confirmed

I think the number isn't per person, but counted over all players, like a casinojackpot. The player who finishes his/her quest as say number 1000 gets the jackpot

I decided to write here, so i can track my lost attempts in the future. I think this is bugged. I believe I tried about 30 times already, but i will count from 20 now. tLet say this was my 20th failed attempt, i will be back in a few weeks, i guess.

I think I am now the only one in my guild who hasn´t been able to get the recipe yet, comparing to approximately same levels.
I am very pleased that everyone got the recipes finally, because they were getting frustrated after many, many tries.
But it leaves me with a strange feeling, I have had more tries than any of them, still no recipe, so I am still frustrated!

And here is a thing that makes it even more difficult. To TRY to get the manuscript recipe, you often have to do quests where you have to produce CODEX. That slows upgrading of my gens, geologists and explorers even further, since it takes a long time to make 10 manuscripts, then two tomes, then the codex. This game is really incredibly stupid!
I need the manuscripts and tomes, SLOWLY produced in the Bookbinder, to upgrade my generals, geologists and explorers. I don´t need CODEX, which I can only put aside for later use.
Puhleese!

Thanks for sharing that. It makes it SO much easier to know that, when you have had 30 + tries (aka many months of trying)! HAHAHA

No, seriously, congrats, some are lucky, some aren´t. Just a pity some leave the game over this!

P.S. just signed up for another game - maybe I will have more luck there.

OK, finally got the recipe, no more whining - or yes, just a little more: why did it have to take half a year? I am way behind other players now.

Oh, I see. If I start whining here and threaten to leave the game, BB will give me the recipe
Seriously, though, about 15 tries now, no joy, so I guess I can join the "outsiders" club.
