Please choose the category you would like to review from the list below. Note: We've tried to update the recipe lists based on the latest patch information as well as with information provided from gamers. If a recipe shows up as BUGGED, then it is still bugged thru version v1.05. If the item was initially bugged, but has been fixed as v1.05, it will be tagged as FIXED. A special thanks goes out to Peter Rhovan from the official Bioware NWN2 forums who provided tons of useful feedback on the recipes. Thanks Peter.
