Please Blue Byte DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT !!!
Please do not swear on the forums
As it took me 43 attempts before I got the recipe, I fully understand how frustrating it is. But it will come, keep going!
9th attempt no recipe.
7th Compass quest in a row. I have no books left so I need the recipe to get manuscripts to complete the quest to get the manuscript recipe. I approve mightily of this level 75 trolling by the devs.
Sadly this cowpoo also means I will no longer be logging in. Poop off BB!
24th attempt = Failure! (50 gems)Quote:

Hi there from 5 month (more than 50th attemp i think) i am playing only for cristals and qusets from letters to get a "manuscript" for riarity provision house , and not geted yet , SO question is how many time i must do it to get it ?
And here is 25th failed attempt!Quote:

50 times? Is this an estimate number or you know exactly it was 50 times?
Does it really matter if it's 47 or 51? He's saying it's taking forever and in the end you just give up, it should be a quest chain where you will always get it
you said it :)Quote:

And that loot is terrible, also a very low % chance at a building in any of the 5.
I am now up to 54 times trying for a manuscript recipe it is beyond a joke !!!
why cant BB come on here and say what the maximum number of tries it will take
getting totally peed off with the game
Don't think there is for Snow White no. Wiki says 10% chance for Tome recipe, but who knows?Quote:

i still think get a random amount of tokens and spend those tokens in a shop is much better than random loot. even if u only get 1 token it's a little progress towards ur goal and i often wonder if luck is an included stat when u create an account (like d&d type stats) as most of my guildies have far better "random loot" than i could ever hope to see!
27th failed attempt! You know what is not funny? That I know this is bugged, but developers will not admit it.
i stopped playing in September due to this after 20+ tries ,i just jump in occasionally to see the topic and if injustice is fixed .. my sympathy Grumsi
i get the recipe from the 2'nd try :p
Took me 62-64 tries to get the Manuscript recipe, so I have no idea why you whine about your meager 20+ tries tbh.
masochism not my cup of teaQuote:

You also seem to have bad luck with getting letter snippets if it takes you almost 3 weeks to make a single long letter. Also remember that the current design is based around on the fact that some people can try it every few days and they are never left empty handed as gems and xp are acquired. With the gems they can buy prem and double the crystals you get per week from daily quests.Quote:

But we did put a safeguard in if players go over a threshold to protect them from bad RNG.Quote:

Also earlier in the thread was a point was made (several times) that adding something fairly useful to the game via a random factor clearly causes huge frustration. Just don't do it, eh? We can buy lottery tickets anywhere. Being unlucky isn't "difficult" it's just annoying. It probably cost BB sales of gems IMO.Quote:

You don't need to be a paying player to get 200-500 gems per week. An active player can get one 1d prem per week plus half of a one week prem gems. How players choose to use theirs is up to them but still has to be noted in the design some way.Quote:

Anyway I can now stop being the laughing stock of the family (both my bros got it on 4th try and didnt have to make codex all the time) and only have to wait 2 more years for the 2k manus to finish so I can catch up to the ones who got it without difficulty.
well lady luck triggered last night, so now recipe is home after only 14 month ;)
Congratulations I think we have some poor souls in our guild who have approached that figure.Quote:
