Ive gotten
a sack of sugar
bowl of chocolate liquor
cocoa butter


They all came off paragons. So what do I do with them and are there more ingredients?

Are they temporary?

Chefs of Sosaria! Rejoice and pick up your rolling pins! All you have to do for your cooking ingredients is slay a paragon beast!

*shakes head* Crafters have to rely on hunters for ingredients again. Now, some of the things off of the peerless can be justified, I suppose. Cocoa butter? On a paragon Balron? I don't know...

It sounds like the new ingredients are to make the new chocolate we received in the V-Day boxes. I'm not sure if the new cookables need recipes or not. I received the chocolate liquer (looks like a milk chocolate color bowl of potatoes?) and a bottle of Vanilla (looks like a caramel color wine/beer bottle).

Hmmm... Maybe on Saint Patty's day we can get the ability to brew and distill. I would hate to have to get hops and barley off of a paragon dragon though.

Aye tis for some new recipes so our chefs can make new goodies, except we really WON"T be able to make any of them. I have 2 gm chefs one per shard they will never kill the beasts to get the ingredients, and Siege won't have em unless some mega alliance gets ingredients to sell to chefs or give to em, and on Chesapeake those ingredients probably be priced at one half to three quarters of a million gp...to buy the ingredients to make the chocolates that no one can afford to buy *cuz Luna charged too much FOR those ingredients* that a chef can not KILL to ever get.

I have been wanting to make Hovering Wisps on 2 shards since ML came out..on siege I NEVER even see captured essences for sale..on chesapeake..IF I find that ...it is in a Luna Mall for 475k for ONE bottle of it..and it takes 4 to make ONE captured essence............so only place my gm alchemist ever gets to make hovering wisps IS on test !!

I wish they would rethink the wonders of ML ingredients to make them useful viable makeable, and for less rarity less $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ so that we COULD make them instead of never getting to or that the ingredients are so seldom found by the time you *have to buy* them IF ya find them...the customers won't be affording the item ..nor the crafter either having to BUY such pricey seldom found ingredients...or rarer ones yet like captured essence ..and now it will hit making simple chocolates ! *sigh*

Hey Q, I play on Chessy, you can have any ingredients I come accross. I can PM ya if/when I get any. I'm not hard core, so I can't be a perm reliable supplier, but I have no Chef so they have no value to me. While on test, I got ingredients off of every paragon I killed, headless/mongbats/ratmen each.

Oh that would be awesome !!

I have a public drop box *gift box* at my Moonglow Chesapeake vendor home by the Moonglow barracks, folks can drop items into said box but not take out set up. Some folks like to drop off runes to their own shops too, and I oft promote their place too ie anyone non Luna not high priced nor over inflated,over priced and restocking oft gets my thumbs up ! HAHA


So ye could use that same drop box too, anytime ya want to, heck I will even make ye some chocolates free, too. Yum !


Moonglow Wood Works, (gm basic wood carpentry items, for less) Tram side Chesapeake..it is the same location that oft is used for the SpringFestival host house right by the barracks there, on Moonglow.

Just like the other day, a lady wanted a lg frostwood bed, and they EA of course makes frostwood nearly extinct.........I told her IF I get 150 frostwood boards ye can have the bed for free OR if u buy the wood or whatever ..not like I had 150 frostwood boards *if no fail gm carp on making it* So Guardians Gate come thru and donated frostwood boards so ONE happy citizen ...they gave me the wood, she got the bed 0 gp !
Sometimes the dev. team makes things TOO difficult TO make be it a bed, a hovering wisp, ecru rings that *matter* that others would buy etc. ML was supposed to ADD but it too oft offers things that are a pipe dream that we never get ..to make and others never get to have nor buy things too rare, need too many to make one thing, or ye crafter sure can not kil whatevers to make diddly *or dies trying* in which case much of it they may as well not even bothered to *put em into the game, at all then* !

Ahh yes I remember hearing about your Moonglow Wood Works. That drop box sounds like it'll be really convenient for me. Oh, do those Hovering Wisps make sounds? If so, what kind, Wisps sounds?

QZ,

Just curious - how did you make a public donation box that allows people to drop in but not remove? When I tried it, people had to be friended to the house to drop things in a locked down container or on a pile of resources. The only thing I could do was set a secure container to "anyone" access which means anyone can take things out and put them in. The locked down containers I had set to "anyone" let them look in them but not add items.

That the only reason why I have not made one on Sonoma either. I cannot understand why they have to have so many to make the hovering wisp, but only one to make items in games such a the mittons.

The shimmering effusion peerless is such a pain to do, from what I have heard, it has always boggled my mind that they made a decorative item have such insane ingredient requirements. The statue itself is a big disappointment. I logged on Test Center a while back and made tons of them just so I could.

hrmmm ye may have a point there.

I set the box up primarily for Sebrina Ches. Shard UOSS reporter and shard rune librarian to deposit items into said box, and set it all up yesterday and just looked and there is *nothing in da box* yet. She was going to drop off things into the box late last night *rune library runes*.........hmmmmm ??? !!!

*goes back to the drawing board*

Aye it makes one wonder. I think one of the largest issues in the game is players quit out of utter frustrations to be *boxed in and hemmed in* so badly with yes you too can make this ...new ML new boon to crafters yet the regular crafter can not pvm won't get those ingredients or...even if they have chrs. that can do that or guilds it won't be *enough* of the rare priceys to make it nor to make it desirable nor worth the buying for the other players.......hemmed in boxed in this rare that takes 60 gems 3 kinds at 20 gems a gem type to make.. and if one can not hunt for those pvm for em, then they have to BUY EM. $$$$ In the end they can not afford it or even if they could who would buy a *deco* item that cost about 4 million and does nothing barely big and just sits there called Hovering wisp *prime example*.

I so wanted to do a tiny memorial and history house be like a tiny place 8 x 9 on Moonglow and have 4-5 hovering wisps there, book about that invasion, books about wisps in general historically wisps in game and thus have hovering wisps on tiny plot. MY alchemist cant hunt down the ingredients..takes 4 to make one...they want 475k for one captured esscense in Luna only place one even finds that ingredient and then if lucky ya find it on one mall vendor 2 x a year no more................ so to do a tiny plot *memorial* on Moonglow of possibly 4 hovering wisp or 5 .............. 475k x 4 to make one wisp... x 4 wisps ..........close to 16 million gp for tiny deco items ........just for my own self not even to sell to others ! BLEH ! ML just hemmed and boxed us in more and now *rare* wood and ore and granite finds................and they wonder why players get frustrated and exit !
It is like being offered wonderous pie in the sky...ya never gonna get to get...or a carrot on the stick ya never are permitted in game to ever...achieve nor reach even when you HAVE the skills to do so won't matter ya can not get to make it nor crank em out FOR the other players either let alone ye self even once sometimes never gets to happen like the hovering wisps.


Anyhow here is the ONLY place I got to make hovering wisps........this was one of my homes on TEST some time ago...I called it the Hovering Wisp Inn by vesper bridge there on one of our past test shards...the *ONLY* place I ever get to make hovering wisps. *probably be same for valentine candy for our chefs too*
Anyhow TEST this screenshot is the ONLY shard I ever got to even make one let alone numerous hovering ML wisps..purely deco they do nothing they should not be *the impossible dream* to get to make in UO, yet they &amp; many other things are ...........

To set it up for drop offs, you say "I wish to lock this down" then click and set security to anyone. This allows folks to drop things in but not take things out. There are certain items that can't be dropped in for some reason, but it does work for most things.
