Tradeskill Writs

Tradeskill Writs are a special type of tradeskill based quests that can be taken in order to earn coin, tradeskill XP*, Status, and Faction. Writs come in 2 types, "Work Orders" and "Rush Orders". The former being untimed, the latter requesting half as many crafts, but a time limit is imposed.

You cannot obtain a Work order until you have fully specialized in a crafting profession, which occurs when you hit a crafting level of 20.

* you are not awarded any extra tradeskill experience by completing the writ, just what ever you earned while making the requested items**

** this will be changing in an upcoming LU, estimated at 37

Starting
In each cities tradeskill instance (or tradeskill area for the outdoor cities) there will be 2 NPC's that offer writs. All work orders come from 1 npc, and rush from another. Their purpose is listed beneith their name in the standard tag

After talking with the npc and accepting the quest, the writ does not begin until you "pick up" your writ. In tradeskill instances/areas there are 2 "desks" that will become clickable. Clicking these will actually "begin" the writ.

As you create items, they are automatically consumed by the quest and credit is applied. As each "section" of items is finished, a mini reward of coin is offered. This coin is not the final reward, this is to reimburse you for fuel used to make the items (its the same value as if you had made the items outside of a writ, and sold the items to a npc)

Work Orders
Usually requiring 12 crafts (number of items is usually irrelevant, this is to balance classes that make multiple items per craft, ie woodworkers and provisioners

Awards +100 faction to your home city's Tradeskill Faction
