One, let's accept that everyone seeing this post will already have experienced this and figured it out...but in case it saves some frustration here's how you open those master crafting writs to avoid accidentally being stuck with one.
1. If there's a master writ in your reward container, you'll get a prompt to accept the contract.
2. DO NOT ACCEPT. If you accept, the contract is a quest and bound to that character. You will be stuck with it, with no way to transfer the quest, transfer the reward vouchers if you complete it, or move it.
3. Choose "forget it." This transfers the master writ to your inventory as an item. It also annoyingly kicks you out of the inventory menu and you have to go back in.
4. You are now able to see what it's asking you to make, and what the voucher reward will be. You can transfer the writ to your bank to move to a different character, or you can sell the voucher in the guild store. If you do want the quest, simply read the writ and away you go.
