Did anything change with survey drop rates?

Might be a coincidence but I did the crafting writs on 6 characters and didn't get a single survey...which seems a bit odd... did stackable surveys mess anything up?

✭✭✭✭✭Not on my end, I receive them just as usual"We are currently investigating connection issues some players are having on the European megaservers. We will update as new information becomes available."
— They always claim they’re “investigating” the causes, but in reality they’re just waiting until the PC EU players go to bed. Once that happens, you can suddenly log in again and they happily mark the issue as Fixed.0 -

ellmarie✭✭✭✭I've been getting piddly writs for the last year. Hardly get them and when I do they are only, 2-7 per. I haven't spent any of them because of the lack. And gold ones, pffft.Xbox X- NA0

scrappy1342✭✭✭✭✭there's a few other posts that zos has responded to. drops with the surveys and writs got messed up with the patch and they said they would fix it in a future incremental patch. i think it was woodworking and clothing that weren't dropping at all? they were dropping writs instead. for ppl who aren't even maxed in professions, they are getting master writs.pcna3 -
Ilumia✭✭✭✭✭Good with some information on this, I have only gotten one survey since the update, and thought it must be bygged.
I only daily craft on one character, so it's difficult to gather good data to support any conclusions over such a short time.0 -

Aylish✭✭✭✭✭Woodworking and clothier are bugged and cannot drop. It seems like you get the respective writ instead.
The other surveys seem fine and just as before.0 -

7 characters done daily since the update but did patch daily writs before patch, so I've missed one set after patch. Not a single clothier or woodworking survey they are indeed bugged sadlyEdited by Bloodgetter1223 on August 21, 2025 12:08PM0 -

✭✭I have only one toon, so I only do 7 crafting dailies per day. Prior to U47 I used to get one or two survey maps a day. There would be occassional days were I wouldn't get a drop.
After 4 days, 28 crafting dailies, since the update I am yet to get a new survey drop.

That’s because (as mentioned above) for two crafts the game is giving you a master writ whenever it rolls for a survey.1 -
