Question about Seasonal Writs, I have some and need some advice

Darkshadow1911
Hi, and thanks in advanced for the help,

I have alot of seasonal writs from the one that has the Polar Bear Plunge in it, I was going to do them, but never got around to do them. Well, I put them in the bank as I got them for my Crafter toon. Well, I need to clean out my bank, and should I do them or delete them?

    It depends what they are and what you want: Have you already completed the New Life achievement that gives you the crystal skin? If you want that, you’ll need to do New Life writs — up to you how particular you want to be. Case in point, the New Life furnishing writs that require heartwood are absolutely not worth doing for the few crafting writs you’d receive. I think there are New Life provisioning writs that are a much better deal and are the only ones to consider doing just for the writs (if you already have or don’t want the achievement).

    Yeah there were two different writs, I think the hardwood ones were Deep Winter Charity Writs and the others were Imperial Charity Writs. The latter weren’t nearly as costly in materials.

    IIRC, the Imperial City Writs only required the base game style materials (Nickel comes to mind). Not the heartwood/bast/etc.. but I could be mistaken.

    Whups, I was mistaken. Those did indeed require bast, regulus, heartwood.

    Festival specific writs give titles, costumes, skins and more. some writs cost too much in materials to do and are not wort doing them. Imperial winter writs, avoid furniture, look for provisioning items. The furniture takes valuable crafting mats, like heartwood, which you can flip and make gold on. Do not destroy them. Sell them, donate them to a guild, or give them away in zone chat and make friends.

    A bit late to the party on this one, but I'd do no more than the dozen needed for the "Newly Charitable" achievement unless you're trying to complete your Skaal Explorer and Carved Nord outfit style page collection. Even then, the writs are a very expensive way to do that. The writs can be done and turned in whenever you feel like doing them, so that's not an issue at all, but they cost more in furnishing mats than they return in rewards. This is not a big deal if you've got a good stock of mats and aren't into making furnishings, but expensive if you don't have a good stock and the mats are probably better spent on your own furnishings.

    The same pretty much goes for Witches Festival writs. You need to do 13 writs to get the hat and 28 to get the "Witch" title. Beyond those, the rewards aren't worth the cost unless you're trying to complete the Hollowjack motif (#42). Some of the writs can generate more writ vouchers than New Life writs, so maybe worth it for those. Be a bit cautious with Pack Leader's Bone Broth (Dragon Bone), Corrupting Bloody Mara (Dragon Blood), and Bewitched Sugar Skulls (Columbine) unless you're good about harvesting your own mats.
    I'm fresh out of outrage, but I could muster up some amused annoyance if required.

    I don't think you can turn in the Imperial Charity writs unless the New Life event is in effect, can you, since you must give the crafted item(s) to the lady at the New Life event tent.

    On the other hand, the Winter writs can be turned in at any time of year since you just turn them in at any crafting drop-off.
    I've fought mudcrabs more fearsome than me!

    The NPC will spawn when you have a completed writ to turn in.
