Purple crafting recipes

Any plans to fix the drop rate of purple crafting recipes? VR5 purple foods make a huge difference in the capabilities of a player. Yet the drop rate is so low that the recipes are virtually non-existent and only a very select few players even have these. Additionally, these people have no competition when selling food, so there is no hope of reasonable prices being charged. This is plain wrong.

    LOL. My level 11 Argonian, also a level 50 cook, has I think 5 of em' now. I have no need of em' yet. I feed my VR1 son with the 45 and 50 level stuff.

    Indeed the Provisoner is very powerful, you can make a fairly massive change in even two attributes, I have a few of them, and certainly the ability to add 20% to any attribute is often the difference needed. The higher level drink too can make a large difference to recovery but the foods are golden.

    The Enchanter is even more powerful but glacial to level. The Alchemist too can make a big difference. Mine can make some strange things and this is my Oh Sh*t potion, a lower level example:

    No way you have 5 vr5 food purple recipe. Im trying to buy such recipe for more than a week for 300+k gold. And you know what - with zero luck. Noone have it at all. Im shouting in all zones for more than a week - noone have it.
    So the drop rate of them definitely needs to be fixed.

    Why has food stopped at VR5 when the level cap is VR12? Why isn't there at least VR10 recipes?

    No you are right. I have 5 blue food, I don't use em' so I got confused. The purple do all three, right?

    In early access, and shortly after, VR5 purple recipes dropped in starter zones. So having 5 of those recipes would not be a stretch of the imagination. Sad thing is that blue ones give a better stat increase for 2 attributes instead of the 3 increased attributes from purple recipes.

    You would have had to have been very astute to have received all 3 VR food recipes from your home alliance + 2 more from a different alliance within the short amount of time that they were available...while at the same time cross-Alliance trade Guilds were not yet well organized.

    Catches-the-Sun - Argonian Templar - Master Smith, Provisioner, Chemist & Tailor
    Valaren Arobone - Dunmer Flamewalker - Master Woodworker, Provisioner, Assassin
    Kazahad - Khajiiti Arcane Archer - Master Thief
    V'orkten - Redguard Swordmaster
    Finnvardr the Frenzied - Werewolf Berzerker

    People are willing to pay 100k for purple v5 food recipe lol. Something is very broken.

    Need v10 food now plz, make recipes actually drop or have some cool long-chain quest for Prov. rare recipes.

    Even if we had one recipe per guild it could work ... but a handful for the entire megaserver blows chunks

    Yeah, saw that too. Apparently it was a legitimate guild offer. Wonder if they ever got it?
