Stealth Nerf Of Enchanting Writs?

Ashtaris · December 2015

Currently I have 3 max level enchanters. Before Orsinium came out, when I was still doing my writs in Craglorn, I could almost count on acquiring one Kuta a day from one of those enchanters. Since Orsinium was released, I've probably received one Kuta in the last two weeks. At one point, Kutas were selling for about 5500 in gold each, now they are going for over 7000. So either demand has gone up considerably, or the supplies are dwindling. It could be just bad RNG on my end, but I know some of you keep detailed records on writ/crafting returns. Could you please check your numbers and see what you come up with?

I've actually noticed this too, same with Glass fragment pieces. Kutas on XB1 NA were previously going to 6k for the longest time. Now they're anywhere between 10k - 15k. In the last two weeks, I've only received one Kuta from a writ package. I actually get more from my hirelings that I do from writs.

My enchanting delivers to craglorn and I get a kuta every couple of days. Perhaps try changing it so you get writs there.

I wouldn't think that the enchanting writs would be any different based on Zone, but it's something to consider. Only problem is that if I did change it would require a skill point respec and I'm not sure I would want to go through that kind of hassle

After chatting with some others in the trading guilds I belong to, I think I can say with some confidence that there was a stealth nerf to the Enchanting Writs. So was it intentional, or is the Enchanting writs broken? @ZOS_GinaBruno, would you please check to see if their was a reduction in Kuta drops is working as intended?
