Lost big with new provisioning recipes.

Before the update I had the ingredients to craft over 200 servings of level 50 purple food. I could also use the special ingredients to craft level 45 and 35 purple food. Now I no longer have the ingredients to craft any purple food. If I had known I was going to lose this ability I would have used up my ingredients. Not good.

Gotta visit the forum more often. There's a nice spreadsheet with all the changes:

I'm assuming all your purple food used Pepper? Oats and Tomatoes converted, but Pepper just went stale. Very annoying if you weren't prepared for it, it's true.

From your link I can see that the Consummate Mud Crab Cakes recipe became Planked Abecean Longfish, and Consummate Fishy Sticks became Duck Soup. The main problem is the mudcrab meat used in these recipes became corn, which is not used in the new recipes. I see the longfish recipe requires fish, which was originally battaglir weeds. Those weeds were used for level 1 recipes, so I would not carry them as all 8 of my characters range from 43 to VR3.

Also the Consummate Imperial City Stew (level 45) became Caramelized Goat Nibbles. All the shank I had became old. The new game ingredient was converted from chaurus meat, which was used in level 30 recipes, so I would not have carried it.

The problem is not with the new recipes, but with the ingredient conversion. From this example it looks like they didn't think it through very well.
