With the price of upgrading mats constantly going up, there are very few master writs even worth doing anymore. A lot of gold writs just barely hit at 1k gold to 1 voucher now. Nobody buys anything from the master writ vendor at 1k per voucher. Jewelry crafting writs have always been meme levels of bad with some of them costing 800k to make and returning 200-300 vouchers. Are the voucher rewards ever going to be adjusted? 95% of gold master writs flat out aren't worth doing anymore. Even most of the purple ones aren't worth doing.
A static reward system is never going to work when the price of materials is dynamic. There should at least be a sweep done to bring the rewards more in line with the current state of the game.

The prices for items from the voucher vendor have gone up as well in the last few months, from about 600g/voucher to about 850g/voucher.
I am still able to make some very nice profit doing many purple blacksmithing/clothing master writs, and gold blacksmithing/woodworking, and even some profit on blue/purple jewelry master writs.
I've been selling all my alchemy/enchanting master writs because people pay upwards of 3000 g/voucher for them because they use them for leveling.
You just have a lagging variable reward (in what you can sell for vouchers) from master writs which require variable priced items, there's a time delay.
There are no "800k" jewelry master writs that return 200 vouchers. The smallest legendary are over 500 vouchers each.
Purple (which would cost about 150-200k) are the ones that return 200 vouchers

I dont know what server you play on, but you arent even getting 800g:1 on a lot of purples anymore on PC NA besides clothing. As far as "the smallest ones giving 500", that is just flat out incorrect
Not that your case would help any either. 500 vouchers for 800k spent is horrendous.
Purple clothing and half of the purple blacksmithing writs are the only ones worth doing anymore. Nirnhoned golds and a handful of others are the only gold ones not worth throwing in the dumpster. The rest are straight trash

It literally doesnt matter because, as stated, even if it was worth 500 vouchers it would still be utter trash. 700 vouchers and it would STILL be utter trash. Purple jewelry writs are up to 180k to craft now which puts them at 900g : 1. Even if we give you your 850g :1, which isnt true, you are at a loss to breaking even. You are at a loss to breaking even on the vast majority of gold writs. Why would anyone want to break even to buy something that is going to take 10 times longer to sell than the mats you used? There really needs to be a dynamic system that controls the vouchers because bumping something from trash to still trash once is all we're going to get with a static system governed by a dynamic market.

Okay, so hand pick the worst possible case from each one... I never said that gold jewelry master writs were worth doing... so why are you screaming at me like I said that?
I on the other hand will just pick some that are in my guild bank waiting for me to do! (I don't have a ton sadly, I just did 150 of them 2 days ago... already have sold the 8 attunable stations I was able to buy) Spent about 1.2 million in materials I already had from doing writs and got back about 1.7 million from selling all of them (The 7% tax can be taken from both numbers if I had "sold" the mats instead in the guild store, it's a net wash). I'm okay with me still getting about a 30% profit margin from them. (Yes, I don't do gold jewelry master writs, I don't do most purple jewelry, I don't do most blue jewelry, I don't do any gold clothing (unless they're nirn), and I will selectively get rid of some over priced gold blacksmithing/woodworking if they're too expensive.)
Here's a non-Nirnhoned gold blacksmithing about 100 g/voucher profit, so a nice 12k profit for doing it.
Here's a non-ninhoned purple blacksmithing about a 500 g/voucher profit, only 3.5k here, but you get a few of them
Provisioning - nice 600 g/voucher profit, 1.2k each
And a gold woodworking - about 150g/voucher profit - 8.2k profit
Yes, you would lose some if you had to buy the materials, because now you have to worry about the 7% tax. But if you earn all your materials and master writs from doing daily writs (and you'll have PLENTY) you don't have to worry about that 7%
(BTW, I'm in the guild that's behind your screenshot you posted... those attunable stations were up for usually about 12 hours for me to turn them around in there).
