Master Writs: Myths you've heard?

✭✭✭✭✭
Myths or superstitions you've heard or actually believe in concerning their acquisition.
I'll start...
1. Don't open Vessels, Coffers, Crates, Cases, Satchels, or Packs while still in Craglorn.
2. Don't open an Alchemy vessel first, because if you get one in there, you won't get any others that day.

✭✭✭✭✭Khajiit is still not so sure about what she has heard that more motifs and more recipes give you a greater chance yes.
This one has the most motifs and many recipes yet many of her apprentices who have less of these, but are maxed out in the relevant craft, seem to be getting the master writs just as much - perhaps even slightly more so yes.

That's ok, I generally don't do alchemy ones because I don't think they're worth wasting nirnroot on.0 -

✭I got 5 master writs in one day on one character. All opened in Craglorn. That bear haunch one is a jerk though.1 -
alexkdd99✭✭✭✭✭
✭I am convinced that motif known and recipes known play no part, or at the very least a very insignificant part in getting master writs.
I realize zos said they increase the chance, but knowing all motifs could only increase chance by .01% and that statement would still be true.2 -

Why? Nirnroot is so easy to get. Go to the Hollow City and there will be your days worth in front of your face when you spawn in by wayshrine lol. Nirnroot is probably the easiest alchemy reagent to farm. Always near water and hums and glows naturally. Thats why I have 4x.more nirnroot than any other reagent even after a year of it being the only thing writs would take. By the way, since housing the writs dont always take nirnroot. 90% of the time yes -but I got one the other day that just wanted Lokhrans Tears.
Plus Master Alchemy writs are easy vouchers.Edited by lagrue on March 15, 2017 4:39PM"You must defeat me every time. I need defeat you only once"2 -

I think it's greater number of vouchers, not chance for getting jobs.
I don't have a lot of recipes on most of my characters and only get 2 writs for those.
Though I also only get 2 writs for enchanting jobs and that's with all the achievements (except the new furniture related ones). I typically get 5-7 for the other crafts.
In terms of motifs I seem to be getting jobs at the same rate on my characters whether they've learned any or not. But so far the only job I've gotten with more (which was about 30) vouchers was on my character who has the most motifs. That 30 is well under the 100+ I see some people selling so I'm guessing that's because those players have more motifs learned.0 -

✭✭I've been doing level 50 writs on 15x toons w/ 6 writs a day + another 16 with 4 or fewer writs a day. Every toon has all herbs learned. Every toon doing enchant writs has all runes learned. Every toon has all the 1 page motifs + festival motifs + mercenary. 2x toons have all motifs except the homestead ones, 1 has ebony. All toons know all the festival recipes (including hissmir), and most of the purples that drop from max writs. 1 toon knows all recipes except mythic ambrosia and the new voucher xp pot, and 1 toon knows most recipes - even mythic ambrosia - but is missing some of the rarer lower level ones.
I usually get at least one 40+ voucher writ per day, about 2-5 worth 5-7 vouchers, and another 2-5 worth 2 vouchers. Some days more, some days less.
The only thing I've really noticed is that Provisioning master writs don't drop hardly at all, even after the recent incremental patch was supposed to fix that. I get maybe 1 provisioning master writ per week, but maybe that's a factor of how most of my toons know only a handful of purple recipes and 1 gold.[PC/NA] @silvereyes | My Addons on ESOUI.com0 -

Its been months since ive seen a recipe i dont own of any rarity. Pretty sure I have every one and Im only missing 5-6 full motif books. I get 1 or 2 writs a day from just one character.
I dont know if this is anectdotal evidence but I read alot of comments about how people do the writs "on 6 characters" and get nothing across 36 regular writs - so maybe it actually is signifigant to have learned alot of stuff.
Noteably my alt who doesnt have all this stuff has yet to produce a writ in the last week."You must defeat me every time. I need defeat you only once"0 -

Ebony motifs don't count.
This is funny as I've gotten less writs since getting the Ebony book...#AlmostGood@ESO1 -

lol I'm not salty and there was never a presumption of truth behind them. I felt like you got all worked up in some sort of "crafting ownage" lather and felt the need to "lay it down."
Or maybe it was just a chance for you to show off your plumage.

You seem to have an unreasonably low bar for "got all worked up." To each his own I guess.@wayfarerx - PC / North America / Aldmeri Dominion0 -

Fair enough, my bar is set pretty low. Its always right at the point where somebody can't get over themselves and takes everything too seriously.#AlmostGood@ESO2 -
AdamBourke✭✭✭✭✭I don't know about myths - but but the interface for using the sealed writs is horrible - that thing that pops up when you take it out of the container and it tells you nothing about the writ? I hate it.
I did that with my first one, and it turned out I didn't have the motif. Dominion Shoulders. I spent 25k on it (which is a lot for me, the most money I ever had was 200k, and that was after saving for a while for a house).
It took me a long time to find this motif, I had 11k when I started looking, found it after searching all the guild Traders at HollowCity, Mournhold, Skywatch,Rawl'kha, Wayrest,Daggerfall, various outlaw refuges and smaller cities, and Finally Elden Root. There were two available in Elden Root, on for 15k. I went and earned the money to get it, and then came back. It was gone. I spent all my money on crafting plans in frustration, but came back the next day - the other one was still there for 20k. I grinded the 14k or something I needed, only to find it gone again. There was another one for 25k though... i went back out and finally got enough...
I made the item, handed it into hlaalu...
6 vouchers? Is that it!? You can't buy ANYTHING with 6 vouchers. I could have bought another 5-10 crafting plans with that money! Pfft.
I was so annoyed I stopped playing again. And all because of the stupid way writs are opened. In future, i'll be careful not to open them.PS4 - EU

Plus Master Alchemy writs are easy vouchers.
the bit i put in bold.... that is not the case. alchemy writs have always required either lorkans or nirn.
anyway back on topic....
i heard that if you hand in your writ to the left hand side of the container for consumables and the back of the container for gear you are almost guaranteed a master writ....

Spacemonkey✭✭✭✭✭The earlier you do writs in the day after they become available, the higher the chance for a master writ. Thats because the mechanics allow for a set amount of masterwrits to be awarded to the game population each day. So if you do your writs when all master writs have already been awarded, your chance of getting one drops from (no clue the percentages) say 5% to 0%.
Now you know why theres always a bunch of people waiting around the writs board at that time of day.

✭✭That the more skilled your crafter is, the more chance you have of getting master writs (or maybe the greater the voucher rewards will be).
My master crafter has received far fewer master writs than my underlings and is about 4th out of 7 characters in both writs received and vouchers rewarded.Australian on PS4 NA server.
