million of that being from the quest gold)

    Survey drop rate is between 12.2%-13.5%, so near the expected 12.5% drop rate

    Gold improvement materials are between 28.8%-31.8%, so near the expected 30% drop rate from top-tier writs

    Master Writs are more varied, but they're ~15% for ones that are easy to max out (Alchemy, Enchanting, Jewelry) since they take research. And there is a clear increase (from about 9% to about 12%) between two accounts, one of which has significantly more motif knowledge (and is 9-trait in everything, instead of 8-trait).

    Will continue to track with Markarth, but results have been consistent for multiple patches, once the sample size is large enough to work through the noise of randomness.

    DO YOUR WRITS! (and do them at maximum level for maximum value!)

    With the Flames of Ambition DLC on 3/8/2021 and the introduction of the new "Meticulous Disassembly" passive in the CP tree, it is expected that the drop rates due to refining materials will change. To prepare for this, I will be putting the new refining results into new tabs on the spreadsheet starting with the launch of the DLC. This means that the "pricing" that has been included with the refining summary may be incorrect for a while as we wait for a large enough sample to cancel out the noise of randomness.

    New refines will not be added to the existing refining summary tab (but the prices will adjust as MM prices adjust), this could be used by somebody who does not have the passive and is at 3/3 or somebody with the passive at 2/3 in the crafts (but I would not recommend that, as you'd be losing improvement materials)

    In testing on the PTS (with only jewelry materials, since that the only one you can get "unlimited" amounts of on there), Meticulous Disassembly absolutely increased the drop rates from refining, most likely giving an approximate 12.5% boost to drop rates when combined with being 3/3 in the appropriate passive for the craft. These results are shared on the spreadsheet under the Meticulous Disassembly Testing Tab.

    The final Writ Rewards for the Markarth DLC have not been put in yet, those will be added on Sunday afternoon after I finish my writs for the day, but there are no discernable changes to any of the drop rates from this patch either. I have started personally tracking drops (on a custom add-on) on a per-character basis to try and get a better idea of how much motif knowledge and others might affect drop rates across different characters. However, because this is now splitting my data into 36 smaller bins, it is subject to significantly more variation, and I'm not comfortable with drawing any conclusions on it at this time (even though I've been tracking for nearly a year at this point)

    Meticulous Disassembly - sizable increase in the amount of upgrade materials you get

    Plentiful Harvest - going from a 10% chance to get a double node to a 50% chance.

    Those are the two biggest ones. So, some significant improvements for crafters with this CP!

    First update of refining added in with Meticulous Disassembly slotted. Very small sample size, so don't draw any unwarranted conclusions from the data. But at a very rough guess, it is working, as improvement material drops (other than 1) were above the "old" expected refining rate.

    Data and analysis for refining rates have been adjusted to show PER REFINE rates now, due to some confusion about the data.

    All analysis has been updated to reflect these changes.

    No change in expectations.

    Meticulous Disassembly increasing the drop rate by 12.5% is still my best guess. This means you take the drop rate of 5% for gold mats and multiply by 1.125 ( 100% + 12.5% ) to get the new drop rate (of 5.625%)

    I can with nearly 100% confidence reject that the old drop rate is in effect (and that my higher results are the result of "luck")

    There is close to enough data is be fairly confident that the change to drop rates is between 10% and 15%

    Will continue to add more data in and analyze as we go. But I've collected all my "big" (10+) stacks of surveys since the launch on Monday, so it'll be a bit slower.

    Data and analysis for refining rates have been adjusted to show PER REFINE rates now, due to some confusion about the data.

    Thanks for taking the time to set this up, analyse the data and report your insightful findings - appreciated!

    14 accounts?

    or

    14 characters?

    47 accts total. [ What started as a guild bank want got out of hand when my family got involved :wink: ]
    14 x ACCTS with 18 crafters per acct. All but my last one are level 50 in all crafts. They range from 300-1350cp except for my main. It's taken years to get here but I had help from some truly beautiful people along the way. And yes I'm able to play a lot more than other's, I can thank a drunk driver for that.

    I wanted to also jump onboard with others and say Thank you TM .
    Data over theory is always appreciated.
    Keep up the great work!

    With the end of the Waking Flame patch on PC (and having completed my writs for the last time this patch), the results from writs this patch are shown below. Note that sample sizes are smaller than average, I've been taking a break from doing them everyday (and not even using the alt account at all), while I play some other games. So while there appears to be more variance in drop rates, that is due to the smaller sample sizes. None of the drops are statistically significant for us to suspect there is any change in drop rates of surveys, gold mats, etc. If you have other data that contradicts this, I always love to see it.

    Drops from in-game tracking in Lazy Writ Crafter (since I was accused of "faking" my numbers by somebody via DM from another thread) :wink:

    Open and transparent data is what we need to determine if things change, thus I'm sharing it openly :smile:

    Link to spreadsheet and any updates is in my signature as always.

    Happy writting! May the RNG always be in your favor!
