Where did recipes for cooking disappeared?

wastelanderer

I've got tons of upgraded materials bu have no recipes to cook any, and I can't sell mats to vendors either, at least add recipes to vendors if you don't want people to find any.
I think you begin to do what every MMO done, restrict people to do what they want, if that is the case, I will unsub and will be waiting for solo games instead.
I am not happy about what is happening with these limitations.
Rare upgrade items I can understand, but making these limitations? please!!!!

Look in cabinets and wardrobes in houses. They are fairly common drops, but not from crates, sacks, etc.

It was mentioned during beta, but apparently they wanted even the 'common' recipes of the region to be ones you had to hunt for. It's kind of silly when you think about it.

Tip: Wardrobes and lockers and chests and crates reset even in houses after a few hours. So if in a city or town...revisit these places regularly and you will have plenty of provisioning recipes and mats.

What do you think I have been doing before posting this? for two days now?

wastelanderer

Seems like reset now is about 24h for wardrobes, lockers, chests and crates now.

It would almost be better if this was true, sadly everything resets when you log out and back in... Those guys with an endless supply of racial motifs and cooking recipes? guess what theyve been doing.

No, its not silly, its what makes ESO what it is. Its all part of it. Exploration and searching are a massive part, and so is the discovery of these item. Don't change it

For me it doesn't work like that.

Logging out and back in does not reset the cabinets and things for me..
They posted in one of the patch notes a while back that low level characters will no longer find "rare" recipes in cabinets and things, and since that patch I have not seen a single recipe that isn't one of the 6 basic ones for newbies.. I have tons of mats that I cant use now thanks to this... my character is level 11 but my provisioning is level 17.. I have been finding things like garlic and potatoes and salt and pepper and things.. but no recipe...

I think the next stage of recipes start appearing at lvl 12. Yes it is annoying on inventory/bank space that you start finding mats for them at lvl 10! But in my experience, new recipes start showing up when you hit lvl 12. (Character level, not provisioning level).

Phranq

It really needs to be based on your skill level.. not character level..
Thank you for answering tho

Kelara

Maybe join a guild or two as there are recipes available in the bank and stores of many guilds.

Phranq

I have just been terrified to join a guild with ppl Idont know because of the fact that it shows everyone my account name instead of character name..

I belong to a crafting guild. Has over 300 players. I seen another one recruiting in zone chat claiming to have over a thousand. The point is though that you are but one person in a sea of names. And even if a nefarious person where to see your account name, they still can't do anything with it unless they have your password.

Quite frankly I couldn't even tell you one name of the members of my crafting guild. I only joined to gain access to a guild auction house to buy or sell those things I have or need.

Recipes are extremely common, I get probably 50 a day. All you have to do is look threw everything. When you leave a town and come back to it after doing some quests, mostly everything has been reset, so you get to go threw the trunks, cabinets etc again. If you are a low level you will not see the blue recipes anymore. You need to level up, get to the higher level areas. Simple as that.

Phranq

I have learned from reading other threads that recipe drops are based on your CHARACTER level and not your provisioning skill level this means higher lvl players who wait to loot barrels etc can just skip over the low level recipes and go straight for the good stuff and those of us crafting from the get go have to wait to get recipes we can use...I really hope they change this in the near future.

Mishoniko

My observations:

1. There is (was?) a bug that causes level 10ish recipes to drop as VR 5 instead. Just have to plow through that range.
2. I got the majority of my recipes on trips to Coldharbor for the main story, oddly. Loot every container.
3. The containers in the Vuhkel Guard bank are awfully good at coughing up recipes.

Good luck!

Phranq

Yeah.. I check all the cabinets in Vukhel Guard. Its just that my char is only level 11 so i have to wait a level b4 I get better recipes.

Also it doesnt help that there is 2 times more tier 1 food and dring materials than tiers 2,3,4 and 5 together. You will run out of space fast with tier 1 materials. I just skipped tier 1 cooking and started to only save upper tier mats.

I find most of my recipes in trunks or chests. The best place, or the place where I found the most recipes, was while I was in Oblivion for main story missions. If you see Urns, crates, or trunks always open them. At the least you will get lockpicks or ingredients but if you're lucky you'll find recipes. In my case I usually found tons of recipes.

2 things
1. all they would need to do is ignore your char name to see your account handle
2. They would need your password and e-mail address and e-mail password in order to log onto your account

wastelanderer

Well, I unsubbed, when they decide to add higher tier recipes, then i will join back.
I think recipes should drop when you unlock those "recipe improvement" skill in provisioning, not based on your level.

wastelanderer

Food ingredients should be based on "recipe improvement" skill as well, to avoid complications.

Phranq

I don't think its worth unsubbing for... I just wish I had recipes to use all this random stuff I keep finding

Phranq

Oh.. and I can confirm... I hit level 12 and the level 10 and 15 recipes started to appear.

rideh

I can craft recipes and will buy ingredients listed on this page:

Phranq

They just nerfed sell prices on cooked food.. you might not want to buy all of those ingredients anymore...

Covyn

I dump excess recipes into my guilds bank at the rate of 3-5 a day....find a crafting guild and get through those little setbacks. I also offload low end materials that I do no personally use for my stat food into the bank. If you find a good/honest crafting guild these issues you are describing wouldn't hinder you. And I do not agree with "What you loot be in line with provisioning level > character level." During early launch being level 7 and looting a VR5 recipe was just stupid....just my opinion.

Saltypretzels

provisioning is such a small part of this game I do not understand why you would unsub for what is a minor design decision.

Saltypretzels

In addition, you don't seem to understand the mechanics. Even if you had a recipe to make skill level 40 food at level 10, you still would have to be level 40 to use it anyway
