Maintenance for the week of November 4:
• PC/Mac: No maintenance – November 4

Do you think that motifs (including dlc motifs) should be buyable with writs?

Simple thing: to make master writ vouchers tradeable for various motifs.

    Why, i'm not saying that they shouldn't but i don't see a good reason why they should?

    Certain motifs have such low drops that you can go months without ever seeing them in guild traders.

    Personally, I like the current system where a few select motifs are available for vouchers (Ebony; Glass is coming soon).

    But if all were available through vouchers then no one would do game content any more.

    Master crafters need more variety of rewards for vouchers ... that’s certain.

    But which "few select"?

    I hate the way that glass has been undermined with successive "initiatives", the latest being sold in the crown store - while glass fragments were given as a "reward" in writs (though after collecting 10 you still had to buy the glue, and then play the RNG because you never knew what you were going to get).

    I'm missing some odd pages here and there. I know it's my fault, but I have no desire to go and farm for a specific motif page... I'm working on getting all the Clockwork City ones before the next DLC comes out!

    But then I wouldn't want to see complete books available for vouchers...

    Maybe something like transmutation - hand in a page and some vouchers and get the page you need from the same motif.

    The whole rarity of some motif's like Buoyant Armiger put's my knickers in a twist as a crafter.

    Def that as a major contributor as well.

    I could see them adding new motifs to the writ vendor in the future, but I'm not sure which of the current ones could/should be added. I guess ones like BA or others that drop from chests, but I can't see them putting in the ones that drop from dungeons/trials or the ones purchasable with AP.

    I would like a way to get motifs besides grinding for weeks, only to get a page you already know, and writs sound like a good idea to me.

    If you don't get a motif right when it launches, after a while not enough people are farming it to find in guild stores, and ZOS will lower the drop rate. Try running dailies for Draugr now... I have gone literally a month running 6 dailies every day and not one single page drop. Same with Minotaur and Order of the Hour (but only run 4 dailies for Gold Coast). That is a ridiculous amount of grind, and it's rare to find pages at a guild trader.

    Almost a year and doing the dailies constantly and still don't have it all.
