Not Getting Woodworking Surveys

This might just be poor RNG for me but I haven't gotten any woodworking surveys since after the 5 year celebration event in April. I have 2 crafting characters and during the event I earned quite a few surveys but I collected them in the weeks following the event.

The weird thing is neither character has received any woodworking surveys since, I have received other surveys but not woodworking. I'm wondering if anyone else has noted a lack of woodworking surveys, especially since the fix to double survey drops, which I only saw once, or a lower rate of woodworking or other surveys.

    I've not seen any reduction in woodworking surveys myself. I have 36 characters that do writs. 18 on an account with Elsweyr, 18 on an account without... both are still getting them in roughly the normal ratios.

    Seems like bad RNG... sorry :(

    I do 18 toons worth every day and haven't noticed a reduction. Seems like bad RNG.

    Both of my crafters do daily crafting writs at the top level on blacksmithing, clothing, woodworking and jewelry. One has only 2 skill points each in alchemy, enchanting and provisioning. I wonder if that could impact the RNG a bit at least on her.

    Could be bad RNG but I'm sure I haven't seen one in at least a month. I'll keep an eye on how many woodworking surveys I get but I don't know what the "normal" drop rate would be or what other factors, if any, affect the drop rate.

    Are you keeping up with your full purple motif styles learned, @Ardaghion?

    Full purple motifs learned are a positive modifier for equipment master writ drops (including woodworking).


    EDIT: OP isn’t getting surveys ... not master writs.

    Bad rng really. Drop ratio for me seems to be pretty similar to what happened before. Crafting daily writs with 8 chars here.
