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.
    Well said, Mannerheim. I understand that you might be frustrated, Grumsi - but some stuff in the game is deliberately hard to attain. If you look back in this thread, you'll begin to see the average number of attempts it'll likely take to get the recipe. But we did put a safeguard in if players go over a threshold to protect them from bad RNG.

    As suggested though, there are some ways you can up your number of attempts as Mannerheim said!

    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.

    random loot is a terrible system! yes, make things hard. I dont want to attain everything want in 1 week but i prefer event systems. win a random amount of currency and spend that in a shop. even if ur unlucky at least u can see a small gain in that currency each time

    Surely a free game is not balanced based on paying players.

    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.

    I got it on my 30th attempt! I can not express a relief that I feel and I wish this never ending agony will end for other players aswell. Good luck to everyone!

    Got it on 17th try. I would not have minded the number of tries if I didnt have to create a codex with a maxed bookbinder out of nothing every time just to try again. 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.
    Was fighting windmills from Aug 2012 to Oct 2019.

    Congratulations I think we have some poor souls in our guild who have approached that figure.
