Crafting recipe changes ruined my day and demolished my hopes and dreams...

[Euphie]

I have discovered that the recent patch has completely changed certain crafting recipes, such as level tomes. I have spent 10 in-game days farming rice, wasting an entire stack of fertilizer to farm around 5 stacks of rice in total. I was today years old when I checked again and saw the Farming Level Tome recipe was changed to Shimmerroot (which was previously Rice) which are Spring and Summer exclusive. It is now Summer 9th. I have just planted aND fertilised my entire field with rice, just before checking the anvil.

I...
I am at a loss for words...
The anger and anguish inside of me burns brighter than that time when I realised that my gay fish (Chromafins) don't display as themselves in a fish tank.

The developers who thought that making the level tome recipes involve season-specific crops would "balance" the game are evil, and I wish them endless pebbles in their shoes and hot beverages that are just hot enough to burn their tongue every time they take the first sip, since pain and suffering is their jam.

As for everyone else, I wish you have a nice day and hope you manage to avoid such travesties.

What happened is that actually the recipes for the tomes rotate, they change everyday to a random ingredient from a selected list. For the farming tome for example it can be rice, or tomatoes, or corn, or shimmerroot, or carrots, and so on. All of them work like that, and you can also only craft one of each per day. The majority of the ingredients for each tome are things you can find on all seasons, i think only the farming one has a few seasonal crops there but im pretty sure its just one or two of the options, so save your rice cause it will eventually show up again. The best you can do is check the anvil dayli and take notes of everything that shows up in the recipes and start saving those things so you have them ready when you need.

One thing, if you have enough materials on you, you can choose to make 5 or 10 of the tomes, not just one. But it has to be all at once or it disappears like if you choose 1.

yes, i have heard that you can only craft 1/5/20 of those per day, what i did not know was that the recipe rotates each day. WHO CAME UP WITH THAT? WHO THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA? AND HOW THE heck WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT????
oml istg this game got me acting up ;-;

exactly how much research must i do to not be a victim to this game

I took diligent notes for many in-game days (this was before the 1.1.0 updates but still appears to be accurate). Good luck.

I love the "Stone for everything" days. Those days are awesome. Looks like someone did some data logging for it there so there you go. Rice will come up again in the rotation. Farming is definitely harder then Exploration/Mining to get all skills for after your natural level caps at 70 for them, but still doable. I am hoarding stone like crazy and just holding on to it for another "stack of stone per skill-book" day to cap out farming.

[Pandia]

I found focusing on community tokens to buy skill points at town hall and making jams was much easier to do than the tomes. For tomes, I would just wait for rock days or if I had the tome mats on hand. At least that's the route I went to max all my skills

[Euphie]

wow
thank you everyone, with your sage advice i have accumulated enough knowledge that i may surpass this blunder and recover my mental and financial losses from buying, selling and buying again tonnes of rice and shimerroot. i hope that i will not allow myself to be scammed by sunhaven devs anymore.

mr handsome squidward is absolutely insane in the membrane for tracking their crafting recipes each day. thank you very muchly. it seems the options are random at any day for different players and can even contain the same ingredient for different skill tomes which i was not aware of. very cool.

thank you for your infinite wisdom. i too will henceforth begin to hoard stone now that i have literally the best pickaxe in the game and yet no longer have any need to use it after reaching mining lvl70 and completing all museum collections. side-note, the person who decided to set a cap on skill levels, forcing players to grind for the rest of the levels in this ridiculous manner in order to complete the skill tree and/or get the achievements is a silly goose and i don't like them >:c

indeed i am grinding the tokens as well, but alas - there are only so many you can get in a day; for reasons known only to the demons developers, community tokens only drop from Sun Haven community board commissions, bonus tokens require spending skill points, and finally the skill potions are heckin expensive. also - sadly, the exp gained from jams does not go beyond the 70lvl cap which is the main hurdle. nevertheless, i thank you and will heed your words in continuing to grind for the tokens whenever i can because it sure feels less painful to just buy the skill points rather than craft them out of my blood and tears and, apparently, a lot of stone.

thanks for coming to my ted talk.

[TheBigDad]

Another way to acquire a stream of community tokens:

1.) Complete the Flower bundle
2.) Grow tons of Roses and make bouquets.
3.) Put 3 points in Thankful Neighbors (Tier 4 Exploration)

Each bouquet gifted should yield 3 community tokens.

One thing, if you have enough materials on you, you can choose to make 5 or 10 of the tomes, not just one. But it has to be all at once or it disappears like if you choose 1.

Apparently this is no longer possible, i tried it today and even if you have materials for more tomes it only allows you to make one.

Huh I'm on 1.1.0d and it still worked to use 4k stone for 5 farming tomes at once. They better not patch that out as it is something that rewards planning

hm, it should work.. are you sure you have enough for 1, 5 or 10? It doesn't work if you only have enough for an off number like 2,3,4. You only get a chance to click it once to craft then it disappears.
