Suggestion About Sweet Honey Wine Cooking

Hello there! September here!

Recently, I started to try and make Sweet Honey Wine from scratch. I got all the needed materials except Top-Quality Cooking Honey, which is a Blue grade item that can only be made from grinding Wild Beehives, which means you have to go and gather the hives and grind them for a chance to get the items. I got all the other materials and I'm aware of the Blue-Green-White ingredient ratio when cooking. The real problem started when I tried to substitute usual Cooking Honey (with the ratio) instead of Top-Quality Cooking Honey. I tried three times before stopping the failure streak.

After searching around a little on the internet, I found out that you can't substitute a green/white counterpart of Cooking Honey in the place of the Blue version. The real problem is that retail version has it this way JUST to force people to buy the pearl shop variant with real money. For a private server that LITERALLY hands out pearls, I assume it's kind of pointless to keep the mechanic the way it is as the only thing it creates is frustration, in my opinion.

Suggestion: Enable Top-Quality Cooking Honey to be replaced by its inferior counterparts. If needed, enable the same usage logic for Full-bodied Exotic Herbal Wine so that the lesser counterpart (Exotic Herbal Wine) can be used to substitute for the higher quality. If possible, let all recipes be the same way, without the item quality limitations so we can cook with lesser quality ingredients like... pretty much everything else.

Thanks for your time and thanks in advance if this issue is ever changed/fixed.
Best regards,
September out.
