This recipe is learned from the cooking trainer. It's pretty clear it's one of the two "gap filler" level up xpac recipes. You know this if you do any profession at all. The xpac always gives you new "low" level recipes to skill up that start before the previous cap and take you a few points into the new skills.

Except... nobody can find the ingredients (which appear to be vendor bought items). So you have a gap filler easy level up recipe that can't be crafted. This seems possibly a bit sloppy to me.

If anyone has any information to show me how dumb I am, and exactly where these can be found, I will be more than happy to hear it. Thanks!

You mean Blizzard and beta testers missed something in the millions of things they added in the expansion?

How shameful.

I honestly don't know. I mean... truly I don't. This seems like something that would be near impossible to just "miss". There are 2 progression gap cooking recipes. The person / team in charge of cooking just "forgot" to add the ingredients for 1 of the 2 recipes? I can't quite believe that, but it sure seems like it.

You mean like how the Earthen Ring quests in Vash'jir weren't awarding rep with Earthen Ring? Like, something that _any_ tester playing through the quest lines once should have caught? Yeah, I agree. Shameful.

In QA parlance, this is called an escape due to incomplete test procedures or a conscious decision not to exercise this part of the code manually. Granted, the 80/20 rule applies to Blizzard as well us mere mortals but you'd think they would have at least had testers level up all skills, run through all the quest chains, etc. a few times before releasing it. There's a difference between an edge case bug and one that anyone playing through normally should have caught.

Ah the fanbois are out in force again. Blizzard can do no wrong.

BTW, this is something that could be tested and caught without actual human play testers, by mining and cross referencing their own data.

But that would be work.

Where did I say they did no wrong? If you expect perfection in an expansion the size and scope of Cataclysm (or any of the other expansions) then it is you that has the problem.

By all means go play one of the other MMOs that do everything perfect and that are better games than WoW.

Ohh wait there aren't any.

From what I learned, the components are missing in the game and is a known issue on the forums.

So, indirectly, yes. Blizzard did forget.

Deathwing ate them.

Obviously this is a lore issue, not a bug.

As far as I know, the cocoa beans for the coffee recipe are also missing. Nobody has confirmed where they can be found anyway.

However, don't blame the beta testers. I submitted oodles of bug reports, and have found more than a couple of things I bugged, are live in the released game. Also, crafting was horribly broken through most of beta, I personally gave up checking back to see if they fixed it on just about every toon. But I was doing the cooking and fishing dailies, and I don't recall these two recipes being in. There's a lot of stuff that wasn't quite finished, they they threw in during the last couple weeks (and after closing beta.. why they didn't keep it running through to launch, I don't know).

Personally, I believe they triaged the bugs and decided a number of issues could just wait and be fixed post release, as they could not miss their release date.

The cocoa beans just went in with this morning's "rolling restarts". Along with stuff to make the other brew recipes (hops and such).

They REALLY need to up the rate on mining resources in Vashj'ir and Mt H. zones, it's ridiculous right now. I can't get enough to even prospect and make JC recipes to unlock the dailies. The AH prices for ore, cloth, etc. are insane, of course... because plenty of people have tons of money (me not included) and are too impatient to farm their mats so will pay stupid crazy prices. They need to counter this by increasing the drop rate, IMO.

There is also currently no level 85 PvP gear in the game right (except crafted)?

Why do they need to increase the drop rate? I have no problem getting mats and leveling my professions at a steady pace. I enjoy selling them to people with more money than patience too. Supply and demand. If you want it now now now then pay for the limited resource. Working perfectly.

If they increase the drop rate they'd just have to decrease it later.

Expansion isn't even out a week yet. You don't have to max every skill in the first week. Put it on cruise for a week.

Drop rates are fine on my server, if not a bit giving.
