I learned today, that
"Craft-Gear-Build"
is used as a description for ineffective and inferior gear. Tells us a lot about the standing of crafting in the game at the moment.

Today I got my first master crafting writ, while finishing with my all max crafting character. I found one master crafting writ. Which I think is okay or I was lucky. I needed to craft 8 ambrosia and got 10 writ vouchers.. this is really really out of scale. I mean 8 ambrosia means 2 perfect roe.. but only 10 vouchers for this!??!
Really unbalanced.
I have one maxed-out-Vet, 9-Trait Crafter with all passives in all 6 crafts - except for the Hireling and the reduced research time passives, which are no longer needed.
- The Crafter had gained all the Crafting Achievements, prior to update 13.
- She has learnt all the Motifs - bar 4 which are still incomplete and of course those added with this update.

In two days of completing all 6 craft-writs (therefore 12 total) she has not collected a single Master Writ. Sorry to say it Gina; that does not equate with what you are telling us above.
As a sideline, I will mention here that the find rate of actual Furniture Design Patterns is also ptetty abysmal. I have found none to date, despite extensive questing, dungeon harvesting and overland harvesting.
I encountered the same problem on the PTS and realised then, that there was no point in buying Daggerfall Overlook, if I could not obtain the crafting reward objects that I really wanted (mainly the training dummy) and if I could not craft the top-notch furniture that I would like to place inside the home. What would be the point?
HOMESTEAD was heralded as 'end-of-game content' for Crafters but in my opinion, it is not panning out that way so far.
Dungeons and Trials have their graded and guaranteed drop rates but there is nothing eqivalent for Crafters.
Please, please @ZOS_GinaBruno , get someone in the design team to take a serious look at these problems and to come up with some rational solutions.
I always expected Homestead to be a difficult and long-term project but I did expect to make some progress.
On behalf of a very sad and disappointed Master Crafter,
Tai-Chi - who remains optimistic as ever.

- Did you receive any Master Crafting Writs from the regular Crafting Writs?
- Was it easy to understand exactly what you were crafting?
- Do you have any other general feedback?

this is very weird. I assume you tried farming them with killing mobs and harvesting plants, and questing as I read it?
Because those are nearly all the wrong ways to find patterns.. otherwise your are very very very unlucky.
As stated in the patch notes the patterns are found like provisioning recipes.. which is in certain containers (urns (all types), backpacks, dressers, cupboards, chests, desks and night tables) mostly.. which I went on a stealing trip in AD with lots of urns in all Bosmer houses and to some Nord ruins which are full of urns and found like 6-9 or maybe more in an hour or maybe 2 yesterday evening.. ? Even a purple one.
I also found one killing an NPC, which is also stated in the patch notes.
Ways that are in the patch notes but didnt find anythin yet are: treasure chests from a treasure map (opened 6 I think yesterday), killings mobs (because I think like treasure maps from mobs the rate will probably be poor in comparision to containers, why would mobs run around with furniture designs anyway).
I do think the rates are okay and very comparable to provisioning recipes and blue/purple style motifs.
So I really need to assume you looked at the wrong place for blueprints.. or you are an extremely unlucky person.
I will try my luck again today for a master crafting writ.

I hoped that I could send to a toon to complete the writ... no luck. My toon does not have the style recipe required for it.
Now I am wondering what happens if I abandon the writ quest on my toon? Does the writ go back into an item in your inventory or does it get destroyed? I am hoping to abandon and put the writ in the bank for my main obviously...
Thank you in advance.
