Recipe discovery

[Somekid123]

Same way epics were figured out, a lot of the stuff NPC's said really didn't make sense where to go next or what to turnin. Ive done the druid epic a couple times [On P99 alone] and I think its the gnome in OT? Who doesn't even say shit when you hail him. As Kavious said, a lot of dev's played, its how word of mouth spread for epics and they were figured out back in the day.

Yes, I understand that there was a lot of knowledge already known and spread by word of mouth. But, the recipes cannot simply fall from the sky. They must be discoverable somehow. I never have found information that tells how to discover them. The wiki lists the recipes, but not the source.

Not necessarily. While many recipes were figured out from in-game books, NPCs, and other clues, some recipes may have been revealed by GMs and guides. It’s also possible that some recipes were discovered by trial and error, but the chances of that seem low. It probably happened, though.
