Crafting Skills Recommendations:
1. Daily Crafting Writs
Writs 101:
Daily crafting writs have the potential be be a major source of income for your characters, if you take the time to set them up properly to do so. This includes leveling them up at least to CP160, placing skill points appropriately, prepping items beforehand in your bank,and good placement of characters in a convenient area to do the writs.Once a character is set up to do daily crafting writs, it will take less than three minutes from start to finish to do everything.
The best place to do daily crafting writs is in Vivec City, Vvardenfell, due to the ideal placement of all the crafting stations, a bank out in the world, as well as a quick trip to the writ turn in location. If you do not own Morrowind, other good locations are Rawl’Kha in Reaper’s March, Elden Root in Grahtwood, and Mournhold in Deshaan.

Gold Materials:
As you get higher crafting levels and skills, you have a greater chance to acquire a gold material after finishing a daily crafting writ for that respective craft, such as Tempering Alloy for Blacksmithing, Dreugh Wax for Clothing, Rosin for Woodworking, or Kuta for Enchanting. After extensive research, the drop rate for gold materials when maxed out at lvl 50 seems to be roughly a 15%, or 1 of each per character, per week. This amounts to an additional profit of 17,750 a week.
Surveys:
You have a ~10% chance to acquire after finishing daily crafting writ, regardless of level. Approximately 5 surveys are acquired per character each week. Examples provided are the results of 7 day’s worth of surveys collected from 7 characters, all doing 7 writs each. In total, 42 surveys were collected out of 294 eligible daily crafting writ returns (provisioning writs do not give surveys), for a total percentage chance of 14% for a survey being given out.

Master Writs:
You can earn master writs from the daily crafting rewards depending on how advanced your character is in terms of knowledge on each separate crafting skill.
Clothing, blacksmithing, and woodworking is based on the amount of traits that you have researched for that skill, as well as the motifs that you have learned overall.
Jewelry Crafting is based on jewelry traits researched.
For provisioning, it is based on the total amount of purple/gold recipes known.
Enchanting is based on the total amount of runes you have translated.
Alchemy is based on the total amount of traits learned from the various reagents.
Master writs can be completed to earn lots of XP (45,000 XP per writ, before bonuses), a bit of gold (300), and most importantly, writ vouchers that you can use to purchase items from the Mastercraft and Achievement Mediators. Master writs that you earn can be of a low writ voucher value that are easy to complete, or they may be ones that require motifs or traits that you may not have for a long time. Depending on what you wish to do with them, you can complete them yourself, hold on to them to do in the future, or sell them in the guild store. You can also buy them from others through the guild store.
Writ Vouchers:
You can use your writ vouchers to purchase items from the Mastercraft and Achievement Mediators that you can then use yourself, or resell for a profit. At this time, each writ voucher is worth roughly 750 gold each, so you can purchase items with writ vouchers and then resell them for that much. For example, a 1 day Blacksmithing Research Scroll costs 3 writ vouchers, but is usually sold in guild traders for 2,500 gold each. This is a profit of approximately 766 gold per voucher, after guild taxes and listing fees. Most items that are acquired through writ vouchers will be priced at roughly the 750g/voucher mark, with the voucher/gold ratio decreasing as items become more expensive. One example is the Transmute Station (worth 1,250 tickets) which sells for about 900k gold, only has a ratio of about 660 gold/voucher after guild taxes and listing fees. To earn the most money from your writ vouchers, buy low-cost items that are bought and sold frequently, such as Research Scrolls, and sell them at the appropriate gold/voucher ratio.
