Custom Writ Vouchers

Bigmatt2 · April 2022

So I was thinking a couple days ago that we should be able to create our own custom Writ Vouchers and sell them in traders.
Here me out: Say I have 500 writ vouchers in my bank. For discussion; I create a voucher for an Epic, Bloodthirsty, Twice Born Star Necklace. I could then assign from my own inventory some writ vouchers. To make it easy, I assign 100 writ vouchers. Then I could sell it in the traders for gold.

This would give another avenue to create gold from Writ Vouchers instead of the normal process of buying things from the 2 writ merchants and hope someone buys them.

Just a thought.

Or be able to sell writ vouchers outright. Like people do with crowns.

Don't think ZOS should do that. The game needs to have non-sellable currencies for any in-game activity. So players can keep doing that activity. AP, keys, transmutes, writ vouchers, etc... should stay as they are.

This seems like a complicated way of turning Writ Vouchers into gold, when the way to do that is just to buy stuff from Rolis or Faustina and then sell those. Certain things will always sell well, like the Crafting Stations (especially Attunable ones) and Gilding Wax. And unless ZOS set restrictions on them, you'd have people making ridiculously easy Writs (like a Green 3-Trait set in one of the 10 base game Styles and an easy Trait) worth potentially hundreds of Vouchers.

For people who want Writs to buy certain things, at that point it would probably be cheaper (and easier) to buy what they want from a trader. For people who want Writs to get lots of exp quickly, they'll just buy a bunch of cheaper Writs for the same price as one big one and get more exp.

Yep the moment they implemented something like this: Proceeds to mass produce easy 2 writ voucher, master writs then do them for XP during a double XP event, just keeps recycling the vouchers in my stockpile over and over never having to buy anymore from guild stores again.

But you could say well don't have them reward the same amount of XP as the normal ones.

At which point I think people will largely ignore them, since they are doing the writs for: The vouchers, to buy stuff off the 2 vendors for personal use or to sell and the XP.

Not to say no one will do them but those regularly doing writs are not just going to give away their vouchers on something that may or may not sell, when they already have things they can sell without needing to go through extra steps from the 2 vendors.

Same with the people buying them, depending on how easy or hard the custom voucher is, and the mats required to complete it, it would probably end up being cheaper just to buy the item they are looking for straight off traders.

And often enough those looking for those items often don't have the craft skills leveled or the requirements unlocked or the necessary mats on hand to do the master writs in the first place, some do have all the requirements but just cant be bothered doing the master writs as well, which is why they are using gold in the first place.
