Jewelcraft Masters are less than STILL worthless

The JC update for masters rewards was a total waste of their time. I just got an epic that gives 30 vouchers. GREAT! But even with reduced upgrade cost it takes 68K gold in mats to craft whats needed. Not anywhere even remotely close to worth it.
Honestly ZOS, you should have saved yourselves some time and labor costs and just removed them from the game.

✭✭✭True. And what conceivable justification could there be for leaving the prior, even more worthless ones, as-is?
The itemization team once again proves with resounding success that they are not even remotely familiar with playing this game.
I've had 5 crafters doing all writs every day since Summerset launched. 2 almost have all traits researched, will be done in a week with their last trait. I have five chromium grains after farming every day, doing writs, etc. 5.12 -

IMHO that’s the biggest pain point with RNG, it all averages out over time, but short term it just looks so inconsistent.
On Saturday I farmed blacksmithing nodes in Orsinium, refining just over 1000 platinum, and got zero chromium grains. On Sunday, I only had time to farm and refine 200 platinum but actually got two chromium grains!

✭There will be price corrections as the supply of jewelry mats is going up, since they reduced the number of mats required to upgrade them. Give it time and we will eventually see if it is worth it.At least 3 of each class. PVPing Since IC.5 -
Panomania✭✭✭✭Sorry, but I simply cannot see upgrade prices changing a ton. Yes, slightly more dusts in supply because you have a chance for ONE dust from ore nodes, but you also will see less supply of terne, iridium and zircon because you can no longer get them from dailies. And I dont think we'll see a mass swell of people harvesting and selling much more for JC mats any time soon, and even if we do the lower upgrade costs will increase demand for these mats.
Bottom line, JC master writs are still broken. We're at best WELL over 2K cost per voucher, and every other trade skill master is at MOST 500 cost per voucher (and most are 200 to 300 tops).The opinions of others should always be heard, especially if they dont agree with your own! But you always reserve the right to laugh at them.3 -

This one I have to give to them. The generation process for these writs probably makes them essentially unique, meaning they'd have to go in and edit individual writs manually. Not that it can't be done, but the labor cost would be extravagant.
Mind you, that's just speculation, but it seems likely enough that I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt."A probable impossibility is preferable to an improbable possibility." - Aristotle0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Jewelry crafting was broken the moment submats were introduced to platings. Traits are also largely inacessible as sets still only drop in arcane, robust, and healthy... with an added complication of trait stones often having submats too. I still have yet to craft a single piece of jewelry for myself. Or upgrade any jewelry. The coming changes will help, but still not put jewelrycrafting on par with other professions. It's too bad.12 -

Dang I thought I was doing bad, I've got 35 chromium grains since jewelry launched. I've gotten most of that from refining dust from the jewelry surveys from 15 characters though. And to be 100% honest, I've not collected all of my jewelry surveys yet.
The daily writs need to provide dust and not ingots as a possible reward. That way we have another chance of improvement mats during refining.The Vegemite Knight

DorianDragonRaze✭✭✭✭Good thing I level my jewelry skills just by deconstructing the shiny things. I aleady have maxed the passive to make the most efficient decon and refine. Gradually gathering nodes and collecting mats to improve a few purple rings later. Researching traits to get achievements and bought the crafting station for my home because it looks nice.
So I enjoy jewelry a lot overall. Although I wasn't going to bother to even pass the jewelry certification, and from what I read here I don't think that I'll care about making a jewelry writ any time soon.Edited by DorianDragonRaze on August 14, 2018 2:15AMI used to be an adventurer like you, then I got the ESO on my hard drive...0 -

The lowest-level jewelry writs are still worth doing and should result in a tidy profit every week. Just don't do anything higher than the level 1 writs and you'll be good to go.Men'Do PC NA AD Khajiit

Aeslief✭✭✭✭✭Unless the material requirement is five times smaller or the payout is five times larger, I still don’t see any reason to do jewelrycrafting Master writs if you need vouchers when the other skills are so much cheaper. I got an epic writ for 72 vouchers yesterday that I’m not going to do. I don’t even have enough purple platings to craft the furnishings I want, let alone make a single piece of purple jewelry for any of my characters. Jewelrycrafting Master writs might as well not exist.4

That’s precisely the problem. We do want to play this game, not spend every hour grinding for jewelry upgrade materials (which is what you have to do unless you are ultra-rich). With all the other professions, I can play the game as I like and still utilize the systems. That has not happened with jewelry crafting. I can’t gather enough mats during my usual gameplay to do anything worthwhile with the system. Perhaps that was intentional, but it looks like bad design to me.6 -

✭I've done writs since Summerset launch (7 characters) I've got well over 10k ounces of assorted refined metals after everything I've used to do writs and I just made my 6th Gold plating. So 100K++ dust refined and the occasional reward from dailies to get 600 grains.
I only refine with one maxed out character so highest chance to get them from refining and I've not used or sold a single gold plate.
I did finish 9 traits on both styles the day Wolfhunter was released, but that was with help from ingame research scrolls from the writ vendor.Proud member of the Psijic Order - The first wave - The 0.016%0 -

I mean golding out jewelry that you use is a lot different then doing it for master writs. One has value for your character and you do for personal and game play reasons, but master writs are a currency. If the currency doesn't have a similar value as the other currencies (gold) why would you bother? Most of these people aren't complaining, they'rew just letting zos no that the conversion rate still isn't right and that the "fix" didn't fix anything.3 -

Congrats? Did you read the post or just come to try and brag? Nobody cares about your gold jewelry. What we care about is that the Jewelry master writs that they JUST updated are still worthless. The cost per voucher is 3 times the going buy price in the market, and more like 7-8 times the cost of other trades. It makes no sense. It's a mistake on ZOS's end that needs fixing (again). They are worthless rewasrds. It has nothing to do with your gold jewelry.11 -
