I fully agree with shasnas "Quitting game over manuscript recipe?" and I can not describe my anger because of endless attempts to obtain some recipe.
Just keep trying, while I agree the random element to getting the recipe is wrong, It still would not make me quit over it.
I was getting to have an attempt maybe every 7-10 days (jus from login & dq crystals) It will drop eventually. Patience is required.
somewhere between 40-50 attempts and i finally have mine :D .... now to keep trying for the others lol
Finally, on my 43rd attempt............hallelujah, at long last I have the manuscript recipe and on Mothers Day too:)))))))))))
Not to dishearten anyone, but I did some spreadsheeting to show how valuable the manuscript recipe actually is.
Say you're a high level player, you have 2 majors, 6 mmas (after easter) and all 3 coa. With a typical investment of 5/10/6 (=21) you're looking at:
55 manuscripts
110 tomes
66 codex
66 codex eat 198 tome, and 110+198 tome eat 1540 manuscripts.
So our totals come out to:
1595 manuscripts (@10h)
308 tomes (@12h)
66 codex (@14h)
Using only the bookbinder this will take 20570 hours, or 857 days if continuously produced.
If the RPH can do manuscripts it takes the total in bookbinder time down to 4620 hours, or 192 days (20570 - 15950 hrs of manuscript time)
Keep in mind bookbinder time is in fact not continuous, you'll miss minutes/hours because of the lack of queuing and therefore buffing is pretty much useless.
The manuscripts in RPH take 7h30, which totals up to 9525 hours or 397 days. But since you can queue and barazek (x4) it, in an ideal situation it would come down to 99 days. If you only do 1 barazek a day which is feasible, you'd be around the 150-170 day mark.
The beauty ofcourse being that you can run bookbinder and RPH together! which means the manuscript recipe alone can cut down your book production from 850 to ~200 days.
This is assuming the investment of 1228150 simple paper 988900 nibs, 159500 beans and 51040 gold coins is not a problem over the course of those 200 days, and ~200 barazeks.
So to those diminishing the impact of (not) having the manuscript recipe in RPH.. here you go.
This thread should not die. This feature is poor game design.
Another 50 gems. Wow. Thrilled.
Another day, another 50 gems that make me less likely to buy gems in the store. A truly inspired piece of game design. I love it.
same here
well i stoped counting still no luck here
trying later today to open one to see if gems or recipe.
but not worth quitting game over eventually it hopefull will come out.
Got mine eventually after don't know how many times. Don't give up, keep at it.

Guaranteed loot: This mechanism will guarantee a drop of a rare item reward, if the item did not drop after a specific amount of rolls on the loot table. This mechanism will reduce the frustration among the community for being dependant on "luck". More info on affected game elements to follow.
