Can a Dev clarify if:Tradeskill mastery (which determines your odds of receiving a master writ from a top tier writ reward box) is meant to imply a long-term dedication to the craft. This varies from tradeskill to tradeskill.
For Blacksmithing, Clothier, and Woodworking, this means motif knowledge and overall completion of trait research. This does not include Crown-exclusive motifs or motifs for the 9 base player races. It focuses on motifs that take some effort to learn – like Xivkyn, or Minotaur, or Celestial.
For Provisioning, this is instead your collection of known purple and gold recipes as they are a strong overall representation of dedication to craft.
With Enchanting, we instead look at the total overall rune word translations you’ve completed on that character.
And with Alchemy, we look at how many reagents from which you’ve completely learned all effects.
Over time, the contributing factors for this may expand as the associated tradeskill mechanics do.

* The tradeskill is specifically within a crafting tree? For example, if Provisioning is maxed out, with lots of purple and gold recipes known, but no other crafting skills are trained, does that mean that character still has a good chance of getting Provisoning Master Writs in their provisioning reward boxes?
OR
* The tradeskill is a combination over all crafting trees. If that's the case, in the example above, the character would have nearly no chance of a Master Writ, as they only have 1 of 6 crafting trees maxed.
This would be very helpful to know!

Also, as we’ve seen a lot of collective concern regarding the impact of motif knowledge on your odds of receiving the (very valuable) Blacksmithing, Woodworking, and Clothier Master Writs, we’d like to reiterate that motif knowledge is only one component. That knowledge shouldn’t make, or break, your chances of receiving Master Writs on its own, but it does significantly influence those chances.

Regarding the motifs: Does each individual chapter count, or only fully completed motifs? I.e., would I be better off focusing on depth, hunting down the last couple of chapters that I'm missing from a style, or would I be better off going for breadth, trying to get as many chapters as possible, even if they are scattered between a variety of styles?

So people buying Crown Store exclusive motif styles, which are supposed to be purely cosmetic items, have better chances to get ingame items per Master Writs. (i.e. a person with all ingame motifs + CS motifs will get more writs > a person with all motifs available ingame). Interesting.

Thanks for the response, @Bel_Shezzar

I personally think it's great for there to be an additional incentive to learn the various motifs.

A change to the add-on API in this update seems to suggest that they're looking into the ability to convert grease to any style in the future. It's quite possible that all of this motif knowledge will mean something more in the future because of that.

More information would be great...
Btw. how does trait research plays into the drop rate / quality?
@Bel_Shezzar :
Could you please provide more information?
