Clothing Writs - Silk vs Rubedo
ol_BANK_lo
✭✭✭✭✭
Can anyone explain why 90% of the clothing writs seem to use Ancestor Silk? I have run out of Silk, and have thousands of Rubedo. Why don't they split them evenly?

lardvader✭✭✭✭✭Always been a problem however I seem to get more rubedo writs now. Still they need to introduce another rubedo variant as it's 2 different writs for ancestor silk and only one for rubedo. I never have more than 2k silk in the bag but more than 15k rubedo and it's still accumulating.CP 1200+ PC EU EP2 -
UrbanAvalon✭✭✭It seems to be 50/50 for me, but I naturally have more rubedo than I do silk, so I always seem to be short.[PS4] [NA] [DC] [Mauloch's Legion]:

Dasovaruilos✭✭✭✭✭It is 2 days with 3 pieces that require Ancestor and 1 day that requires Rubedo.
I agree they should have one of those days and either do a mixed one or add another day with Rubedo.
This puts a lot of pressure in Silk. On Xbox/NA you can buy Rubedite, Rubedo and Ruby Ash for around 5k a stack, while Ancestor is close to 20k sometimes.
This is really bad for new players too. Crafting a full set of Julianos is very expensive right now compared to other armor.4 -
Mithoron✭✭✭I have one clothier that gets writs for Rubedo leather more than anything for months....and have a second clotheir that gets writs for silk more than any other....so for me, it balances out, LOL0

✭Before 1T rubedo was much more difficult to obtain than silk because the mobs wouldn't always drop it. They were also dropping shadow hide. So when you killed something the Chace of getting rubedo was much less.0 -

On top of that, surveys used to give 6-8 plants (silk), now they give 4 plants (silk) and 2 traps (leather). I was mostly in favor of the addition of medium mats to surveys, but didn't realize they'd be taking away light mats at the same time.0 -
Asardes✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭That's my take too. Writs should be equally spread between leather and silk. I always have an excess of leather.Beta tester since February 2014, played ESO-TU October 2015 - August 2022, currently on an extended break

✭✭✭It does seem much higher than 67%. I'm usually bone dry with Silk but have 6k leather. Hmmm.
I'd like to see Clothier nodes upped and Furrier traps removed from surveys.1 -
Rohaus✭✭✭✭✭Been doing crafting writs on multiple toons for a very long time... 2+ years... hands down ancestor silk is the quest I get way more often than rubedo... I don’t buy into the whole RNG crap.YouTube channel Rohaus Lives!

Dasovaruilos✭✭✭✭✭This is not something unkown. The Writ rotation is set and defined and some if us even pre craft wverything.
It goes:
Day 1 - Shoes, Sash, Hat (Ancestor Silk)
Day 2 - Robe, Breeches, Epaulets (Ancestor Silk)
Day 3 - Bracers, Helmet, Arm Cops (Rubedo Leather)
Nobody has a different rotation. This is the rotation for everyone if you do it every day.

Well then. I don't know why it's not more balanced. Between having twice as many silk writs, and the ease of getting rubedo with the way I play the game, I have no silk and 6k+ rubedo. Not sure why it wouldn't at least be 50/50.0 -

I agree. That is a major issue for me too, considering the Surveys you get are mostly 50/50.
I'm always at a Silk deficit too and sometimes just have to stop and go for hours shopping for good prices on traders.1 -
feyii✭✭✭✭And it's even worse, if the only surveys you get from writs are enchanter and alchemist surveys. So the supply in Ancestor Silk just sinks.0 -
randomkeyhits✭✭✭✭✭Happy with it as it is, have plenty more silk than hide.

Come on now. Acquiring/farming hides is much easier than silk. Not even close.2 -

Yes, complained in another tread about low drop chance on surveys.And it's even worse, if the only surveys you get from writs are enchanter and alchemist surveys. So the supply in Ancestor Silk just sinks.
Don't do silk writs, 50*40=2K gold, not worth it.
Grinding just make you go in circles.
