Craftsman’s Writs: your profession, paid every day

In WoW Forever, professions aren’t just for crafting your gear and potions. With Craftsman’s Writs, they also earn you money and reputation with Azeroth’s new trade hubs. The idea: pick up an order, get the requested item and deliver it. 150 orders, each one doable once a day, even without the profession.

How to do it

  1. Step 1 : Get a sealed writ

    From level 10, creatures out in the world can drop a Sealed Craftsman’s Writ. It isn’t completely random: while leveling, you mostly find orders that fit the zone’s level. Some even announce their tier: Sealed Journeyman’s Writ, Sealed Expert’s Writ or Sealed Artisan’s Writ. They stack up to 20 in your bags.

    Good to know: you don’t have to rely on luck. Sealed or open, writs aren’t bound to anyone: you can buy and sell them at the Auction House. Just search for “Writ”.

  2. Step 2 : Open it and accept the order

    Use the writ to find out what your mysterious customer wants. The envelope gives way to a specific order, for example Craftsman’s Writ: Golden Rod. Use that in turn: it starts a daily quest of the same name. Most of the time a single item is enough; only the Crafted Solid Shot order asks for 200.

    Don’t throw the order away after accepting the quest: keep it in your bags until delivery, it’s needed to complete it. These quests can’t be shared.

  3. Step 3 : Craft the item… or let someone else do it

    That’s the big perk of the system: you don’t need the requested profession. Orders cover five professions, Alchemy, Blacksmithing, Engineering, Leatherworking and Tailoring, split into three tiers:

    TierOrdersRequested itemsExample
    Journeyman45Bronze, iron, wool, silk, leatherGolden Rod
    Expert60Mithril, mageweave, thick leatherMana Potion
    Artisan45Thorium, runecloth, arcaniteGift of Arthas

    If you can’t craft the item, buy it at the Auction House or ask another player. Keep an eye on profitability: some orders need costly materials, others are done for a few silver. Our advice: favor orders for your own professions, or ones whose item is easy to find. A hard order isn’t necessarily better than a simple, cheap one.

  4. Step 4 : Deliver the order: Eastern Kingdoms

    Once you have the item, all that’s left is to find your customer. Writs take you across Azeroth, sometimes to out-of-the-way places; luckily, the destination shows on your map while the quest is active. Here are the known Journeyman customers.

    Alterac Mountains

    Three customers, one of whom takes three orders on his own.

    Hillsbrad Foothills

    Three customers share the region, with one or two orders each.

    Arathi Highlands

    Two customers and five orders: a worthwhile stop.

    Wetlands

    With five orders, one per profession, Kixxle is the most versatile customer on the list.

    Duskwood

    Kzixx takes four orders. The fifth goes into a chest, the Battered Trunk: no NPC to talk to, just an object to click.

    Stranglethorn Vale

    Five customers, one order each, three of them in Booty Bay.

    Traveler’s tip: group your deliveries by region. One trip through Arathi and Hillsbrad, or Duskwood and Stranglethorn, beats several round trips between continents.

  5. Step 5 : Deliver the order: Kalimdor

    Kalimdor’s customers are spread across Ashenvale, Stonetalon Mountains and Thousand Needles.

    Ashenvale

    Four customers, including a not-so-brave peon who takes two orders.

    Stonetalon Mountains

    Ziz Fizziks takes five orders on his own, one per profession: the ideal stop if you’re carrying several.

    Thousand Needles

    Five customers, one order each, a few steps from one another.

    What about Expert and Artisan orders? Their customers aren’t all recorded yet. According to Wowhead, the Catseye Draught goes to Arch Druid Fandral Staghelm in Darnassus. For the rest, follow the marker on your map: this part of the guide will grow as players find more.

  6. Step 6 : Do it again every day

    Writs are daily quests: you can deliver each order once a day. But they aren’t all equal: between an overpriced item and a customer at the other end of the world, some quickly lose their appeal. That’s where the Forger’s Quill comes in. Once you’re Honored with your faction’s trade hub, it rewrites an order into another random one of the same tier.

    • The quill is sold by Dianne Softstep, the Uncertified Scribe, just south of the Alliance hub in Three Corners (Redridge Mountains), according to ForeverChanges.

    On the Horde side, no vendor is confirmed yet.

Result

Every delivered order earns you two things: reputation with your faction’s trade hub, the Azeroth Commerce Authority (Alliance) or Durotar Supply and Logistics (Horde), and a Coin Pouch full of silver. The higher the tier, the better the pay:

TierReputationPouchTo Honored
Journeyman75base94
Expert125≈ ×356
Artisan200≈ ×635

Reputation: 75 per the Wowhead quest page, 125 and 200 per ForeverChanges. Pouch: rough scale based on the pouches opened and recorded by Wowhead. To Honored: number of orders of a single tier, starting from Neutral, after the 2,000 points from your first crate (ForeverChanges). In practice, you’ll mix all three tiers.

What reputation unlocks

Honored: the Forger’s Quill, and a license application explaining how to get a tradeskill sign toy, Advertising License Application for the Alliance, Advertising License Application for the Horde.

Exalted: your trade hub’s tabard, Azeroth Commerce Authority Tabard for the Alliance, Durotar Supply and Logistics Tabard for the Horde.

Don’t confuse reputation with Merchant’s Favor: writs don’t give any. Favor comes from Waylaid Crates, see our crates guide. The two go hand in hand, since some trade hub recipes require both reputation and Favor.

Our advice to make writs pay off

Writs are a great side activity while leveling, then a steady source of reputation at max level. No need to do every single one, though.

Favor your own professions, check item prices at the Auction House and group your deliveries. A cheap order nearby is often worth more than a pricey one at the other end of Azeroth. And if a writ is no use to you, sell it: it’ll make another crafter happy.

Sources and notes: orders and requested items from the Forever game tables; customers from the Wowhead guide; positions from Wowhead Forever tooltips; Expert and Artisan reputation and the Forger’s Quill from ForeverChanges. The Wowhead guide’s table lists 125 reputation for a Journeyman order, the quest page 75: we go with the quest page, pending in-game confirmation.
