Master crafting writs, add ability to see if we know the style on the writ?

Unless I'm missing something when we get a crafting writ for armour the only way to see if we know the style is to go to a crafting station and check. For example, I get a blacksmith write for such and such style. Before taking the "quest" I want to know if I know the style or not. It would be nice if the writ stated this like the style pages do.

It wouldn't be so bad except on PS4 you have to scroll through the million different style choices to find the one you want.

    Pretty sure the master writ says the style in the definition prior to opening the master writ to get the quest. The "quest" might not have it.

    True, that's what I meant. On the master writ it states the style but not whether I know the style or not. Thanks for pointing that out.

    Yes, it would be nice if there was text that said "known style" or "style not known" There are addons on PC that do this, but it should be base game.

    Same as filters for guilds stores for "collected" and "uncollected" motifs/furnishing plans/set pieces/etc...

    You can look in your lore library. But it would still be nice to know instantly as sometimes I forget to check and open a writ I can't do.

    Returning player here. I would really like to see this added to the base game. As someone who enjoys crafting, for things like recipes, motifs, styles, etc; I'd appreciate the ability to see if I can or cannot craft an item based on 1 missing attribute. It would save me tons of time and make it easier for me to search in guild stores for what I need to buy

    Even the addons aren't perfect for this: I recently got master writs for crafting sets only available in the crafting stations in the Earth Forge, but at the time I hadn't finished the Fighter's Guild main quests, required for access to the Earth Forge. So even though I met all other conditions to fill the writ, I had no access to the necessary crafting stations. My master writ addon of choice, WritWorthy, didn't point that out to me.

    The quest is not a requirement of the writ. It could have been done at any guild hall that has the station attuned (which is likely almost all of them).

    On occasion writs will drop for motifs that aren't released too. I once had a 100+ voucher writ stuck in my quest log for months because I had all the motifs and didn't realise I wouldn't be able to do it. Didn't want to abandon it because they were so expensive at the time so had to find a way of storing all the other writs that dropped and I couldn't accept :D I big red "unknown" somewhere on screen would definitely have helped there too

    I know guild halls are always an option, but to me that just feels like leaving the game. I like to visit the original crafting sites for the different sets, because then it feels like I'm actually participating in the game's story. So I'm NOT disagreeing with you, just saying that your suggestion doesn't fit my preferred playing style.
