The chance of getting the recipe will be guaranteed after enough events where you didn't get it. It's not a 100% chance, but rather protection for the very unlucky few. With the new system, enough failed chances will ensure a 100% drop in due time.Quote:

Again, we haven't finalised the feature yet, so we can't confirm anything further until development has progressed. As soon as we're ready to share more you'll be the first to know!Quote:

I've lost count of how many tries I have had. :(
And another 50 gems today. !!!!!
I estimate I've failed once a week since the excelsior patch now totals 34 (including today's fail) :D
Thanks BB for the latest update, which has allowed the manuscript recipe to be available after a prescribed number of tries. I have one now!!!!!
14 times and still no recipe here . . must be one of the unlucky one's :-(
Wonder howmany time the prescibed number of tries is.
Got mine following the patch - thanks! :) (37th try overall(ish)
Congratulations Chapter! :)Quote:

So wondering if the guarantee is after 50, 100, 500 or 1000 tries

Seriously BB we need to know the ball park figure for the guarantee. Otherwise we have no way of knowing wether we not done it enough times or wether there is a bug and we should send in a ticket.
For example if the game due to a bug thinks I already have gotten the recipe even though I haven't I could go on forever trying get one.
i got it third attempt but as some are still trying after 30-40 the system is unjust
40+ attempts, 5th after patch... still nothing...
Must be lucky ..got it 2nd attempt
This should be impossible, unless they made a guaranteed manuscript after 50+ attempts or so, which is crazy. My guess is that they didnt fixed anything, just doing some mental experiment. I tried 2 times after the patch, both times i got 50 gems, together i think i made around 20 attemts already, so still possible to not get it after at least 30 attempts more..
i agree , why is it a secret , tell us how many tries takes
Check your star menus too, i found my manuscript recipe (or specifically that mysterious box) there, don't know how long it has been there or did i manage to do enough those letters before the change...
Been through my star several times, just to make sure I haven't missed it. Wish it had been that though.Quote:

Finally got it, 6 tries since update somewhere around 42 tries in total.
i had 12 tries , no luck , and now bug ate 15 tomes and codex .. so not enjoying the game very much , just getting more and more irritated every next go .. had enough , LEAVING GAME ... bb
If a "bug" did somehow eat your tomes and codex, our Support Team would very much like to hear about it. If confirmed, they should be able to help you out.Quote:

Keep this up if your goal is to lose players.
+1
the same here no recipe after more then 10 times at manuscript hunt :(
will do it there exist a bug which don´t store the produced books. I made some screenshots about it and will send it to support asapQuote:

a guildie of mine has tried several times every weekend since exelsior arrived. i keep telling him that bb has made a fix and he will get it after a maximum amount of tries, but i am wondering what this maximum figure is and knowing bb as we all do, does the system actually work?
i did get the books lost to bug after 3 weeks

"here you are" ?!
on manusc recipe i am on 15th try , no light on the end of tunel
if i may suggest .. seems unfair to have such a important science boost gain relying on pure luck ...
e.g. if you gather 18 letters in 10 days guy who gets recipe after 4 tries and other guy who get recipe after 25 tries will have 200+ days difference in science boost .. first guy got rewarded for doing nothing , and other guy will eat his ***s for 200 days and write stupid posts on forum
so, suggestion is , give us science token every time we finish 18 long letters quest ,and when we gather 10 tokens we get recipe ..
everyone happy , cheers
Don't know how many times I tried to get the manuscript think over 30 times or could be even a lot more lost count (I'm in premium and take almost all the crystal offers since we have exelsior and spend them om long letters ) the but still no luck, sigh a big big sigh :(
