To all crafters

if you do writs on 18 max level crafters all week, will you get the same amount of materials or more back than you used to do the writs? With surveys and return materials, it seems likely, but I thought I'd rather ask here than do a couple weeks of testing.

✭✭✭✭✭yeah, it fills up rather quickly so having ESO+ is necessary if you do that on that many characters. And you have to calculate for about 2.5-3 hours to do all the writs with that many characters. Currently much more due to long loading screens.0 -

Mancombe_Nosehair✭✭✭✭✭You certainly don't need plus if you are on pc, with the add-ons.
One trick is to do the master crafter last, opening the mail for every character with the master crafter.
Having one character just to hold provisioning and unusual style mats near the end is also very useful.
Dustman, lazy writ writer are your friends. You just need to be organised and think logically.2 -

So playing the inventory management game - to save lousy 40 cents per day for being too greedy to pay for ESO+.2 -

It is entirely my choice over what I spend my money on, just as it is your choice on what to spend yours on etc. I would advise against telling people how and where to spend their money.
Of course, having plus makes it easier, but it is by no means essential, regardless of what others write on the forum.
The choice is theirs, and theirs alone.5 -

✭✭✭✭✭Depends on the craft. Clothier, blacksmithing, woodworking, probably jewellery crafting, if you factor in the surveys, you certainly generate a surplus. For alchemy, you'll run a deficit of the ingredients you have to turn in with the potions/poisons, specifically mudcrab chitin which doesn't drop from surveys. Enchanting keeps asking for the same runes, so unless you're getting them from other sources I think you also run a deficit. Same with provisioning, though with maxed passives you only need to use ¼ the amount of ingredients.
That said, when you factor in the gold you get, it's more than enough to replace any materials used, and that's not even counting master writs which you can also sell if not doing then yourself. Writs, especially max level ones, are a money printer. I stopped doing them because I couldn't bear logging in to 10 characters every day anymore.1 -

At if you say to those peeps, listen, I'll pay you 40 cents a day to do the same on my chars because I'm lazy, I'll not write here what the response would be cos it is not allowed by forum rules, but still they do the same to themselves for same 40 cents a day.
Regardless of this particular subject. Some people have a hard time to distinguish where is a smart to save a money and where is not.
For example some will not pay sub for the game they play a lot, and will slave with micromanagement every day but are ok with buying smokes or drinking or whatever.Edited by RefLiberty on May 1, 2020 2:49PM0 -
Mancombe_Nosehair✭✭✭✭✭Alchemy at level 1 will replenish the mats you use, but as @daemonios wrote, there is a shortage at the top level of it.
Jewellery and enchanting tend to run out of mats at all levels, but the surveys should get most of them back.0 -

✭✭I seem to be running about even, but my crew is deconstructing (on lowest level character for inspiration when needed, or else highest, for max returns) which feeds back materials as well, rather than gathering the surveys as we go. They tend to get accumulated, since they stack in the bank, and done a bunch at a time for efficiency.
The surveys get used mostly when I'm short of upgrade materials, specifically the purple ones Grain Solvent, Elegant Lining and Mastic, which get used by ALL the master writs. You either stop at purple, or need it before you do gold. The style materials for rare motifs can be an issue, too. Deconstructing is the ONLY way to get some of those.0 -

Yeah I'm just not a fan of paying a monthly amount for a game. I don't come from an mmo background, and have no interest in paying over and over for it when I don't need to.
I have however paid about 12m in gold for stuff from the clown store, so others have been paying on my behalf;)
I like holidays:)2
