You know, the name says it all "Chef Arquitius’s Lost Thesis"..... It's lost!
But has anyone seen it drop? Been doing an unholy amount of bgs since it was introduced but never seen it.

    It's probably one of the rarest items in the game, it does drop, however infrequently, though given the number of players selling the potions on traders, and I remember reading someone buying it once from a really expensive trader listing.

    Someone from one of my guilds got it and asked in chat for how much it could be sold.

    While you waiting for next BG farm Forgotten Wastes for Morrowind Banner of the 6th House, i wonder what will drop first.

    Few years ago I thought about buying it for 10-20 millions and decided that over time it would become cheaper.
    Over time, it simply disappeared, its price jumped to 1 billion.
    People who bought it several years ago now convince me that everything is fine.

    Never found one personally (and granted how this is a BG reward I probably never will). However after someone else posted their good fortune on here, I watched the sale for several days on TTC (out of curiosity, nothing more) and the recipe sold from a major vendor (think either Bleackrock or Blackbriar) for a cool 50 mill. Once again Congrats to them btw as I'm happy to see that someone from BGs gets a nice reward once in awhile for all the crap we have to put up with.

    Last one I saw on PCNA that actually sold went for 30 mil within 5-10 mins of it listed. A few were listed for 600-750 mil but never sold.

    I pulled this about 18 months ago. I BG more or less every day, and it was one of the first anyone in my social circle had seen. Sold it for about 250 mil on PCNA.

    This has to be 1:50000 odds of dropping or worse. Only a few Lost Thesis show up every year.

    If someone found it then it wouldn't be a lost thesis anymore :)

    Considering how expensive it is to craft the White Gold War Torte, this is not something I would ever actively try to farm. It doesn’t take that much PVP to reach max alliance skill tree ranks, and once those are maxed out then getting higher ranks doesn’t mean anything beyond getting some more skill points.

    No, I have no aspirations for Grand Overlord nor Emperor.

    Yeah so it looks like the lost thesis is really lost :sweat_smile:
    Might be faster to grind to Grand Overlord than looking for this lol

    This recipe and also the regular EXP recipe (I think it's called cipher or something?) are the reasons I will not get every recipe in the game.

    I'm currently working on getting the Molten cake recipe, and that feels hard enough that I will consider myself to be done after I get it.
