Can't pick up my alchemy writs.

    After yesterday's maintenance the bug still exists. Encountered it this morning.

    As it turns out I am significantly more likely to encounter the bug a day after maintenance because maintenance takes place in the time slot where I usually do my daily writs - more so when as it has become custom it gets extended by several hours, which means more often than not I need to 'grab and dash' or forfeit.

    Turns out that when it comes to Alchemy 'grab and dash' and 'forfeit' are one and the same thing.

    Any news about this @ZOS_Kevin ? It has been months now...

    How is it a bug though, they intended we should only be able to do one alchemy writ per day, even if we still had yesterdays, and that is what happened. They need to go fix the exploit with the armory station, and return the alchemy timer to its normal way of working. I doubt they will bother, easier to just rob us of an alchemy writ we should have been able to do.

    This still hasn't been fixed. Can't do my 2 days worth of alchemy writs but I can for everything else. Can this be fixed instead of pushing u35?

    I sometimes don't have a lot of time, so I'll pick up writs and do two sets the next day.

    I haven't gotten any extra sets of alchemy writs before the maintenance, or anything like that.

    Now, I'm doing my old writs, and when I go to pick up the new ones, I can pick up everything BUT alchemy...

    I see that they've adjusted something in the patch notes about alchemy writs, but have they buggered something up again?

    This implied a quick and dirty fix to an exploit allowing people to do multiple writs per day.

    The result is that you must do the alchemy writ before reset or it's lost. If you do the writ before reset, you will be able to do the next day's writ. You can no longer save them.

    On a related note, they did a similar quick and dirty fix for treasure maps which resulted in the maps no longer stacking... but I digress.

    They also did a similar quick and dirty fix that resulted on items not stacking in guild banks as you deposited them.

    Really grateful they fixed it because that would have gotten old fast... oh wait...

    This issue is finally fixed in Update 36:

    I guess we should be grateful it wasn't allowed to persist indefinitely like the bug to Dungeon Finder that breaks your group on port into the dungeon or some such.

    Anyway, thanks ZOS for finally going back and addressing this.

    Hi all. Thanks for flagging this for us. We're have passed this thread over to the dev team to investigate. So if there is any additional information, please feel free to share. We'll follow up once we have more information.

    I can confirm that this bug is still present, as of 9/29/2022

    Hah, nice that it is being fixed in U36 though! lol >.<

    Fortunately I intended on testing this since getting back into doing writs by holding my alchemy writ on just one character, rather than all 12.
