Yes complete styles known is a factor, and that seems to be an account-wide thing. Since AWA meant that knowing the nine racial styles on six characters was enough for True Style Master (50 styles known) it would not surprise me if they add up all the styles known on all characters. My having ten, who each know 10 or more styles, (racial, Primal, Barbaric, Ancient Elf, and some know Draugr) means I get a much higher chance than your single character.
Fleur probably knows about 30ish complete styles, and we're buying pages to fill gaps once she knows ten pages of a style, unless the prices are stupid. I've found that the older ones are cheap, as everyone has those by now, unless they're hard to get for some reason, like only dropping from the final boss of a solo arena on Veteran. Or tedious, like fishing for bottles to get Pyandonian. There are a few styles where we still do some dailies in the hope of filling a gap, and so duplicates are dribbling in the guild bank.
I've never bought styles from the Crown Store. The CS-exclusive ones are not used for crafting writs, and I've got enough pages from events to make the others a poor deal.
I'm hoping that the process will start feeding itself, and the more I do, the faster they will drop. The dailies make gold, gold buys style pages, complete styles make Master Writs drop more often, and give Fleur a better chance of making them, too.

Since Morrowind is now base game, I'm reconsidering getting the Vvardenfell sets, and thinking Summerset instead. Again, Sload's is already there, because of the quest-lock, so only two needed - Adept Rider, and Nocturnal's Favor.
We're at 700 vouchers, so it won't be long before I need to decide.
ghastley
Mar 14 2024, 04:36 PM
Nocturnal’s Favor has been added. It was a bit farther from the wayshrine than Adept Rider, as well as being out in the wild, rather than in the docks. Now at 27/77. Only 50,000 more vouchers needed!
ghastley
Mar 23 2024, 05:42 PM
And Adept Rider completes Summerset. 28/77
Next Chapter in release order is Elsweyr, but I'm probably forgetting Zone DLC's on the way. Maybe the other CwC sets should come next? We already Have Fortified Brass, so that would be Innate Axiom, and Mechanical Acuity.

WOO HOO!
Brynja sent another set of tables, so Fleur attuned
Innate Axiom and installed it. (That's a long way from the wayshrine compared to the other set).
ghastley
Mar 31 2024, 11:03 PM
Mechanical Acuity is in. That brought us to 30 sets, and the tables lit up their signs and lettering. I think a few items were added to the table tops, too.
ghastley
Apr 10 2024, 07:02 PM
And the 31st set is Grave-Stake Collector so the other two Murkmire ones will follow when we have the vouchers.
ghastley
Apr 13 2024, 02:07 PM
Thanks to another set from Brynja, we added Naga Shaman so that's now 32 sets in.
ghastley
Apr 16 2024, 03:32 PM
Might of the Lost Legion completes Murkmire. Now at 33/77 sets.
Heading for Northern Elsweyr next.

Senche-Raht's Grit added. now at 34/77. I hope we can get to 40 before that is half-way!

Apr 29 2024, 05:42 PM
Wow, you are really tearing it up!!! I did get a few Master Writs in the last Event, will send them on since the Guild Bank is too full right now to hold them, lol.
ghastley
Apr 29 2024, 07:29 PM
Looking at the first and last posts on the previous page, we have got ten sets in just over two months, so the pace is averaging one set a week. With 43 sets to go, plus the six they will add along the way, that comes to about a year’s work.
I hope that Fleur will learn new styles fast enough to keep up with ZOS introducing more. (I think Laurie plateaued out, with a constant number of unknown pages. As she added more, so did they.) If Fleur starts to catch up, the level of writs in the guild bank should start to drop.
Today was a good day, as we got a couple of writs for the only item Fleur could make in the style. Usually, it’s for the only one she can’t do. And we had Perfect Roe and Nirncrux from the event, too, so the voucher counts were high.

If you need Nirncrux I can send you whatever I have, and I'll check for the Perfect Roe and Haikajo's. You are welcome to them on the EU, lol.

