Oat mash maybe. But not Oats. It's hireling only.

Pray to the RNG god that your hireling likes you and sends you valuable mats. Mine keeps sending me hops.

Or Snowberry, Garlic, Grapes, or other garbage that I can find on my own. Once in a blue moon I will actually get something useful like Oats, Tomatoes, or Red Wheat.

Well, Red Wheat is just as common as Snowberries or Garlic, so get out there and farm it As for the Oats or Tomatoes, you're probably better off farming up (or buying) a Consummate Honey Brittle Recipe instead, and then go find yourself some Pepper.

He thinks you need to loosen up and drink more.

I've got 6 tomatoes and it's only taken umm, well since the game started. 3 points and lots of grapes grapes grapes or other things found easily.

I've got 3/3 on my main and 5 alts with 2/3 in Provisioning Hireling. I receive 2 to 8 oats a week. Depends on the RNG. I get almost twice as many Tomatoes as I do Oats. Good luck and hang in there!

SirAndy

Oats and tomatoes are hirelings only. You need to have at least 2/3 in your provisioning hirelings to get them to drop, but there's still that pesky RNG to deal with.

I now have 7 of my 8 characters at provisioning 50 with 3/3 hirelings, the 8th is almost there too.

DuelWieldingCheesyPoofs

Maybe its hops i find not oats, i have the recipie that has easy to find mats so.
honey brit recp i think.

DuelWieldingCheesyPoofs

morvegil

I think the game is broken if you have to level up alts to get ingredients.

I have 82 tomatoes, never used one. That's around 1 tomato every 2 days with a single 3/3 hireling, not too rare imo.

I don't know oat about provisioning, but from what I'm told they're extremely rare.

Nightreaver

The purple recipes that require Oats, Pepper and Tomatoes are actually much more common than those three mats required to make them. (At least the VR5 versions). You might consider farming/buying all 3 recipes since the end result is the same. That will at least allow you to rotate the Oats, Peppers and Tomatoes as you get them.

Either that or offer to trade any Pepper or Tomatoes you find in exchange for Oats since I imagine there are people with your exact same problem who only possess one of the other two recipes.

i have gotten over 100 tomatoes so far from hirelings.

I envy your blessing of the RNG. Still only 82 tomatoes in 6 months seems pretty rare considering the hundreds (if not thousands) of other items I've received from my Hirelings.

I only have 28 Tomatoes, but I do have 57 Oats and Consummate Sweetroll. After buying 100 mudcrabs for 900g a few days ago, I am set for quite a while.

One 3/3 hireling is all I have, but my fighter VR chars, hoover up all kinds of good stuff and have access to the good grocers.

Nope, ZOS have said Oats and Tomatos are Hireling-only.

I have loads of Oats and Tomatoes, never found a recipe for either one,.

- There are 3 green food recipes - each one increases one stat (Health, Magicka, Stamina). One recipe for each attribute
- There are 3 blue recipes - each one increases 2 of those attributes. One recipe for each combination.
- There are 3 purple recipes - each one increases all 3 attributes. Three recipes, all with the exact same buff, only the ingredients to make them are different.

No idea why we need 3 purple food recipes that result in identical buffs.
Of course the bigger question then is why do we need SIX purple drink recipes that result in identical buffs.

@Nightreaver

My uneducated guess would be they have one recipe for each faction since some of the mats needed are zone/faction specific.

Tarukmockto

@SirAndy,
Yeah that makes sense. Although they have said that they are doing away with multiple recipes to make the same thing when the big Provisioning re-design is released.
Can't wait to see how it affects my recipe collection! Might be good, might be bad. Just gotta wait until it happens to find out.

you can get them with hirelings, it just requires some random luck.

That would make sense but it doesn't appear to be the case. At least not any longer.

It is my understanding that only level 1-35 recipes contain faction specific ingredients or is that not the case?

I know I've found all 3 of the VR5 purple food recipes in the same location so those at least are not faction specific. Though it is possible they may have been at one time.

At the 4th and higher levels of provisioning,all faction ingredients are identical.

I guess you could sell the tomatoes and buy oats with the money. Tomatoes typically sell for more than oats, so you might even get more oats than tomatoes in the deal!
