Well, recently, I was able to sell a crafting table with some master writs that I had saved. But I've been thinking about ways to turn this into some profit, and I realize that it might not be worth it given the high prices of materials nowadays. Any of you guys seeing returns from this? Is it even worth doing?
Let's just break down the basic prices:
Writs (legendary) clothing: Dreugh Wax (8), which will cost an average of over 320k~ for a single book that will give some amount of vouchers.
Writ (legendary) blacksmithing: Tempering Alloy (8), an average of 200k~ per writ book.
Maybe master writs for woodworking might still somehow be worth it. However, the other master writs use resources like Perfect Roe, Chromium plating, and Zircon plating.
Assuming you make a crafting table using 250 vouchers and would sell it for 600k, at the end of the day, I don't see how all of this would be worth the risk x return.
I thought of sharing all this to get opinions from others, as I feel like I might not be seeing the full picture.

Some are, some aren't.
I've long not done any gold clothing, hakeijo enchanting, perfect roe provisioning master writs.
Other enchanting, provisioning, and many alchemy (non-violet coprinus) are only 200-500g/voucher to do, thus selling for 2.4k per voucher is a huge profit.
Some of the other durable goods ones are in the 1.3k-2k per voucher to craft, so they're worth.
This also depends on how you get your materials for them. If you're having to buy everything (including the master writs), there isn't much profit. But getting the master writs yourself, getting the materials from other sources can make it a very viable way to make a lot of gold.
(I have sold on the order of 2,000 attunable stations over my crafting lifetime, there can be a ton of profit in it, done right.)

Thank you for the insights. But wow... 2000 attunable stations, lol. Really didn't expect someone to capitalize on that.
Anyway... What makes me question if master writs are really worth it is also the fact that the materials you would use to complete them are worth much more when sold separately. I also considered the possibility of collecting the materials instead of buying them, but I came to the same conclusion that it's much more profitable to sell the materials. Things like Tempering Alloy, Dreugh Wax, Perfect Roe, etc. This is not related to your response, but rather some thoughts I had that serve as a critique to the game itself, as this dynamic doesn't seem to make much sense. It would basically be generating a loss for yourself.
But you mentioned something interesting there. So, you can earn enough vouchers to buy attunable stations only from writs that pay lower voucher values? Because after your response, I got curious and couldn't find a writ like that. After your response, I checked some trade guilds more thoroughly, and I must confess I couldn't find any of these writs for less than 10-20k.
