Artisan recruitment

[Nathiri]

Anyone else go a relatively long time without getting an application for a specific profession?

My crafting supply alt is still waiting on an alchemy applicant, ANY alchemy applicant.

My main is so far getting more applications per day (which I assume is tied to level/activity/parameter x) but it's irking me more than it should that I'm missing alchemy still..

*shakes fist*

(and yep, I realise I could go the premium recruitment route, and I am prepared to spend a bit on the game but I'd rather have VIP and not pay to gamble on what would undoubtedly be a common artisan on an alt...)

Edit: venting did the trick. after 9(?) days... an alchemist!
