Writ voucher seller update of available furniture plans: When?

AnduinTryggva · December 22

Dawnwood recipes are still extremely rare drops, prices not dropping and far beyond my means, so I ask: When can we purchase them at the writ voucher?

I have a project for a dawnwood house but cannot do it because I still miss so many plans and so for me it is essential to know when I finally can start with that project for which I need these recipes.

Buying these furniture or recipes from guild stores is a no as I don't have riches and I need that bit of money for mats.

I also wonder how we gonna get access to reasonably priced green plans considering that the newer dawnwood plans in green cost well beyond 100k in guild stores... which is a really insane price. And I wonder why ZOS made it that way. Do they not want us to have these plans except of the few elect who either have huge money or huge amounts of time to farm or who are not interested in anything else than farming?

(ppl who spend a lot of time farming will not play trials or dungeons or battle ground so making things so hard to grind reduces available players for other activities. Don't understand what trade-off ZOS applies here)

Do you mean when they'll put the Dawnwood plans in whatshername's stock as a specific group you can pull from exclusively? Wouldn't they technically get put with the "main" blueprint group for Gold Road as a whole? If that's the case I imagine they'd make that a Gold Road category next year at some point, because I THINK all plans that drop within a current Chapter get put in her stock at the start of a new Chapter release. I could be wrong about that but it seems to have been the trend.

The random furnishing envelopes are typically either blue or purple plans or a mix of the two.

They generally go to writ vouchers when they release the next chapter. But this year we will have no chapter so we will see how it goes.

probably update 47, if 2025 still has quarterly updates except we dont know if it does.
So there is no way to know.

it'll happen eventually! i hope soon

The green plans will probably be like Murkmire greens that stayed at the 100k+ prices for a long time. The only way to get them will be to farm them unless things are changed from the way they have been in the past.

The Murkmire ones were so expensive because there were so few places to farm them. West Weald has some great furnishing farm spots (if these new ones drop from containers, I don't remember!), so I would expect them to go down over the next few months.

That is true, the zone had much fewer containers. Still, I don’t think there are as many people playing now as there were then, at least on my server, and I did some farming and didn’t get any of the new Dawnwood plans, they are super rare.

Dunno but to be honest this kind of things get me turning away.

Ok to put some effort in obtaining them. But not only were Dawnwood plans already rare from the start the decision to have a first small batch of the plans release and then the large batch is making things even worse. Because now those folks who have farmed from the start will have already a few of the plans of the first batch. Now they want to farm the new batch plans but they now have an increased chance to get plans from the first batch as well further lowering the chances of a drop from the new batch.

I regularly farm the inn and while initially there had been a lot of people farming there I often are alone there or with one or two more people. This means most people just gave up (understandably) and I am on the brick of doing it. This means that I won't build my dawnwood-style home as I am not going to buy for green plans WELL above 100+ I hence won't invest in appropriate homes of course either...

I dunno but I am certain this is part of the things that make ppl leave.

A lot of collectors enjoy the farming time it takes. It feels very rewarding when you finally get that plan that you've been searching for.

I personally love the hunt for these plans, and it would feel cheapened if they made it too easy right off the bat.

Dunno. There is surely a threshold beyond which even you would consider it frustrating.

Consider farming 100 hours without a drop of one of the sought plans fun? 1000 hours? 10000 hours?

We are not talking about minutes but about hours and with the current system you might as well farm 1 trillion hours before a desired plan drops because it is fully random and chances per container does not increase the more container you open.

No, that kind of system is for many players and I might predict for the vast majority of players unfun - unless you are only out for selling these for much money. Then you don't care if you get a rare drop twice or a rare drop that you did not get before. You just sell it for insane amounts and enjoy the money that comes in while many players will just have to sit and see what they never will be able to purchase because it is beyond their means.