If I didn't need nirncrux to make crap to research, I'd send some. How's the slaughterstones supply? Need more?
I also need to buy some infused amber. Barf. Expeeeeeensive

How much? I may have a few; as all my characters get the Psijic portals that drop them, we get a steady trickle.

May 1 2024, 05:16 PM
Thanks to impeccable timing by Grits's Brynja, we added two sets today.
Vastare's Tutelage and Coldharbour's Favorite complete Northern Elsweyr, and we are at 36 sets.
Since we already have the Tideholm set, we only need two more for Southern Elsweyr. That will get us half way at 38/77.
ghastley
May 7 2024, 04:37 PM
Added New Moon Acolyte bringing us to 37/77. Just half a set short of half way!
ghastley
May 11 2024, 12:46 AM
Daring Corsair makes it 38/77, and completes Southern Elsweyr.
Greymoor sets next.

May 11 2024, 02:29 PM
Is there a reason you haven't done high isle yet? I assume you're going in chronological order?
I only bring this up because Order's Wrath is a top tier damage dealing set and I just went to make it on EU for a baby alt and had to run out to Steadfast to do it.
People use that set at 50 with other dungeon sets and stuff if they don't do trials lol.
It's a three trait set.
ghastley
May 11 2024, 05:00 PM
Yes, chronological order. At one point, Grits was getting the popular sets in her own homes (Julianos, Hundings, etc.) so I went for the hard-to-get ones, and now the DLC/Chapter-required ones. The assumption is that anyone new will get the latest chapter, and need older ones. And for each zone, I go for the hardest to reach first.
Eventually the guildhall needs them all, so we just go there first, but that only works on NA right now. And talking of NA, preparatory scouting of the Gold Road has already happened, so we should be able to grab the three new ones as soon as we can run there.
I expect the last ones we'll get on EU will be the base zone ones, where you have three choices of location. Just before that will be Vvardenfell, which is now considered base game, but only has one instance of the crafting stations.
ghastley
May 20 2024, 02:00 AM
Stuhn's Favor added. Dragon's Appetite next, and we already have Spell Parasite.
ghastley
May 26 2024, 05:15 PM
Thanks to Grits' Brynja Dragon's Appetite is in. Next up will be Legacy of Karth or Red Eagle's Fury. Not much to choose between those for distance from a wayshrine. We already have Aetherial Ascension from the Reach DLC.
ghastley
May 28 2024, 03:16 PM
Legacy of Karth added. It appears that the stations in the Reach have a smaller radius for attunement than elsewhere. I had to go up to activation range to do it.
And today's haul of writ vouchers was a whopping nine!
ghastley
May 29 2024, 02:54 PM
And the Reach's issue are now moot, as we got a shipment of tables from Brynja, and added Red Eagle's Fury. It seems that the gaps in the sets that made Fleur dump some big writs in the bank were a better match for B.
Blackwood next, starting with Diamond's Victory, as it's a long ride from the wayshrine.
mALX
May 30 2024, 09:06 PM
Got all the tables for the upcoming Chapter today; thanks hugely to Acadian, Grits, and Ghastley for the tremendous help they have been in keeping the NA Guild Hall up to date (not to mention help moving it to Hundings and furnishing it too!!!) REALLY appreciate you all so very much!!!
ghastley
Jun 8 2024, 02:30 AM
EU now has Diamond's Victory - furthest from wayshrine in Blackwood. So logically Hist Whisperer comes before Heartland Conqueror on that basis. Then it will be Deadlands sets.
ghastley
Jun 18 2024, 07:02 PM
Hist Whisperer now added. 44th set.

Jun 18 2024, 09:02 PM

Heartland Conqueror completes Blackwood, we already have Iron Flask. so the Deadland Demolisher and Wretched Vitality sets are next on the list.
ghastley
Jul 2 2024, 03:16 AM
Thanks to a dump of Master Writs from burntsierra, we got the tables for another set. Tossed the coin, and attuned Wretched Vitality. The next writ required Deadlands Demolisher.

