Have Daily Writs changed?

Last week I logged in very quickly to pick up (but not complete) the Daily Writs. My intention was to log in yesterday and complete the writs then pick up the 'new' writs for that day. I've done this in the past and it's been fine. But when I tried to do that yesterday (after the maintenance), the only Daily I could pick up again was the Alchemist Writ.

Is this how it is now?

    On PS4/5 NA I was doing mine just fine after the update. Not sure today.

    It hasn't changed. Is it possible that you already had the quests for the others?

    Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear. Previously you could pick up the Daily Writs and not do them that day. You could then log in (next day) and you would be able to complete these Daily Writs (from yesterday) and THEN go back and pick up the Daily Writs for that day.

    Last week I picked the Writs up but didn't do them (so they were in my 'quests' in the journal). Yesterday I completed the writs (from last week) but when I went to pick up the 'new' writs for that day - I could only get the Alchemist writ.

    Hope that makes more sense? I will try it again tonight, pick them up and not complete them - then log in tomorrow and see what happens.

    That only works within a day or two. If you picked up writs last week, there is a strong chance that the writs are the exact same as the ones that were available today. And you can only do one writ of a certain crafting set per day.

    So, if you picked up the writs last night, the writs today would be completely different and you could do them again today.

    For example, "Craft 3 Rings".

    If you picked that up last week and waited to do them today and today's jewelry craft was also "Craft 3 Rings" you would have already done that writ type today and would be unable to pick it up again. But, if you picked up "Craft a Necklace and a Ring" then you'd be able to do that today and pick up and do "Craft 3 Rings".

    Yup, as AzuraFan and jaws343 said, my guess is that the writs (from last week) were the same ones being given out the day you turned them in. It makes sense you could only pick up alchemy. All writs are on a 3 day cycle except alchemy, which is on a 4 or 8 day cycle. So if you picked up writs and then did them 3, 6, or 9 days later you won't be able to do the current set, except alchemy.
