Please make JC Master writs vendor sellable, or stop rewarding them!

ZOS, can we PLEASE make JC master writs vendor sellable?? At least then they'd be worth SOMETHING. The way you have this garbage set now you immediately lose hundreds of thousands of gold in mats when you craft them (not exaggerating, craft any legendary writ now and you net lose over 200K gold). That or stop rewarding them! They are WORTHLESS!! Do you people even PLAY the game you develop? The way JC upgrade mats are acquired the masters will never, EVER be worth doing unless you pump the rewards another 30%+, and if you were gonna do that you'd have done so when you recently adjusted them.

PLEASE fix this. Doesnt take a genius to figure the math on this.

    I'm not sure which server/platform you play on, but on PC N/A a gold jewelry piece is actually closer to 400k to make in mats. (75k per chromium plate, 30k per zircon plate = 390k)

    The way jewelry crafting is now, I can never see a reason why jewelry writs would ever be worth doing.

    Xbox EU it's 100k+ per chromium plate and around 35-40k per zircon plate :sweat:

    I don't know who's buying them, but I sell them regularly in guild stores (PC NA).

    I post my JC writs for 25g per voucher on PC/NA and they sell... slowly. I suspect the buyers aren't actually doing the writs but looking to flip them to someone else who in turn will also not do them but look to flip or hoard them believing that they may get a huge payday later if the value of mats drops.

    Less than other master writs, but more than nothing.

    I sold a 300+ voucher writ for $10,000 and felt like I ripped them off!

    I have quite a few that I will not do. The cost is extreme and certainly not worth it. I just shelved them onto my Mag Sorc Banker for now.

    Chromium platings are 82Kish on NA averaged over my 5 guilds. Zircon are 28K per (and going up steadily still). 1Kish for Terne and 3300 per Iridium...and those prices are pretty steady globally. Yeah, you MIGHT find some cheaper but the odds are not in your favor....and if you do odds are a flipper beat you to the trader and bought em out to resell at market value for a profit. So with those prices you can see why legendary writs are pricing out at 415 to 430K to craft (depending on trait, which can rage anywhere from a few hundred to 17K for the mat).

    And, again, do any of them and it doesnt make sense. Would make FAR more sense to just sell the craft mats to the mathematically challenged who think JC masters ARE worth doing, and then use the proceeds to purchase smithing, clothing or woodworking writs and mats and do those. You'll end up with 50 to 80% more vouchers that way.

    No brainer. JC Masters are trash.

    there are a few epic level ones, and legendary ones that are slightly under 1k per voucher to craft, because they're 9-trait sets and rarer traits. those are the only ones that are even close to being reasonable. I have like 30 of them sitting on an alt right now, just in case the material cost comes down (it won't)

    the chromium platings should never go below ~65k each, as that would make the golden vendor worthless (it'd be cheaper to upgrade)

    The voucher value needs to be bumped up by at least another 30-50% to make them worthwhile. I actually am disappointed when I get a JC master writ :(
