    Recipe Scam

    Picture this-
    A crappy ass PUG. Youve wiped several times. Your gear is almost red. But your almost at the boss, so you keep going. Clearing some trash mobs, your group comes across a high-price, rare, Recipie, Plan, Book, anything like that.

    Lets say, Rank 9 Evis drops, and you are a Rogue who already has it. Keep that information to yourself. Or, a Greater Fire Protection recipie just dropped, but your professions are Skinning and Leatherworking. Shh, keep all this to yourself!

    Ok, back to Example 1- Rank 9 Evis drops, and you are a Rogue who already has it. These go for 50-200g on my realm, so of course your going to want it. Tell them you need it, ect ect, even if you dont. If and when you win it, they will of course want you to 'learn' it right away. But hey, you cant! Haha, wrong.

    There are two ways (that I use) to do this scam.

    #1. I either keep a low level cooking recipe in my bags, and use it. As there are plently of vendor whites, even after doing this 10 times, I still have extra.

    #2. The less better (I cant write today!) way. This one is much worse, and only works with Rogues. Put poison on your wep then, very fast, equip your AD commision. Then, un-equip it (I use outfitter for this). To them, it appears that you have just learned the recipie.

    The biggest problem with #2, is that the equiping of the AD trinket will show in the COMBAT LOG. But only if they are using the Blizzard default, and even then, the chances of them noticing are often slim..but use #1, and your chances of getting caught are slim to none at all!

    I hope others find this useful, I know I do!

    Re: Recipe Scam

    I was just reading this and noticed ive learnt all the white recepies in game . But then in the middle of naxx...boom i noticed a way for all of us recepie collectors who have already learnt white ones before to "learn" these ones. Get your argent dawn insignia, equip it. It makes a Very similar animation to that of learning a new pattern/forumla e.t.c. and supposing your in a group with newbs they shouldnt know what hit them :P.

    Enjoy this possible alternative

    Re: Recipe Scam

    too add, with the Argent Dawn commision thing. If you use a AD token, it looks the same as if your learning a recipie, i keep a few of these close by for the rare occasion. This is the easilest way todo it