Jul 4 2024, 01:44 AM
So now Deadlands Demolisher is in, and thanks to Brynja, so is Order's Wrath.

Jul 9 2024, 06:14 PM
Serpent's Disdain is our 49th set.

Jul 26 2024, 06:29 PM
51: Claw of the Forest Wraith
ghastley
Aug 3 2024, 06:07 PM
52: Old Growth Brewer.
I'll be in England and unable to use my usual account for a while, so I dumped some more master writs in the guild bank. Don't bother sending me tables while I'm gone, as I can't feed them in until I get back.
ghastley
Nov 6 2024, 07:46 PM
Now I am back. Grits sent a set of tables which has got us to
53: Chimera's Rebuke the last of the Galen sets.
Next on the list is the Necrom chapter, so we are close to completing the DLC zones.
ghastley
Nov 7 2024, 12:27 AM
54: Seeker's Synthesis now in place, as is the Scribing Altar.
ghastley
Nov 9 2024, 03:51 PM
55: Shattered Fate added.
The plan is to complete Necrom chapter with Telvanni Efficiency, get the three Gold Road sets, then add the Craglorn and Morrowind ones which are effectively base game now, but show as DLC or Miscellaneous. There are a few sets after that which duplicate ones in others' homes, such as Julianos. We will probably add those to the guildhall before starting on the Alliance zone sets, the final fifteen.
The average is about a set per week, but so far we have not purchased any table from guild merchants. If prices are reasonable, the last few tables could come that way. Doing all the daily writs to get the master writs is piling in the cash.
I may add some Mundus Stones, but the only way I know to get those is for crowns in the housing editor. If anyone knows a way to contribute those, let me know.
ghastley
Nov 20 2024, 01:26 AM
56: Telvanni Efficiency added, completing Necrom chapter.
Thief and Lover Stones are now available.

You are doing great with these tables!!! What do you need that will help with them?

Nov 20 2024, 06:44 PM
More attunable tables, of course! The price of those has gone down a lot on the guild traders. They were 300k or more, now I have seen 100k, so we may start buying for gold, not just vouchers.
Second is putting master writs you can't do into the guild bank, as Grits and I are both getting more styles, and doing ones we couldn't do before.
If you have Hakeijo runes, Dibellium, Dawn Prism, or Slaughterstone, then there are writs waiting for them. do the writs, and go back to the top.

Ok, well I don't have any of those mats; but I have actually been putting doable Master Writs in the bank so there would be some in there that didn't require golding out or high cost mats (or knowledge no one has yet).
On the money = THAT I can give you!!! I had made a new character and used all my funds up building up her backpack; but it is topped out now so my money is all yours again.
ghastley
Nov 21 2024, 05:06 PM
We took advantage of the current low prices in the guild stores and added some more sets.
57: Tharriker's Strike
58: Threads of War - burnt has Highland Sentinel, so that's West Weald done.
59: Twice-born Star
60: Way of the Arena completes the Miscellaneous section
61: Assassin's Guile
62: Daedric Trickery completes Vvardenfell; Grits has Shacklebreaker.
Now I need to decide whether to cover the sets others have, or to get the base zone ones. If I can keep getting sets for under 500k then I have enough gold for the rest, so it may be moot.
ghastley
Nov 21 2024, 07:38 PM
OK, I decided.
63: Highland Sentinel added, and I'm shopping for two more to cover Julianos and Shacklebreaker.
I bought the blacksmith tables already, but others may be competing with me for the rest. I just hope we don't push the prices back up.
ghastley
Nov 22 2024, 12:33 AM

Law of Julianos and

Nov 22 2024, 01:40 PM
I have started on the base zone sets.
66: Alessia's Bulwark
Alphabetical order seems as logical as any other. I have over seven million gold, so if the tables remain under 500k a set, we will get there, soonish. Tables are full!

Edited to add Shadow, thanks to Saki.
