Honey Recipe book - September ONLY?

[Adesanya]

Cause I never found it and it's April now .... do I have ot wait until its September AGAIN to comb through every NPC in the game to find it?

Are you playing an older save? One that was started prior to the recent update? I created a new game to test some things & got my last recipe book after only 3 to 4 days. I don't know for sure if not able to get the recipe book with running an old save, but so far on my older game save, I haven't found a trader that has it. Granted, the traders have randomized loot available, so maybe it is just a matter of time for the cook book to show up.

[Adesanya]

UGH ... yes mine is older .... UGH .... well I SUPPOSE I can start yet another save game smmfh ... it's fun enough

[Merck]

It just may be a matter of time to receive the last recipe book. I myself am going to try my current (old) game for a bit longer, before I commit to a new game.

But unfortunately this is a common thing with many games, that major updates require restarts. The good thing is you have all kinds on knowledge, which can greatly assist you in your new game.

[Adesanya]

Yea .. Im not hurt over a restart.

Great thing is you already know what Oliver tells you, so you can "fast forward" through the dialog (space or RMB). I often use the time to get the trimmer & clean up some of the yard between his discussions.

Also, it is a good chance to review what he says, since sometimes real easy to miss things the first (or 21st ) time around.
Good luck

New save to those from version 1.0.0?

Is it profitable to sell cooked food from recipe books? Fish Recipes bring less profit than canned ones. I checked it out.

[Adesanya]

Yea, this time around I am plowing better than ever before LMAO

Interesting about the fish recipes. I'll keep that in mind as well

Peanut found the 3rd book at the church at Redberry, on his older saved game. So apparently is possible to find a trader with it.

I have been selling my food at the September Festival trader (Rose). She gives much better prices than John or other traders. She also will buy the flowers you grow at a much better price than John.

Flower - Festival - John
• Dahlia - 1.68 - 0.84
  
• Rose - 2.19 - 1.10
  
• Tulip - 1.85 - 0.93
  
• Zinnia - 1.77 - 0.88

Well worth keeping many things until the September Festival, since the better prices.

No. With the exception of the egg forest casserole and the dairy fish dish, you are better off using the ingredients to make canned foods. Honey dishes are the worst with a couple of them being worth barely more than a jar of unprepared honey alone. At least this was the case before all the prices got nerfed the other day.

Recipes might have been just about worth it back in the day when you had to can products one at a time but now the cookbooks are essentially pointless.

I don't know where I can get a lot of fish at one time, or it can only be lifted from the lake one by one with its own hands?

I heard somewhere some wifes goes fishing, dont know if its true, mine does not

I disagree; especially if you sell those recipe items at the September festival you will indeed profit greatly.

• Food - John's - Festival
  
• Sushi - 20.80 - 41.60
  
• Rafter's soup - 22.40 - 44.80
  
• Bakery fish special - 21.60 - 43.20
  
• Fish in tomato sauce - 8.79 - 17.58
  
• Fish in aroma oil - 9.59 - 19.18
  
• Fish (reddish) raw - 2.80 - 5.60
  
• Fish (silver) raw - 3.36 - 6.72

This is just a short list of some of the prices possible. Also, Honey recipes are worth even more than the above listed Fish recipes.

NOTE: I have not yet seen if prices for these items fluctuate over time like other commodities, so the prices listed above, may vary.

I collected these numbers yesterday. I don't remember when any update arrived, but this may have been after.

But, I have been selling to the September Festival for over a week, & have always received good prices.

Correct in that mostly get from fishing. Maybe this would be another good task for the children to do???

Otherwise as mentioned you can sometimes find other NPC's that are willing to trade fish. I regularly buy all raw commodities from John & NPC's. I then upgrade those items & thus turn them over for a profit. This is a very good practice for starting a new game, & will net you a decent source of income over time.
