Banana Surprise

JumpinJames

My god. For the life of me I cannot find this recipe anywhere. I have searched every nook and cranny of Auridon, Khenarthi's Roost, and Grahtwood. I have checked with every guild trader, every day, for the last 3 weeks. Nothing. Nada. Zilch.

I know these recipes are randomly placed in the world, but does anybody have any suggestions for me? I am an Xbox One player, gamertag: Jumpin James

It exists, I got it as a writ reward a week ago (and put it in a Guild Store). It's rare though. Doing provisioning writs help getting those harder-to-find recipes. Platform should make no difference.

I can't make roast chicken for my first writ, cosni can't find the recipe for it, I'm VR level 6 and 1 so not found on two characters across three play throughs

No one sells the Crafted Food? You don't have to make it, just turn in something someone else made.

Strange as it is usually the 4 Eyed Grog that is so hard for people to get.

I hear ya man. Banana Surprise was just a cruel myth to me for a long time. I searched everywhere, all my guild banks, and every guild trader in the zones I have opened/unlocked for close to two weeks and nothing at all. I would have gladly paid 1-2K for the damn thing. I feel your pain. BUT! I did eventually find it in a leather bag on Khenarthi's Roost, which I know is completely random, but it's a place to start. And cruelly enough, the second (1st level) writ I completed gave me....yep, banana surprise. I'm on PS4 NA so I can't help you directly, but your chances of finding should still be the same regardless of platform. Keep with it man, you will find it. Good luck.

Holy crap, I found it! A backpack at one of the Temple's in Kenarthi's Roost had it. I almost didn't believe it at first, but there it was. I probably never would have gone back to KR (because I had searched it so many times) but for your tip, so thanks a million.

Now on to the second writ which includes yet ANOTHER recipe I cannot find: Red Rye Beer.

Damn these provisioning writs!

For about a month of playing I could never complete one provisioning writ; Red-Rye Beer, Banana Surprise, Matze and Baked Potato. I started to question their existence. Now that i have them all, they seem to drop all the time; I picked up my fourth red rye beer over the weekend. If I pick up another I will gladly message you.

JumpinJames

The problem is, I can't complete the first Provisioning Writ (Craft Four Eye Grog and Craft Banana Surprise) because I can't find the Banana Surprise recipe. I have tried abandoning the writ but every time I go back to pick up a new writ they give me the same one.

Very, very frustrating.

JumpinJames

I tried looking in the Guild Stores for a "pre-crafted" Banana Surprise but have had no luck.

I didn't realize that the Four Eyed Grog recipe was so hard to come by. I need to find a partner to swap with!

Thanks for the tip. At this point I will try any lead I can get, so I will be skulking around Kenarthi's Roost for the next several hours!

Thanks, but I am on Xbox NA. Appreciate the offer, though.

Bummer if you were on the PC I would send you a Dozen (only takes 4 bananas for that)

I have been stuck on a writ for ages now for both banana surprise and four eye grog in the same one.

Antubis

I believe I can make all writs for AD up to 5th tier. Mail me if you need some.

I'd appreciate it. My Gamertag is Jumpin James on Xbox One NA. I would throw a little Gold your way for the trouble as well.

hahaha, nice. congrats

Sir_PappyVW

JumpinJames,

Glad to hear you found it! Good old Kenarthi's Roost. I was the exact same way, I saw it in a random bag/item list and almost dropped my controller. Finding recipes has become one of the most difficult and frustrating parts of the game for me. But in all fairness I love it, hunting for and finding recipes that you really, really, really, need to finish a writ is always very rewarding. I think I'm pretty close to having ALL the green level recipes, with the occasional blue and purple. Keep up the hunt and good luck!

The joy of Elder Scrolls is the searching for different things. I have not found that baked potato recipe. Any suggestions.

Idk how in hell you managed to necro a 1 month old topic when this is answered everyday, (as in today too)

I saw it in three different guild stores last night. The cheapest was 12k gold. One guild had three of them at 75k each. lol

What? Wow, I guess I'm losing money. I'm on XB and regularly sell green recipes for 100g each. If they are writ recipes, I sell them for 200g each. I wish that my guild trader was in one of the starter zones, but zone 2 isn't bad, as I can still help out those still trying to complete tier 1 writs.

I suppose I should start putting up the crafted writ foods/drinks for sale and see if they sell.

Go to newbie island, and start thieving containers that drop recipes. Reload zone when you get too far away from the shrine. Shouldn't take you too long.

I sell green recipes for 300 as standard and they go really quick. Not sure about 12k though lol.

I was running around in Khenarthi's Roost last night waiting out a bounty and killing everything in sight and managed to loot two Banana Surprise Recipes from corpses. Level 5 enemies go down quickly, so you shouldn't have to farm for too long to find one. NOTE: You don't have to start the quest in question. Just head to the docks area where this quest takes place and kill everything in sight.

Quest: The Tempest Unleashed
Questgiver: Zaeri (after completing The Perils of Diplomacy)
Level: 5
Location: Khenarthi's Roost, Mistral

makeumrage

I can send you as much as needed. Message me. Makeum Rage, Xbox One, Na. Be happy to help. Believe I have an extra recipe as well but would have to check on that.

CavalierKing

Get somebody to make it for you, then check the writ rewards.

Enigmatic

I'm in the same boat, can't find this recipe anywhere and need it for a writ (plus I need to find the grog recipe too)

newtinmpls

one of the things I regularly try to do is make some of the various recipeis that are so hard to find and sell them for cheap in guild stores. I remember when I was trying to find one of them, and someone said, sure they would make it for me, and then CODed a stack of 10 and wanted to charge something like 700.

I won't do that to anyone.

I can make the Four Eyed Grog for you. Just not Banana Surprise. I haven't found it just yet.
