What's the BEST/EASIEST way to do daily writs on all of one's characters?

Every time I see a post like this on these forums I cringe/shiver for the day ZoS will take it all away.

Pretty much every helpful, useful, fun thing that's every been posted on these forums has been stealthily removed xD

If they took any of this away... they'd probably have a riot on their hands. And the economy or game would die.

No need to level professions whatsoever. Just do the daily writs. You WON'T run out of level 1 materials. Writ rewards (minus surveys) will replenish your materials enough.

If you only care about the gold, then level 1 writs are fine. And the mats are super cheap at guild traders *if* you ever run out.

Meanwhile, my guildie who does max level writs on all this characters runs out of high tier mats pretty frequently.

Level all characters' professions to 50, *AND* put in the necessary skill points to work with max level materials. You'll definitely never run out of materials. No worries. (Getting the skill points needed will be the hardest part, maybe.)

As stated earlier. The main profit in daily writs is NOT in the 664 gold you get per character per day. It's in the gold improvement materials that drop that you can then sell (or not have to buy to upgrade your own gear). Those have a MUCH higher drop rate on max level than on level 1.

Also, ever since the changes to material return for max level writs, I have yet to run out of materials doing max level writs on 36 charaters

tbh low level mats are cheap af. and id rather just get lower level mats than grind up crafting on all my alts and grind skills...

I picked this answer but it's wrong for the reason of never having to get materials.

No matter what level of writs you do, materials will become a problem unless you habitually decon or farm or buy them.

That said, the time investment in writs is incredibly worth it. Even getting 10 characters to that point is a banked 46k gold a day for an hour of writs.

Forget master writs, frankly they are wasteful of materials in most cases. That said, Master writs are not the only reason to max the crafting trees. The higher your level, the better chance for yellow materials to drop from writ rewards, and that's big bank right there. I often rake in 20-30k in yellow materials doing my daily writs, adding on to the already guaranteed gold payouts.

It only takes about an hour to get the skill points tbh, be it from public dungeon events (preferable) or skyshard hunting. There's almost no reason not to do it -and as you highlighted at the beginning, failing to do so will quickly drain you of low level materials which you can't replace as easy as Ruby tier stuff.

An hour to get the skill points? You are nuts on that one. It is not bad, but that is a LOT of skill points. I am slowly building up my stable. Only 2 characters are maxed out almost completely (1 is completely and a few days from final research as well on BS). The others are pushed along as I can.

Premake all your alchemy and provisioning to save time.

Put points into the ones that let you get multiples each time for these.

You can also premake other things and that works as long as you do the quests daily. Otherwise you can get odd numbers of things in your bag.
