Now, as they say, the thrill of the hunt is in the chase, so straight off I am NOT proposing that HCS tells as all exactly where each potion is. I enjoy looking too much. It's only fair that those who put in the effort get some reward.
However, in an effort to avoid yesterday's confusion over false rumours etc, I propose HCS issues a one off riddle at the time of the update, which contains clues as to the location. Nothing blatantly obvious, just a hint. It would be like those quests (3 Magic Stones springs to mind) which require journeying to 'The land of the golems' or 'a mysterious dungeon', only tougher.
If what people wrote on the board didn't fit the riddle, ask for a Screenshot or ignore it completely. I think the puzzle element will be fun, but also result in recipes being found more quickly, and with less wasted stamina - provided you use your head.
Finally, the hint wouldn't say what to do once there, so you would still have to check out any shops, champions, or creatures in that area, and most likely multiple maps too.
Just a suggestion, let me know what you think!
P.S. I would also like to see more equipment related recipes in the near future, as the Mystic Pick was a great idea!

I like it I really do it involves a bit more treasure hunting. They could even give the hint in the form of a certian monster, because some monsters apear in more than one place, but it would still narrow it down.

I will second this, This is needed.
Sadly yesterday some bad info got spread around, many people wasted stamina on "more than 1 wild goose chases" while the ones that lied where killing the correct creeps making a fortune. Some people inadvertantly passed on false information too. This kind of thing could have ruined someone who has limited stamina/resources day easily.
Only accurate information should be applied to the guide/wiki.
Also, As a side note.
Not sure why a hint would be all that bad considering only 3 out of 4 recipes where found yesterday.

Update - still only 3 of 4 found, so I think a hint would be in order. Also, BUMP!
