ESO: Turn Writ Vouchers into Gold

What Is Writ Voucher

In The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO), Master Writs represent high-level crafting quests that unlock a valuable currency: Writ Vouchers. These vouchers can then be exchanged for a variety of items which can be a great source of income if you know how to use them.

Daily Writs

Daily Writs are crafting quests that can be repeated each day. Completing these offers experience, crafting inspiration, and a chance to obtain various rewards. These rewards can include recipes, materials, and, most importantly, Master Writs. Daily Writs provide a solid foundation for progressing your crafting skills and potentially earning the more lucrative Master Writs.

Master Writs

Master Writs, similar to Daily Writs, are crafting quests that require you to create specific items. However, Master Writs present a more significant challenge, often requiring intricate recipes, higher quality materials, and specific crafting styles and traits. Successful completion of these challenging writs rewards you with Writ Vouchers, a currency you can use to acquire valuable goods from specific vendors.

How to Make Gold with Master Writs 

Be Mindful of Your Crafting Costs

When seeking to generate income from Master Writs, it’s essential to carefully analyze the cost of crafting the required items. Before undertaking a Master Writ, estimate the total material cost. Then, compare this figure with the number of Writ Vouchers the completed writ will yield. This allows you to assess whether the writ is profitable or if the material costs outweigh the voucher reward.

• Evaluate material costs against voucher rewards.
• Don’t rely solely on add-on data for market analysis.

Which Master Writs Are Worth Completing

The value of specific Master Writs can vary. Generally, Gold-quality Woodworking and Blacksmithing writs tend to be profitable, particularly on PC NA. Purple-quality Clothing and Blacksmithing writs can also be good options. However, factors like the cost of style materials must be considered. Expensive style materials like Hackwing Plumage can significantly impact profitability, so choose your Master Writs wisely.

• Gold Woodworking and Blacksmithing writs are often lucrative.
• Purple Clothing and Blacksmithing can be worthwhile.
• Factor in the cost of style materials.

Best Ways to Convert Your Writ Vouchers into Gold

Which Master Writs Are Worth Doing

Choosing the right items to purchase with Writ Vouchers is key to maximizing profits. Consider three main factors:

• Speed of Sale: Faster sales mean quicker gold and available guild store slots.
• Profit Margin: Aim for items that yield a high gold return.
• Reliability: Items with predictable outcomes are preferable to those with random results.

A general rule of thumb is to aim for at least 1,000 gold per Writ Voucher spent (on PC NA).

Sell DLC Furnishing Plans for Gold

Purchasing Master Furnisher’s Documents, which contain random furnishing plans from various DLC zones, is one method. Morrowind plans tend to be scarcer and thus potentially more valuable. Plans from newer DLCs are generally more common. Selling rarer items allows for more pricing flexibility, as there’s less competition. Keep in mind that “Furnishing Folios” contain static plans, whereas “Furnisher’s Documents” contain random plans.

• Morrowind furnishing plans are generally rarer.
• Newer DLC plans are more abundant.
• Scarcity allows for higher pricing.

Sell Attunable Crafting Stations for Gold

Another popular method involves purchasing Attunable Crafting Stations using Writ Vouchers and then selling them for gold. This method offers greater certainty, as there’s no random element involved. Crafting stations usually sell quickly, especially when new DLCs featuring new craftable sets are released. To ensure a quick sale, list them at popular guild traders where they will have more visibility.

• A reliable method with no random elements.
• Crafting stations sell relatively quickly.
• Demand spikes with new DLC releases.

Sell Research Scrolls for Gold

While selling Research Scrolls may not be as lucrative as selling furnishing plans or crafting stations, it’s still a viable option, especially for those with fewer Writ Vouchers. Like crafting stations, Research Scrolls also tend to sell relatively fast. Many players use these scrolls to expedite their trait research process, making them a consistently sought-after item. This can provide a reliable, if smaller, income stream.

• Less profitable but still viable.
• Scrolls sell relatively quickly.
• Useful for players speeding up trait research.
