While you need the RPH to be able to use the recipe, I'm not sure it is a requirement to have it to get the recipe.
i got one tome from snow in my 6th attemt
21st time did the trick, finally manuscript recipe!
Manuscripts in 3rd attempt.
Tome in 2nd attempt.
Grats to all the lucky Map Fragments in here :D
(Bitter much... Naa only just a little bit :P BUT the grats is genuine :))
woohoo, finally got manuscript on 11th attempt
i got manuscript at the first attempt..am i lucky man ?
Got my manuscript recipe, finally :)
Up to 17 attempts so far... Still no luck..:(
I lost the count too, but I'm probably near 20 without the recipe, same for another guildie
Managed to get the Tome recipe on the first try, but still on manuscript recipe.
I'm almost ready to give up hoping that I'll get the manuscript recipe, Ive done over 30 quests and am stuck on a diet of compass quests that require me to make a tome which takes ages.
I'll keep plugging away at this nut am definitely not wasting gems on this recipe.
Got it on the first try from settlers and bandits :) im happy
It was about 10 times for the manu
Still trying here.. up to around 16 attempts no with no joy..
glad to see I'm not the only 1 who never gets the good loot, not just from exelsior but from any adv/quest.
Random loot is not a good system!
Its possible to buy resources.
Got it on my 4th try, ex guildie got both manu and tome recipe on 1st try.
Other people I know got on 2nd try, 1st try or are at 25+ tries and still nothing...to be honest I havent met anybody that got it for example on the 10th try...very soon or not at all...
Still no joy here...please BB do something! :)
still no manu recipe for me and I've given up on it for the moment, I made 6 codex after doing the Compass quests 6 times, which is really the only quest dropping in there for me,
It's more important / pleaseurable to do ali baba addys so doing book in excelsior as I want recruitment guides , which have changed the number of troops I can cook in the elite barracks radically
So staying with the book side in Excelsior for the moment and maybe butt heads again fro the manuscript recipe another time
Maybe
Finally
I think it was 17 attempts.
But now I can not get letters when I already have a venture in the star menu.
I try to run annonymus threat and lost compass at the same time but looks like the game will not allow this any more.
Shame.
It finally dropped after about 35 attempts. I'm delighted and happy to move on to Books now, but still think that it's not fair that there's such a huge gap. While I was desperately trying to get the recipe there were constantly ppl telling me that they got it after just one or two attempts. Kinda frustrating...A maximum number of attempts would be nice, so for example let's say you get it guaranteed after 20 tries or something like that. At least you got something to look forward this way.
Got it on my 14th attempt
Finally today I also got the manuscript recipe, I lost count of how many quests I did, but lately all the quest i was given was Lost Compass which always requires a Codex making as 1st part of the Quest !
I have made about 6 codex for this damned quest though which has tried my patience very much.
When the recipe dropped for me I couldn't believe it as I was expecting another 50 stupid gems.
Muhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
30 attempts pfeeewww
I am just about ready to quit the game because of this, it is beyond a joke.
Manuscript first attempt :)
Can't recall how many times I've done it now and still nada. Bit annoying but fair amount of xp can be got from quest chain at least
