Guild Wars 2

Why do Writs have such crazy material requirements compared to other professions’ similar consumables? They serve as personal consumable and their cost to make is insane, and their benefit totally not worth the cost. Regardless of price of the mats (due to high demand now), it’s still totally not normalised with other professions.

COMPARISON

Weaponsmith Consumable:

3 Bronze ingots
== 6 copper ore
== lump of tin
3 Piles of glittering dust
————————————————————————————-
5 Rough Sharpening Stones

= 2h 30min worth of Nourishment

v.s.

Scribing Consumable:

1 Vial of Weak Blood
1 Simple scribing kit
== 1 Green wood Pen ( 3 Copper ingots, 3 geen wood logs)
== 5 Piles of Glittering Dust
== 3 Resonating sliver
== 1 Crystalline bottle
== Jug of water
== 10 Pouches of brown pigment
1 Sheet of Coarse Paper
== 5 Green wood Pulps (= 15 green wood logs)
== Jug of Water
== Bolt of Jute (2 Jute Scraps)
——————————————————————————————————————-
1 Writ of Strengh

= 30min worth of Nourishment

This obviously needs normalisation.

Personal suggestion: it’s crazy that you need to use slivers on a consumable ! In fact, the Simple scribing kit is a crazy requirement.
It should be 1 piece of paper + 5 Piles of Glittering Dust+ 1 Vial of Weak Blood = 5 writs of strength.

Doing so will also make leveling a scribe easier.
