Don't remember where i read this:
The orc shaman apprentice in west commons would occasionally drop unreadable scroll (don't rem the item exactly). when you took these scrolls ?? to the gnome that spawns int he bar in east freeport you would get a low level spell in return commonly but on rare occasions you could get a recipe for trade skills.
It was postulated that this is the only way one could find the unsolved recipes but would take a horrendous amount of time.
A few years ago i tried this on eqmac as that was the most unsullied (changed code of eqlive available at the time) I did it roughly 20 times and i did get recipes occasionally about 1 in 10 scrolls but they where known recipies from the books available at various merchants. IT could have been possible to maybe get some unknown trade skill recipe, but i could not dedicate that much time to this project as i busy raiding and doing all kind of crazy quest on eqmac at the time.
