The Blacksmith item ought to come from Atlantis - Coast Guard, Ancient Dive Suit, Juggernaut.
Every other Hidden Recipe used a Blacksmith item from the same location.
That eliminates everything with at least 22 Attack AND 14 Defense. Items with a lower attack/higher defense or higher attack/lower defense are still eligible, if inefficient.
So we assume Blacksmith + gift + (something else).
The 3rd item might be a gift, or not. One of the two non-Blacksmith items HAS to be unlocked at level 175.
Items at level 175 are Ancient Chest (a gift), Merman/Mermaid (purchased mateys), and the Red Pearl Compass (adventure drop).
Also, boss drops are often used.
This narrows our choices down considerably:
1/3 options for the Blacksmith
1/4 options for the level 175 item
ONE option if the level 175 is not a gift but MANY options if the level 175 is a gift
Assuming that the last item is a boss drop:
1/2 Blacksmith
1 Ancient Chest
1/3 Boss Drops
There are actually FOUR boss drops - Atlantis Warrior Cannon(12/21), Atlantis Sub(70/70), Atlantis Warrior Armor(15/25), Atlantis Blade (20/10) - but the Atlantis Sub has too much power to be used.
Also, there are THREE Blacksmith items - Coast Guard(64/64), Juggernaut(13/14), Ancient Divesuit(10/10) - but the Coast Guard has too much power to be used.
6 combinations, let's do it!
Ancient Chest + Atlantis Blade + Ancient Divesuit
Ancient Chest + Atlantis Blade + Juggernaut
Ancient Chest + Atlantis Warrior Cannon + Ancient Divesuit
Ancient Chest + Atlantis Warrior Cannon + Juggernaut
Ancient Chest + Atlantis Warrior Armor + Ancient Divesuit
Ancient Chest + Atlantis Warrior Armor + Juggernaut
None worked. Any ideas? I *think* it's the boss drop idea that is wrong...
