I find it very ironic that the majority of the recipes I get from the Cashier are COOKING recipes! That's a craft that isn't even adequately represented in this event! I still have recipes from last year sitting around because I couldn't sell them.
So far this year I've received at least 15 cooking recipes, but only 3 alchemy recipes, 2 carpentry recipes, 3 Blacksmithing recipes (1 repeat), 3 tailoring recipes (1 repeat), and 5 armorcrafting recipes (3 repeats). So Cooking alone has accounted for almost half of the recipes I've received so far this year.
Am I just unlucky, or is this happening to other people? It would seem to me that since there are more blacksmithing & armorcrafting recipes to get, that those would show up more often than the other crafts.
Oh, and the potions are nice, but I don't understand why they have to have a 7 day expiration date!
