How does a VR character get low level recipes?

Now that justice system is in place, how would I go about trying to farm the low level recipes needed to move up the provisioning crafting writs? Right now I need Lemon Something Mazte Something recipe (lowest level) and I don't have it and all the guild stores I've looked at either don't have it or are selling it for 10k+ gold (they must know it is needed for writs). Should I still try and search the cities while stealthed for the recipe or go find a low level hostile area with lots of crates/bookstands/etc?

    Did they remove the level lock for recipe farming?

    I'm getting really frustrated trying to find the recipes for the crafting writs. I bought/collected about 60 recipes from my main toon and various guild stores before the update, but now my noob provisioner alt doesn't know any of the recipes he needs for the writs. I've made it all the way to provisioning level 28 and haven't been able to finish a single writ yet. At least the other crafting skills just need materials.

    I'm asking where to farm though.... do recipes still drop from indoor locations the most?

    Nope, if you try and farm LOW LEVEL Recipes on your VR14 Character, you get VR5+ Recipes instead, it's been this way since ~3 weeks after launch and quite frankly is stupid. What if an Account has no Characters in the Level range 7-14, they would NEVER be able to farm a Level 10 Recipe.NM I see now ZoS did change it in 1.6.

    Not true, I believe they changed this. First day of 1.6 I looted a lvl 20 recipe from Deshaan on my v 14

    Have you tried this? It doesn't work if you're not low level yourself.

    Buy them at any guild store they are cheap.

    BTW You are all wrong. It depends on what your Provisioning skill is as to what you loot in most areas, some areas give you the recipe level of that area.

    They changed it in 1.6, now you can farm low lvl recipes in low lvl zones; and yes I have a vr14 with lvl 50 in provisioning.
    Just go farm in the houses and you will find them

    Well, maybe ZOS changed something, but i get 3/1 (low level green) recipes on my VR14. Once or twice looted 1/1 in dungeon. I'll make a screenshot next time.

    This.

    From the 1.6.5 patch notes:
    The level of an item that you receive specifically from interactable objects will now either be in line with your level (in the case of equipment) or with the zone (in the case of recipes).

    Been getting some lower level recipes by farming lower level areas via crates, etc.

    I got some green lowish level recipes on my VR1 with 50 provisioning yesterday - mostly rooting from chests of drawers. Wayrest Castle is really welcoming if you know where the guards can't see you :D

    I'm selling off any green recipes I don't need via our guild trader who can be found on the steps not far from the wayshrine in Daggerfall (EU server). All very reasonably priced. Not found that lemon matze one you are after though. I'll keep my eyes out for that one.

    Okay so it seems that inside cities in large buildings with lots of chests/drawers/etc is still the best place to recipe farm even with the justice system. Thank you for the responses.

    1.6 changed the recipe looting so that you loot the recipes of the level of the area. ie. VR14 in Davon's Watch, Stonefalls, will loot recipes of lvl 1-15 foods.

    If your main has the recipes and your alts don't, just make the food on your main and transfer it to your alt. I have 3 alts that do prov writs (previously one of each alliance for chances at the lower level rarer recipes) and none of them made the food themselves. I just have a small stack of each food/drink in their inventories, pick up writ, turn in writ. Easy and fast:) This also works for the alchemy writs.

    They also drop from human mobs in dungeons, but I don't know if that's affected by the level-differential check for loot.
