Trade Extra Recipes for Ingredients

Trade Extra Recipes for Ingredients
Posted 2022-04-22 10:28:07 (edited)
I think we should be able to trade excess recipes for ingredients, possibly to the raccoon? Some recipes are so common with ingredients so rare, like Lunar Gem Cave. I've seen ingredients for recipes that are near worthless they're so common go for a hundred GC, and vice versa. The market is also constantly FLOODED with low value recipes.

So my proposed solution is this - an option to trade for either 1 ingredient (user's choice,) 1 of each ingredient, or the full set of ingredients needed to craft the recipe.

I don't think this will negatively effect the economy as low value recipes will no longer flood the market, but high value recipes will still be high value and high demand, as the recipe will be too valuable to trade for the ingredients.

Thoughts and comments welcome!

Ideas/Comments of Note:
- Katie (#28191): 1. Turning in the recipe for a component(s) should only be possible if the player has already learned the recipe. 2. Perhaps the components earned from turning in recipes are account bound, to prevent farming valuable remnants and flooding the market.

Partial support. I think getting one of each thing you need or getting everything you need for the recipe is way too high. IMO it should be that you can turn it in and randomly get ONE thing needed for the recipe. Imagine if one recipe for a fox base could get you a canine fang AND claw, as well as a fox tail, skull, AND pelt. That's just way too valuable.

Oh, and also I think turning in the recipe for a component should be possible only if the player has already learned that recipe. And also the component you get should be account bound so that people can't just farm recipes for valuable remnants, such as fox parts. This way getting extra recipes could help YOU craft it, but you can't just sell them and flood the market with previously rare items.

Hm... interesting, thank you for your thoughts!

I agree that maybe one of each is too much - though I think fox recipes are uncommon enough (and cost enough of each material) that it wouldn't be a HUGE issue.
Definitely support that you should have to have previously learned the recipe, I'll add that in. That'll be good for balancing AND it will prevent accidents.
The account-bound idea is interesting, but might be too complicated to implement? I'm also not sure how much of a 'flood' it'll be. I'll add it, though.

I support! I agree it should only allow already learned recipes to be turned in, and I think it should be limited to 1 ingredient per recipe, finding more ingredients sounds like something that can be abused.

I have additional suggestion, let Herbalist be the one who "forages" recipes for 1 ingredient found in it? And then, it can work very neat;
It wont be abused, because it will take the usual foraging time and energy for Herbalist to check one recipe and go after one of the ingredients in it. You would need to dedicate time and wolf energy to gain those ingredients, so it cant be exchanged in 1 click.
The Herbalist's Proficiency could affect what kind of ingredient contained in recipe it can find! The higher the proficiency, the more rare ingredients can be found; newbie Herbalist will only be able to find common ingredients from a recipe, etc.
Rarer ingredients like pelts should be the rarest to find, so it shouldnt have equal chance of any ingredient in it, but account the rarity. 100 proficiency Herbalist will have highest chances of finding rare ingredients, but still not guaranteed; it can still bring back a common ingredient.

I think then, it wont be abused, since the recipes that have very rare ingredients, are usually rare recipes on their own? So you wont be able to abuse turning them into ingredients, both because they're pricey themselves and can end up giving you a common ingredient from it.
