Craftsman’s Writs

Each writ is an item that starts a quest — in the client’s words, “a pending crafting order. Acquire the requested items and deliver them to the customer for a reward.” There are 150, each naming one crafted item from the list below. The reward itself is set by the server and is not in client data.
