She hardly has any motifs. Is it worth it to do writs on her too or is it a waste of mats?

Not an entire waste of mats if you don’t get a master writ. You’ll still get the regular writ rewards which might have a survey, intricates for alts, repair kits, etc.

It’s probably worth doing the writs on alts. Aside from the master writ rewards, thenother rewards make them pretty profitable. I haven’t calculated it in a while, but the average writ used to profit like $2300 considering the full reward package.

Regarding master writs, some players have done the dirty (and insane) work of recording their drops on thousands of writs across all their characters. I won’t bore you with the math...you can search the forums and find their spreadsheets if you want.

The bottom line is that a “medium” knowledge crafter, defined as a character that learns a few motifs here and there but knows barely any, and then invests in trait research to get to the point of a ~6 trait character on average...these characters earn about half the writ vouchers a master crafter like your main does. And the way the two types (master and medium) earn them is that they get close to the same number of quests, it’s just the masters get a higher frequency of legendary item quests and that pushes ups their average.

I train all my alts in trait research to 8 traits...I just do it casually over time. So I now have 11 alt crafters with 8 trait knowledge who know few motifs. And they all return a ton of master writ quests. So many that I sell them for gold so I don’t have to do 30 of them for 150 vouchers...I sell the 30, buy one legendary quest and do it that way. I lose a little gold, but...meh.
