    In addition, while all others are using their crystals to obtain and complete evil queen adventures and clocking up some nice experience and improving epic farmyard - our crystals are being thrown back in letters - I am at a loss to understand why BB would put so costly a feature up on a lotto basis
    And many have poured all their crystals into a fruitless search so far.

    I'm still doing letters even though I got the recipe. I do enough to do one Evil Queen venture a week for the sake of completion and having a fully upgraded epic farmyard that I don't even really need, but they aren't worth the effort. Not that it helps anyone who is still waiting for manuscripts, but I think the long letters are the best use of crystals.

    Agreed. I keep FY in star and when I do waste some time on that chain, I just pull it out of star while my gens are on an adventure and ug it and put it back. No room for it and until it is maxed out, not even worth thinking about altering the rest of my island's production.

    Anyone getting an idea about what the magic number is? I still don't have the crystals to do a long letter again, but am wondering if I am close to getting the recipe

    Of those people who have been trying to obtain the manuscript for a long time, have any done so since roll-out of cap?

    I opened a box after roll-out and got 50 gems - thought okay, I need to actually complete the full quest line. I did so and guess what ...another 50 gems.

    Submitted a ticket suggesting a bug or else to advise me what the cap is. I received a response saying they couldn't tell me the cap but to complete the letters one more time to activate the roll-out. I have completed it twice since, and took screenshots in case I am asked for proof. I am only sorry I didn't keep count of the amount of times I have done letters but I am so frustrated and despondent at this stage I am seriously thinking of quitting now.

    Has anyone else received the manuscript since roll-out?

    I have done 2 more with 2 in the process since they made a cap. I am really not even going to try any more. I am just logging in and doing a few things and going off somewhere else. I can't even get interested in playing right now. Maybe after a break, I'll get back into it.

    i had about 40 tries before upgrade for manuscript recipe, no joy...
    then after upgrade i have done 5 quets already and still no result....
    each time i get 50 gems....it is very annoying, since the upgrade is suppost to take previous tries into account.
    over 40 tries means less then 2.5% chance to get that recipe....it is a crock...
