Can someone look into these master writs?

jakeedmundson · May 2017

I've been doing these since they came out... bought the ebony motif... bought the ambrosia recipe... bought a few other random things...

But i keep getting these master writs with pretty difficult requirements... that are worth a garbage amount of writs.

Example...
Craft silk gloves of pelinal's aptitude
epic quality
training trait
akaviri style

So... 9 trait set.... and akiviri (one of the more expensive and time consuming styles to get)

8 writs.... REALLY? ANYTHING that's a 9 trait set should at least be over 20 writs... then factoring in which type of style... trait shouldn't matter at all unless its nirnhoned and i understand the big gap between epic and legendary... but 8 writs? come on...

I've done writs like... legs of hist bark - divine trait - bosmer style - legendary ... and gotten over 50 writs. JUST because its legendary i'm guessing? It's ridiculous.

I think it's ridiculous that some people get lots of master writs and others, like myself, hardly get any. In the past 5 days, I have recieved one enchanter writ for 2 vouchers. That's it!! All those mats wasted for one lousy master writ worth 2 vouchers! They need to even the whole mess out better.

Writs are pointless. Just buy the motif like I did. It's faster and let's you progress faster towards getting bored and leaving the game.

Oh look, a stupid answer and it came from a console player. Shocker... lol

If we are already talking about Master Writs, there is something wrong going on with them when as a full Master Crafter in single character:
- 9/9 traits researched in everything;
- absolute 100% food/drink recipes known;
- all alchemy reagents and runes translated and all achievements unlocked;
- 100% of motifs known (including limited time);
- 100% crafting achievements earned;
- 700+ of furniture plans learned;
I'm getting a Master Writ box once per week just to find out its 6 voucher one,

while people who never bothered with crafting, paid 50k to powerlevel their blacksmithing/woodworking/clothing to 50 and bough other "powerleveling kits" are cashing in 100+ voucher Master Writs one by one.

At this point I start to believe there is a critical bug in this Master Writ system where being better at crafting actually makes it harder to get Master Writ.

The whole system is upside down anyway. It was supposed to be "reward master crafters" but all it does now is rewarding "lucky" people.

The chance to obtain Master Writ box should be a fixed % for everybody. How many Writ Vouchers will be in the reward, this part should be determined by crafting mastery.

Not had any writs for a while now

Though I agree some are pretty stupid - having to go into IC for instance for a single figure reward.

Nirnhoned for a single figure reward...

They could have been good. Turned out to be another grind

I hope that they would do something for provisioning master writs that asks for 8 items.. why would someone finish writ that costs twice as much to complete than sell. It doesn't make any sense to spend 2 perfect roes on 1 writ

If you think that's bad, I just discarded a 7 voucher writ for a prosperous, death's wind, legendary akaviri staff. Legendary. Akaviri staff. 7 f-ing vouchers. Wish I took a screenshot of it but I was just so mad since that was my only writ in 2 weeks from all my crafters.

Ofc they do, you just quoted one

Like the rest of the RNG in the game, I think many of the MW are supposed to be junk or not worth completing.

My master crafter gets them almost daily, but they are only for 2-7 vouchers. My 6 trait crafter doesn't get them as often but they are usually worth 70+ vouchers.

WhitePawPrints · May 2017

I've had a lot of writs and their value not equal up. Style and set seem to not be factor at all since I often have the most expensive and difficult sets be worthless, while a nirnhoned, legendary Breton piece that is an original overland set will be worth over a hundred vouchers.

Agreed.

Yeah all I been getting now is 5 voucher master writs even then barely any for the past month 1/2 as well, my main crafter knows every single motif and about 15 more traits to research, should be getting plenty every day from the odds but no.

Yeah i actually had that one before... i let a friend make it and he wasn't happy with it.

i think it was worth 12 writs? and you have to turn in EIGHT ambrosia potions... REALLY?? just having that recipe alone should make that worth 50 writs or more.... then using 2 perfect roe? come on zos...

make these damn thing reasonable... i don't have an issue with the drop rates, thats a different story. just make the hard/time consuming ones worth doing.

On the Homestead PTS motifs, traits and recipes counted for more in terms of chance to get a master writ.

Then crybabies started a whining choir, and it got nerfed to the point where 99 % of the droprate is determined solely by RNG.

Smh.

Khajiit she has many of the motifs completed, about 450 of the cooking and the drinking recipes known, mostly nine of the traits researched on everything.

Most days this one she does the crafting quests for all of the professions.

Only now and again does this one get a writ and mostly it is indeed for a pitiful number of vouchers.

This one is genuinely curious yes as to the way these writs are issued and the way the value it is calculated.

For example is it only complete motifs that count - i.e. does the magic voucher monster only look really for completed achievements?

If this one she knew what exactly she was supposed to be working towards then it would be so much more possible to work towards it!

Master Writ is a fiasko system for anyone who doesn't do crafting dialies on 10 alts and simply farm the RNG.

On my perfect master crafter with every single recipe, motif and trait learned, I can go days and days without a single writ, and when I do get one, it's to craft 8 Orzorga's Bear Haunch (2 perfect roe aka 20k gold) for 10 vouchers ...

Smh.

Just look at those joke 2 voucher writs. 2 vouchers isn't worth the time, effort or tempers put into this poop.

I especially like the legendary 8 rosin shield for 10 vouchers (lol!). While at the same time, legendary nirn epaulets in simple glass motif - bam 124 vouchers. Or a dagger in the basic Redguard motif - bam 274 vouchers down your pocket.

What a joke.
