Miner's Mud (http://www.thehiddenforest.org/recipe.php?id=7754)
Trivial at 255 (perfect)
Ingredients:
Chocolate (1)
Steaming Water (1)
Generic Coffee Beans (1)
------------------------
After our first evening of exploring the plane of fire I have amassed over 100 Steaming Waters. I thought this would be to help me build up my brewing skill, much like the Air-Infused Waters helped me build up my smithing skill for the Kael armour.
The four recipes that Steaming Water is used in are all a bit too much (would involve a lot of foraging/farming I don't have time to do) except the recipe above, where I can buy the coffee beans from Riwel in THV.
Chocolate was the final ingredient and it sounded so generic that I thought it must be vendor bought; indeed, I should be right as the live database shows it is freely available in abysmal, east freeport and elsewhere.
Riwel doesn't sell it so I thought "fine, I'll go to Abysmal Sea" and upon locating the three brewing vendors there I was saddened to see no chocolate at all, despite them supposedly selling it on live. Indeed, the alla clone suggests chocolate is not available anywhere in the game on this server.
There are alternatives for me, I know: the most obvious being Taelosian Tea which is entirely vendor bought. Yet it would seem so much more logical if I could actually use the hundreds of Steaming Waters I am certain to loot in the coming days of questing for my Ornate armour.
In short:
Can I has chocolate now, please? If not, then it's no big deal but is there a reason it's been removed? Whatever that reason might be and in the event that I cannot have chocolate for brewing, what is the purpose of the Steamed Water dropping in such abundance?
PS: Ideally, Riwel would sell it, if you can add it
