I am now a lvl 38 cook. Yay me, right? I'm not tryin to earn any coin from it. I just want to help my toons and my friends toons. Where I find the actual product that the recipes give to be a great benefit and rate at which most but not all recipes drop to be quite fair, I find a problem with the order the recipes to be a little...unfair.
I never noticed before becuz...I dont know why I never noticed before. Prolly due to the fact that I'm pretty oblivious until I find a snag in my process and then I look into it and find that it's always been that way. Now, my question is what is the thought behind what recipe is what lvl?
Yesterday I went on my main and harvested harvested harvested. Met somebody new who also harvested all day so that was cool. I collected over 800 barsaleafs, 500 holly wood, and 500 silver. I thought I'm finally gonna get outta this tier...woohoo and I was all excited. I did get out of this tier.
Now, in the 30s the recipes fall like this:

I did 30 to 50 just to show what I mean. The way the recipes are looks like it's geared more towards melee classes as oppose to caster type. Don't get me wrong there are caster dishes that seem like they're there just so nobody will say anything about there NOT being any caster dishes, but look how far into the lvls the caster's recipes are as oppose to the melee recipes. I have ONE melee class that I play regularly and 3 casters. I just dont think they're fairly distributed. Why would I be able to learn a good mob dropped dish for a lvl 40 melee class at 36 and don't learn the caster one until 44...it's a lvl 40 dish and I dont learn it until 44!
I dont even mind that I learn the melee ones first. I care that I learn the caster ones so far in my cooking future as opposed to the melee ones. If I'm wrong explain the big picture to me. I'm a little slow. I admit it. I have NO strategic know how whatsoever. Why is this set up like this? I'll never keep my cook up to my main's standards at this rate...sigh...any feedback. I take CONSTRUCTIVE criticism very well and snide, patronizing remarks quite the opposite...lol.
