Just taking a moment to say thanks for some small changes that I appreciate.

Writ Reward Improvements
Material Shipments received from Writ Rewards have been revamped!
Instead of only receiving material from a lower tier than your crafting passive rank, you will now receive a distribution of materials with the majority of the materials being for your current material tier based on passive rank.
You will also receive a small amount of material for your next tier to allow you to stockpile a bit in advance so when you rank up, you will have the materials you need to keep going.
You will still receive a small amount of materials randomly chosen from a previous tier in order to support making equipment for lower level characters.

I never expected this. I always thought we were supposed to bleed ourselves dry everyday with crafting writs, then go farm for materials so we could craft again the next day. Thank you for the sustenance.

New Motif
The Honor Guard Motif is currently available to test from character templates, and will begin dropping on the Live megaservers on May 15, 2019 from completing Blackrose Prison.

Thank you for letting us earn this and not making it a crown exclusive.

First, there's the new Stupendous Jester's Festival Box. This reward box can only be earned once per day, per account, per each of the three Jester's Festival quests.
These Stupendous boxes contain additional rewards, above and beyond those found in the average Jester's Festival Box - such as Runeboxes and Runebox Fragments, valuable items to sell to vendors, and the new Outfit Style Pages for Cadwell's Weapons!

New earnable weapon styles are always welcome, even if they are randomly earned (also purchasable with event tickets).

There are also Revelry Pies, found in all Jester's Festival Boxes (Stupendous or not). These consumables can be thrown at friend and foe alike. However, their filling is as mysterious as it is delicious, changing to banana, blueberry, or strawberry based on your Alliance!
While throwing pies is fun for its own sake, you can now also earn the Obnoxious Mute Face Paint for doing so! Just complete the "Dessert Domination" achievement.

A face paint we can earn by throwing pies at people? Thank you.

Alchemy
Reduced the requested count of alchemical objects from Rolis Hlaalu's Masterful Concoction quests to 16 from 20, just to make it a nice round number of crafting actions for either potions or poisons.

It always bothered me having extra poisons left over, thank you.

Crafting
Added the ability to preview Outfit Style pages at vendors.

Helpful. Thank you.

Lastly not directly related to crafting, but the update to the Guild Trader UI will be extremely helpful. Thank you.
