My intimacy with Olla & Lohn the Weapon Smiths in Heartwood has now come to an end, I totally give up unless someone out there can confirm if either of these two tight fisted npc's have given up one of the rare smith recipes in the past 12 months.
In the first week of ML my crafter had all the carpentry recipes bar 2, all the tinkering, and tailor recipes bar 1.
By the second month of ML, my crafter had all the fletching recipes, as I took her in there and gm'd bowcraft & fletching using the quests plus the one tailor and one of the carpentry recipes she needed.
By the third month of ML, my crafter had the final carpentry recipe she needed.
I then started the blacksmith trade which I had left til last on purpose, within the first day of it I had 60% of the 40 odd commons, and one semi rare, by the end of the month she had all the semi rares and Overseer Sundered Blade rare.
Over the next few months on and off she picked up the Cold Forged Blade recipe and the Shard Thrasher recipe.
At the end of the first year of ML she had all but the Luminous Rune Blade recipe.
To obtain all the smith recipes to this point I think I used about 140,000 ingots.
Since that time until the present I have been going every so often, and since KR nearly each week to try and pick up the one recipe she still needs. Up until about a yr ago, I had obtained a second shard thrasher, cold forged blade and 2 more overseer blade recipes. Each time I go I take 10-30,000 ingots with me so do 100-300 quests at 100 ingots per quest.
Since then I have gone through conservatively another 900.000 ingots a lot of which i bought in 60k deeds when someone was selling cheaply or those mined up myself. In expending these ingots I have not picked up a single rare recipe since about xmas 2006 until now (so approximately 600k worth of that 900k). I know this as I gave my second shard thrasher recipe to a guild mate for xmas as it was the last he needed in 2006 and that was the last rare recipe I have received to this day.
Now either there is something seriously wrong with my luck, the rng hates me or at some point the rare smith recipes stopped dropping. Given I have done in the past yr or so 6000 or more quests and not received ONE rare recipe at all, let alone the ONLY recipe I want, I really need to know if anyone has received any rare smith recipe since around xmas 2006 til now---Mar 2008, and specifically has ANYONE received the Luminous Rune Blade Recipe in the past year?
(I know it did spawn originally as my guildmate picked it up in the first month of ML)
Alas Olla and Lohn are really boring to hang around with and even with KR (which has been a blessing for the past 500k of ingots) I MUST have some hope that this recipe still spawns or I will just have to give up. It has cost me millions in hours and ingots for more than 2 yrs trying to get ONE recipe and even tho I am probably one of the most persistent players it is coming to the point that even I will give in and just forget it. In all this time I have NEVER seen it for sale on any vendor on my shard, nor for that matter have I seen any of the rares in well over a year, I think I sold the last one which was a Overseer Sundered recipe and that was so long ago I can't remember how far back it was, but it was well before xmas 2006.
So can anyone confirm getting any of these recipes in the past 12 mths:
Overseer Sundered Blade
Cold Forged Blade
Luminous Rune Blade
Shard Thrasher
