I would say it's all on our luck, are you feeling lucky? Plus I think you can Still get recipes with like a higher level char and that would makes your runs faster......but your level may have something to do with being able to find a lvl 5 or 15 recipe because I've done like 50 runs there with my 55 char and not one recipe, gem or anything. So I'm not to sure there?
Well i dont do the deli, i do lvl 4 and camp at the end. He spawns at least once every 2 minutes so i probaly killed him at least 30 times today.

i dont think lvl has anything to do with the reciple. But i heard if u go in a full group thats 5 players including yourself there is better chance of getting better items and if you all buy lucky exiliar

Its all luck really. It doesn't depend on how many people you have in your group since everyone gets their own individual roll. I also don't believe the player level has any influence either as crafting items/recipe are level 1 equipment, it just for a different level recipe. The only thing that's has any influence is Luck Elixers, but its very very very slightly.

Same haha. I farmed FH4 and Deli for a full week with minimal crafting drops on a level 55, 5 and 10. Saw no difference in drops between the three. And I have yet to get a single pink from BS also lol.
As for Luck Elixers, I used quite a bunch when level 10 farming was popular. Gave up after using 100's and someone got the level 10 pink armor on their like 6th run with no elixer. Kinda gave up hope on em haha.

No, the number of mob kills in a certain time doesn't influence drop rates.

Bibobi it doesn't matter how many enemies you kill in a certain amount of time. Drops will still be the same....horrible haha.
EDIT: looks like baked beat me to the answer...your quick!

+1 to the above. Farmed FH4 and Deli a lot, probably 1000+ drops. Lots of crafting items and Gems but only one recipe. Recipe dropped after using Luck Elixir, in Deli with 2 of us, but was some time after it was taken. How long do they last? Is it 5mins same as the others? Still farming but thinking about giving up as not very fruitful atm.

Ya I believe all the elixers last 5 mins. Ya I'd rather farm in BS.

If you are paying attention, not semi afk at work, then running meathead's deli repeatedly is more effective. All three bosses in meathead's deli can drop recipes, gems, or scraps. With a high level character you can do three deli runs every five minutes. The same hour spent camping on meathead in FH4 for 20 drops will get you 100 drops by repeatedly running Deli instead.

Yeah, it's pure luck....I afk farmed FH4 at work for 4 hours one day and got 6 gems and several scraps. Next time i did for 4 hours and got NO gems and only 1 scrap in all that time....I figure AFK at work whatever I get is something I wouldn't have gotten by not afking....doing Deli runs does seem to be more productive but can produce a lot of dry runs as well. I haven't gotten a recipe in a while and I've never seen a recipe for a 15 level item drop.....I have slightly less than average luck IMO.

Any level and full group myths were obliterated a couple nights ago when I got a L5 recipe and a bugged L15 recipe in less than one hour of solo semi-afk FH4 farming using a L53.
It's all random.

how do you semi AFK?

It's just a term some of us like to use when farming FH4 while doing something else.
When you hear Meathead attacking, you kill him.
Then you go back to being afk, occasionally killing mobs and/or opening chests.

Right now Im doing the semi AFK thing. So far in 1.5 hours Ive gotten 1 recipe and 2 gems and 3 scraps on fh4.

Jnass, I swear you have the worst luck for recipes lol. I remember how mad you got when I got two in the same day LOL.

its all Luck, it is the lucky ones that get recipe. I think if a person does 10 hrs of deli he has more chance of getting recipe but thats what is is chance. Its like buying lottery u can buy 1000 tickets that will increase your chance but you might not win and the guy who brought one could be the winner.

is FH4 the one with Meathead only - no spawn to worry about? There are 3 IV's so wasn't sure...
I don't have the patience to level up so my main is now a lvl 35. I guess I shouldn't have deleted my 47 dex bear. He woulda been good for this lol.
