Can you farm it in Acapulco?

(RNGesus hates me or it's too common in writs vs the availability)

    I'm constantly out of jera potency rune. Half my toons are still levelling their crafting, but I've sunk thousands on buying jera. At least the NPCs sell it lol.

    If you don't farm, then you would run out of enchanting material on doing daily writs. Alchemy would manage after having a basic stock and points in right skills.

    But enchanting writs are not self sustaining, I keep an eye out of my stocks. I have 2k oko, deni and 2.5k makko. Though, if you collect surveys on time, you might get enchanting stuff back.

    I think they are, never farmed them seriously and have piles.
    The surveys and the hireling helps.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    I do farm, although not in Acapulco yet. I find that RNGesus has been unkind with the OKO.

    If you never do them, you probably have piles of the same survey, so pick the one you have the most of and do it. That should have you set for a month.

    I do crafting writs on all my low levels to fund their mount training but have eschewed the Enchanting and Alchemy dailies as certain ingredients are too scarce to use up, Oko runes being one of them.

    True, due to some mystery this one is in most demand from common runes.

    If you're doing writs, look at the consumption patterns. You use 1 oko every 3 days to make a health glyph. If your enchanting level is 1,4,7, or 10, you will be asked to provide another oko every 3 days. I think all 3 of the armor runes (makko, deni, oko) drop close to equally. So it's that extra oko that drives demand for those doing writs. I made sure that my characters who are not doing top level enchanting are at a level where the extra rune is one of the other two, to avoid having to shop for oko regularly.

    Actually oko has same chance as other runes, but other than glyph, writ also ask for one rune which could be ta or jera or oko, so you would be spending 2 oko over 3 day period on a toon, while only one of each deni and makko and 4 ta and 3 jora.

    No, but then again half the tasks in ESO aren't really fun, in my opinion. They just pave the way so I can have fun later on, which is endgame content for me (i.e. vAS+2 or vSS HMs).

    Yep. Only my main crafter has skill points invested in enchanting. The rest stay at level 1 to stem the essence rune bleed.

    @ZOS_GinaBruno can this be looked into? As has been mentioned before, top tier enchanting writs require one of three glyphs (magicka, stamina, or health) and then days that ask for a magicka glyph also require an oko runestune. 2 out of 3 days in the cycle require an oko in some form, leading them to be used twice as fast. They're not sold by NPCs and farming isn't a reliable way of getting more as there are 17 essence runestones that can be harvested from a node. Even surveys aren't reliable because I can harvest a potent runestone and still not receive a single oko. Once upon a time, I had about an equal split between oko, makko, and deni; now I have over 1200 of the latter and less than 400 oko. And I use makko most often for my personal glyphs as I play mainly magicka characters.

    I'm honestly getting to the point that I am just going to stop doing enchanting writs on any days that require oko.
