Cooking recipes

[KocLobster]

Google and these forums have very little on the subject. Anyone know where to find the recipe for porridge, or for candied fruit?

There's a single post in these forums suggesting the porridge recipe is bought from someone in Vernalis' castle, in Arthes. I never noticed it though, and I've since killed them all lol (boo fanatical religion). That's a little dumb if you can permanently lock yourself out of that recipe and any recipe that calls for porridge.

And the only time I think I saw candied fruit was once from a random alter in one of the starting regions. Never the recipe. The entire Internet and these forums has no evidence anyone has ever asked about it before me, so I'm completely in the dark there too.

Any ideas? There's a bit of Ludern I haven't explored yet, but I'm not hopeful.

Well I wouldn’t be too worried cos there are more regions coming soon in future updates and they prob come with more recipes.

350h into the game and yeah, I also havnt come across candied food recipes

The last update changed what the recipes do as well.

yeah, i'm also missing the porridge recipe. i'm stuck with the Hostes bug (can't get rid of him because i can't complete the quests a second time) and can't access the Vernalis castle because of him poping up "i can't be here, they'll kill me"

same with the candied fruit. i got lucky to find some with merchants only twice, but no recipe.

also, i can't find the tracker's meal recipe.

guess we have to wait for the next big update or patch cuz i've looked under every stone! (but sometimes new stuff appears!)

Yeah I asked about the candid fruit meal recipe ages ago and nope no sign of it. Have never heard of the porridge one :(.

Should be a way to just mix ingredients and if you get it right you get the recipe.

[araxdebold]

You can buy the candied fruit I think...

Porridge recipe at Vernalis' castle. On sale!
They changed it to affect move speed instead of Crits.

Never seen anywhere to buy the candid fruit recipe only seen them where it wants me to steal but I have never yet managed to steal a thing. Then I get wanted and then it says because your a criminal and wanted you cant break the law and steal things. Ok not in that many words just says Im wanted and wont let me steal which is utterly stupid. Criminals not allowed to break the law and do criminal acts because they are wanted criminals ?? :/.

That's because they "know" now you are thieves and won't let you wander around their back stealing things ^^

That's a good point indeed. But it is made to avoid endless stealing.

Also when you steal and reach 100, you thief get got.
So based on that if they let you steal something you automatically get caught.

Any idea to change this mechanic (while still preventing against endless stealing ofc) ?

I got every recept in the end of the game except for the candied fruits. It take a while through and sometimes you have to improve your knowledge in cooking compendium.
Some recepts are given as reward for quests so it may happen that you don't get them due the "wrong" choice taken

[Kruppe]

it's a nuisance, really, it's like why haven't we found the very first rune? it's that 'attention to detail' that remains a bit worrying. Why can my scholar solve level 3 books but not level 1?

Nice! Thank you for the info & confirmation. Unfortunately, this merchant disappears (or dies I guess) if you side with the other guy (Laheart) & finish the Arthes quest line. What's weird is I don't remember seeing this recipe for sale from anyone at Vernalis' castle before the big fight. Well I guess I really am locked out of getting the porridge recipe then.

[darenhughes58]

Yup Im locked out of ever getting it too since already finished and hes long gone.

Still a number of cooking recipes missing as well as tinkering recipes and blacksmith and alchemy . Not enough Knowledge points in game and needs more chances to find or get the ones you can buy. I hope they have it that once you finish Lund you can buy tracker armour and weapons from the trackers since I have thousands of those damn pristine fangs and nothing to use them on.

O and yeah having the rats nests respawn would be nice seeing as with the last one on turn 3 the ceiling dropped on the rat queen and killed her when I had only killed 4 of the 7 infected mounds.

I didn't poison the well, but I still can't get this recipe--she isn't hostile to me, but she isn't offering it either.
