I've heard that there are grandmaster writs. How can I get those?
  • 1 of 9: First, you have to finish the game's main quest series and become the Morag Tong grandmaster (in either order).
  • 2 of 9: Then talk to any Morag Tong writ-giver and search the dialogue options for names of powerful people you haven't gotten writs for yet. (Note that asking them about "Writ" won't ever work.)
  • 3 of 9: They should have at least "Baladas" and "Dram Bero" at first -- click on those options to get the writs for those two guys.
  • 4 of 9: Whether or not you get the other two names at first seems to vary.
  • 5 of 9: For instance, I sometimes didn't get "Larrius Varro" or "Mistress Therana" as choices at first. I think it depends on what conversations you've had before, and what quests you've done.
  • 6 of 9: If you can't get all of the four above-mentioned names as conversation topics with Morag Tong writ-givers, then try going around and talking to other people in order to get the topics.
  • 7 of 9: Talk to Felissa Ulessen in Sadrith Mora's Telvanni Council House to get Mistress Therana added to the topics.
  • 8 of 9: You can get Larrius Varro added by talking to Ethasi Rilvayn in the Balmora Morag Tong Guild about "specific place" and then "Fort Moonmoth."
  • 9 of 9: NOTES: You should taunt-kill Therana and Varro in order to avoid a high bounty. Also, ignore the "broken thread of prophecy" warning you get for killing Dram Bero.
