Guild Wars 2

A long time ago, I remember there was a “+” button in the crafting interface, next to each component, supposedly to craft those components automatically. It didn’t do anything.

Not quite so long ago, I saw a video where someone was using that button, and the game automatically crafted the sub-component.

Now I decided to give GW2 another try, and the button doesn’t even appear.

Any idea what happened to that button?

GW2’s crafting UI is a mess, with a huge spaghetti list that you need to keep going up and down to craft each component. It’s bad enough that we can’t get a “bill of materials” for an item, but at least if there was a button to craft components we wouldn’t need to scroll up and down so much.

never saw this button so i dont know – but would like to have it^^

and i agree 100%. The crafting ui is a mess and they should redesin it somehow like they did with archievment ui with some categories for refinement compnents and items per levelrange

The button was there a few weeks ago (IIRC), and it was working.
I remember because i was looking for the functionality the other day and, ofc, couldn’t find it. -_-

I can’t find anything about this in any patch notes, either, but I’m sure the button existed, and I think it did work at some point.

I am not sure how if it is still working now, but a few month ago it was possible to craft additional ingredient when you where making discovery (a + shows up), but I never remember having seen that for using a already known recipe.

I think most people remembering this button forgot there where making discovery…
