Don't DLC zones not have crafting turn in spots, like S. Elsweyr doesn't either iirc. Probably a hold over from when you had to turn them in to a specific location depending on your crafting level and alliance.

I did a bit of digging around on UESP, and prior to Update 16 (Clockwork City) you had to turn in writs at a specific location depending on the level of the writ. So, for example, I remember when I was just learning crafting, I had to turn in writs in Stonefalls, but once I maxed out my crafting I turned them in in Craglorn. Incidentally, I took a break from the game right before Clockwork City dropped and when I came back it took me a while to realize that I could do and turn in writs anywhere.

These zone specific drop offs matched the way you were meant to progress prior to One Tamriel, and how you still progress through the main story of each faction. I suppose this started changing with the DLCs, and then after the Morrowind chapter changed the tutorial and Vvardenfell became like a starting zone where people could level up instead of the starter island progression, it just made the most sense to make all crafting turn-ins everywhere. Because the chapter zones are so big and offer(ed) new tutorials (prior to Blackwood), it makes sense that they would have a full set of crafting writ boards and turn in locations so that new players could learn the crafting professions without being sent all over the map. The only odd-man-out is Orsinium, but people generally agree that Orsinium was like a chapter before the chapter system was developed, and I'm not sure about the evolution of crafting writs there. And again, the first part is what I found/remember, the second is how I understand from an outside perspective. The more serious long term players and crafters can probably weigh in with better insight.

ps sorry if that's a bit rambly
Edit: Oh, and silly me, I missed where Bowd put the CWC thing right on his page too! Opps Hope that makes sense as an explanation though.

Imagine Senchal, Markarth, CWC, Limoth as nice turn in spots. I'd move my chars to those too!

ESO’s version of Markarth is so cool with all the Reach aesthetic. I’d love to make it a crafting hub. Murkmire and S. Elsweyr would be nice as well.

Are you talking about master writs? Because regular daily crafting writs can be turned in in the main DLC cities. I did mine and turned them in in Senchal today, since I was there anyway. But I agree it would be great to be able to turn master writs in everywhere you can turn daily crafting writs in — that would save a lot of traveling around the map.

...where in Senchal? I've never seen a DLC zone to have the regular "boxes" to hand in writs, only chapters.

Totally agree, it would bring some life to places that are virtually dead like Wrothgar and bring some extra new life in places like Abahs Landing that are relatively quiet. I would love to see this happen, maybe a special update where they could even play it in as Rolis has expanded his writ services and dailies can now be turned in at all major cities in each zone. Good thread @StarOfElyon
