Got an alchemy writ for 2 Vouchers yesterday. Only 124 more until I can afford my first attunable crafting station ^^

(Edit: The writ required me to craft 20 max level poisons with Cowardice, Spell Resist, and Detection trait so was really easy one )

How do you remove the master writ without staring the quest automatically?

You will have the master writ in your inventory if you DON'T accept the quest. Whoever had that idea at ZOS is a *** genius... *insert genius meme here...*


Anyway, I won't share the pictures here in chat but i'll try to provide some statistics when I have more data.
What I'm interested in is what the actual drop rate is depending on research / styles / achievements. Not an easy task and it will take a while.

I'm sitting on 9 crafters with different progress states and will do all dailies every day (except with the one character that has a bug... only 3 dailies there per day). This should be 51 crafting writs each day. The first day brought 5 or 6 master writs worth 70+ vouchers.

Ran writs on my main crafter (all reagents known, all glyphs known,9/9 traits, all motifs, all recipes (including Aetheric Ambrosia)) he got 0 master writs. Ran writs on my 9 alts (a lot of recipes, 1/3 traits completed, a few purple motifs, all reagents and glyphs known) got 3 small master writs. Out of 60 writs, I got 3 master writs with a aggregate voucher value of 19.

This cannot be the "finally rewarding all the crafters out there" that ZOS promised. I understand RNG and such, I really do. But the whole idea of rewarding those that have put in the time and effort into leveling the crafts, like I did on my main, was that those Truly Masterful Crafters would have an increased drop of higher value Master Writs.

Well, I ran todays 60 writs and the results are about the same. May Truly Masterful Crafter got 0 Master Writs. And across all the other toons I got 5 Master Writs totaling 20 vouchers.

@ZOS_GinaBruno Not sure if ZOS folks are watching this and nodding your heads collectively that this is how it was meant to work. But, the RNG seems way too arbitrary.

My subscription was up for renewal this morning, ironically. Rather than re-subscribe for another 180 days and pre-order the Morrowind expansion pack; I'm going to see how the rest of this week pans out.

Did a round on my master crafter, all traits learned on everything. Got a Smithing one and a provisioning. It hurt me real bad to make those legendary boots and turn them in. 70 vouchers or whatever was nice but damn. Tempers ain't cheap, shoulda sold it.

So you can definitely see what is inside the writ first? And still sell it? I'm thinking in terms of not being able to complete it, if you don't have enough gold or traits. It even says in the patch notes that you might not be able to complete them.

When you take everything out of the writ reward container, it promts you. Select goodbye, and the master writ instead goes into your inventory. You can mouse over and the tooltip shows you the requirements and the voucher reward. From there you can sell or bank the master writ. I suggest to use the master writs you plan on doing on a single character so your vouchers aren't spread out.

I'm happy for you, but your perception does not seem to hold true. If you look at my post above, my main crafter has all crafting achievements, all motifs, all recipes (including Aetheric Ambrosia). He can craft any craftable item in game. And that toon has gotten 0 writs. If this Master Writ RNG was actually set to reward those that have gone above and beyond in the crafting disciplines, as we were told it would, my main should be almost guaranteed to get some amount of Master Writs per day. Well, some amount greater than 0.

No one knows the percentages. As I understand it, the chance of getting a Master Writ is very small. All those things you listed are supposed to increase that chance, but they aren't meant to guarantee getting one. You are still in the hands of RNG. Over time, that increase in chance should mean that this toon will get more writs than your other toons. But if the chances of getting a writ are as small as they appear to be, and benefits of achievements, etc. are also tiny, it is going to take a very long time for that pattern to show through.

They setting us up. Just wait....

Errrr....i just sold that writ....it was too good to pass up.

What are the gold master writs selling for? And for that matter, has anyone seen a target skeleton recipe for sale? What do they cost in guild stores? I am on console so I don't have access yet.

Sold my writ for 600k, few minutes later the same dude was selling the target skelly for 1,5kk

Thanks. That might be what I do in a couple of weeks. I wonder if he managed to sell the skeleton at that price.
