1 Year of tracking writ drops and refining rates

I keep running out of zircon, rather than having any problem with chromium. That's not an issue if you only want to gold out drops, but quite a pain for doing the Master Writs.

Curious: how many gold master writs do you regularly receive? I've gotten exactly two since the change to jewelry crafting dailies, and only one of which seems remotely worth doing at 606 vouchers, and that's from daily writs on 10 characters for months. I have yet to receive a purple one worth doing, and the only blue ones I complete are the 28 voucher base trait examples (arcane, healthy, robust).

On the contrary, I get plenty of chromium and zircon from my writ rewards -- more than I could ever use on worthwhile purple or gold master writs, I'd say. Perhaps we have different thresholds what is worth completing.

From my experience the drop rate for master writs in Woodworking, Blacksmith & Clothier seems to be the opposite, traits weigh more heavily than motifs learned. Once I started researching traits on alts the master writs drop rate increased a lot. Also I compered my character with 60+ motifs learned and one that just has 16 and the number of master writs of those types was only ~5% for the former; both have 9 traits on everything.

Also there seems to have been a boost for legendary and epic jewelry master writ drop rate in November or December, before that I was barely getting any of those, maybe 2-3 a month tops, but now I'm getting 5-7 every week. The cutoff is quite clear because I sold them and MM shows it. The number of character was 18 both before and after that change, and I think all were already done with their research by that point.

Is there any way I can reach out to you and also, have you considered breaking down data from UESP's addon to do these breakdowns in more mass?

Thanks!

You can always reach out to me here in a DM. Or in-game on PC, same username. I have accounts on both NA and EU. I have Discord and all that, but not going to put that out for everybody here in the forums

I haven't even really looked at the UESP add-on to see what kind of data was in there (I just pulled it up on ESOUI to check). It's always nice to have more data to look at, so I may give it a look when I have more time.

I don't think I have an option to DM on here. I have3 a Messages section but can't seem to message anyone.

I'll send you a message in-game.

Thanks!
