Are you certain the Banana Crepes are a limited recipe? To master to 1 star you have to cook it 20 times, and it'll be more for 2 and 3 stars. Typically it's 10, 20, 30 or less to master limited time recipes.

That's what I'm wondering as well, seems a high requirement if it's a limited recipe

It does have a timer on it. Right now it's saying I have 13 days remaining on it. Not sure why they changed the usual mastery requirement though.

I put it under limited time for now because of the timer shown and we had limited recipes in the past. I'll change the caption when players can confirm it stayed after they complete their cruise and goal. :) It would be nice if we could keep it after the cruise ends.

I see another change. The gem recipe now requires European butter (a gold stamp) to cook it. :( Not only it's difficult to complete a cruise to win a gem recipe, now we need another difficult ingredient to cook it. And if we dont have gold stamps to cook it, this grand prize recipe becomes useless? :rolleyes:

It could mean that the timer is for how long you can learn the recipe. There have been cases where a timer remained on permanent recipes from a goal and people have questioned the timer near the end of the goal.

By the time people finish the cruise it's too late. It would be nice to know before so we can hold off on trying to master it until after the cruise. I really wanted so know sooner so it wouldn't take up a counter

Will Lani come with her gold stamp express order? The 10 day cruise maybe finished, depending on when it was started. The timer to get the recipe is running when she comes. Correct me if I'm wrong.

[hungryres]

Yesssssss! Counter space is valuable.

i always think they introduce / bring back old limited dishes is to occupy your counter space.

back then it is just limited, which you could choose to earn star for mastery or not, or there was also side goal too,,, i can't remember.
it stopped for a while, but recently they brought that back in terms of side goal with incentive of stamp to complete, therefore, even i master recent two (?) event's limited recipe which were old dishes, still have to cook those for stamp/ side goal thingy.

[chrissydid]

Woh! The final gem recipe will require a butter???? That is huge. That's an incredibly expensive dish to make. All the work to get a butter and then turn around and *maybe* get a gem from it?

Yeah... May not bother finishing this cruise. Wow. Super disappointed. I'm of the camp that could not care less for stamps. I think the stamp challenges are really boring, time consuming, and stamps are not fun to earn.

I do the cruises because I like getting fun decorations for "free" (aka not spending gems) and to get a gem recipe so that I can earn gems for decor and building.

As I've been top leveled out for a while, this might be the end of the road for me if this is the new direction of the game.

[SunUpSunDown]

Lani is not necessary. Gold stamps are rewarded 2 cruise days. There is yet plenty of time to process the stamp into European butter.
Save 1 butter to unlock the gem recipe at the end of the cruise.

i suspect the complaint was that the recipe called for butter in the first place which needs the elusive gold stamp to make which then makes the recipe itself hard to make.

[SunUpSunDown]

Two years ago started playing Restaurant Story 2. It's easier now than the beginning because all shops and restaurant are expanded to the max. I,m at level 60. My personal goal was to master recipes. That didn't happen. Last year stamps were introduced in June. Lani came in August.
Last month, more than a year of time, I finally mastered all stamp recipes. Sitting on 800+ duck eggs, I ignore most quests for those now. The turbinado sugar I use in one recipe that was mastered months ago.

I use stamp ingredients for cruise goals.

With no stamp recipes to unlock, I have 10,000+ recipe cards.

So. I will try to get the pizza crepe that uses European Butter. If it takes a month or more than a Year to master, so be it.

I can play RS2 as it is. To be honest, it,s the same old same old. Enough comfort and familiar to not quit. So far. Maybe I stay because I like how I decorated the restaurant.

[kgp70282]

Every two weeks a cruise? Isn't that a lot? Do not get me wrong I love the cruises it would be nice to have a little more time in between like in the past they would have a twelve day event like with the Yeti or Mina or when they did the renaissance fair I miss those types of goals as well

[Carbuck]

While the gem producing recipe does require European butter which is earned from gold stamps it does increase the difficulty. My approach is to keep on cooking recipes. The bulk of my gold stamps come from cooking recipes on the various stoves and it is supplemented by Lani's Goals and now the side goal for gold stamps if they continue.

Good luck everyone!

[SunUpSunDown]

With the new uses for stamps, has the drop rate been increased for gold and other stamps? Maybe new and different opportunities to get stamps will be introduced.

Yes, When I cook a lot I too get gold and other stamps.

[Carbuck]

S8 put gold stamps back into the cruises as prizes. Along with reviving Lani's Express Order that yields a gold stamp and adding a cruise side goal( yields 3 gold stamps), I'd say there are more opportunities to get gold stamps.

[skediddlekiddle]

When it comes to getting those three gold stamps on the side quest, I'm paying more attention to how many days are left on the cruise rather than how many days the side quest says I have to make banana crepes. Not getting caught short again!

And we need 5 of the batter in cup plus the butter. >.<
For those who haven't tackled the banana crepe and who don't plan on doing it with the cruise, looks like you'll have PLENTY of time to get it done...well at least maybe 5 days.

I'm cooking the banana crepes for Goal 3 before the cruise ends so I can complete it, in case it happens again.

[SunUpSunDown]

Cook banana crepe 40 times for 3rd gold star.

[Carbuck]

I've already cooked the required 15 banana crepes for the side goal. I don't plan on mastering the crepe recipe. The last 2 days of the cruise will be challenging enough for me.

Congrats MysticOrchard on completing the cruise! WTG!

I had alot of trouble with this cruise. And I'm at Level 60. But I kept getting orders that take 8 hours to cook, or it needed breading, batter, or something else. I went down to the wire, to 5 hours. Used way to many gems. I'm so upset I'm taking the day off from playing the game.

[Rainstorms45]

I'm supposed to have 10 hours left on my cruise but now it's gone :(( I would not have made it, but was almost done with day nine... I can't finish these cruises always just make it to the last day ....

I used way too many gems as well but we were driving home on the last day and I wasn't able to play much. I don't really like that the goal recipe requires European butter.

[Carbuck]

I liked the side goal that gave 3 gold stamps. It would be nice to see more diverse characters than the ones we always seem to get with the gem recipe.

[chrissydid]

the final gem recipe is a real disappointment. I only got 2 drops of batter in over 24 hours.

Plus, Pizza Crepe only brings you 300 servings, 450 points, 9 stars and a gem, yet it takes 5 special items drops AND a butter. meanwhile, I could use that butter to earn 50,000 points making pain au chocolate or 40,000 making salted ice cream (not to mention the other recipes.) And if a cruise comes, I need to have butter in stock to make cruise requests now!

I've made Pizza Crepe once and do not plan on making it again.

I agree with you both on this Pizza Crepe. The gem recipes have always been my motivation to do cruises which kept me going in this game. Unfortunately the need of butter in this prize recipe had much dampened that. Very sad to say, I had cooked it for the first and final time. :( I must remember to check the ingredients needed first next time.
