Detailed WalkthroughEdit
Blacksmith Writs are available to anyone who completes the Blacksmith Certification quest. The quest can be picked up from the Equipment Crafting Writs boards once per day.
- "Seeking skilled blacksmiths to fulfill simple requisitions! Your goods could make the difference! Carefully examine specific orders as you take them from the board!"
- <Pull a Writ from the Board.>
Below is a list of Crafting Writ boards and quartermaster locations. Master Writs can only be dropped off in the capital city of an alliance. Some cities offer better placement of pick-up/drop-off points, stations and the bank (if needed) - resulting in faster completion of numerous writs. Notable locations are highlighted:
| City | Zone | Pick up (equipment) |
Pick up (consumables) |
Drop off | Notes |

| Abah's Landing | Hew's Bane | (map) | (map) | N/A | - |
| Alinor | Summerset | (map) | (map) | (map) | Both writ boards and the drop-off point close to all crafting stations. All outdoors. Bank a short distance away. |
| Belkarth | Craglorn | (map) | (map) | (map) | - |
| Daggerfall | Glenumbra | (map) | (map) | (map) | Bank near writ boards. Drop-off on opposite side of the town at docks, one of the longer paths between pick-up and drop-off. |

Take stariway down to Arms and Armor market, go southeast through pedestrian tunnel. Boards and entrance are on the left. Dropoff boxes are on other side of crafting hall. Take back exit from hall, go left toward wayshrine, take stairs down and go left. Boxes are on the right.) |
| The Hollow City | Coldharbour | (map) | (map) | (map) | Does not have alchemy and enchanting stations until they are unlocked by quests. The Hollow City is a good choice for people who have bounties on Tamriel, as there is no Justice system in Coldharbour. |

- Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
- Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
