Guild Wars 2

I am currently trying to make Celestial armor and weapons for some of my characters. I have made all the items I need to craft it but when I go into discovery the insignia’s or inscriptions don’t show up. I have already put in for a bug report on this. Searched the Forums and can’t find anyone else talking about this. Are Celestial stats going away and that is why you can’t craft or is there a bug in game that is causing this. A little help would be nice.

You cannot discover those recipes, you have to buy them from what’s left of an event, maybe 6 months ago.

At the moment I don’t recommend you make any celestial all-stat gear. Anet has said they’re doing “something” with crit dmg gear because ‘zerker gear" is OP in the game. Unfortunately for Anet, crit dmg is the last remaining useful stat on Celestial gear, and they don’t really know how to respond to us.

It does require an unlock which means that you need to discover it in the discovery panel.

Go search “celestial” on the trading post.

You’ll find your recipes there. Have a nice day.

To be fair, ANet acknowledged that Celestial is getting hit the hardest by the ferocity change, and have said they’re considering raising the overall stats to make up for it.

Please show me where they said that.

Right here

Right here

Thank you, but I will remain wary until I see what they decide.

I put a ton of effort into my celestial ascended gear and I’m not making a 2nd set of any sort of ascended gear for another character. I just blew off the last of my Elonian leather for one ascended spinal backpiece, so I doubt I’m ever going make another one of those too.

But you know, Anet doesn’t make grindy games…

Honestly….

The stat boost needs to be somewhat significant then. An additional +2 for all stats won’t even come close to making up for the MF and critical dmg nerfs.

I am extremely annoyed right now. I didn’t know that Celestial armor pieces behave differently from every other exotic armor in the game (i.e. you need recipes for each piece rather than discovering each piece.) Each piece’s recipe costs multiple gold. Yes, I suppose I could have looked up a guide and realized this, but how is this intuitive in any way? I blew through a lot of materials and gold and now I’m stuck with insignias that I cannot use.

Because celestial was introduced later than everything else and for some bizarre reason they must have thought it was going to be so good that it needed gating behind massive walls….

I’ve made my celestial armour, I would like to not have to do it again. It is not fun to deal with and the gating makes no sense when to craft any other stat is so simple.

The recipes are dropping again right now from the ultimate citizens bag, so prices will go down.

I agree its very stupid, its the same thing with zealot’s and Keeper’s ascended armor. Like 500+g just to get the recipes to craft a full set of ascended keepers armor. Ridiculous.

Keepers recipes are also still dropping from the ultimate citizens rescue bag, so we might see prices easing up on those.

I wanted to stop by and say thanks for the feedback. We do feel that the celestial stat set will be hit the hardest with the upcoming critical damage changes, so we are looking at possibly boosting the overall stats by a small amount.

Also the celestial stat set in PvP is using a much lower stat multipliers than the PvE versions so we will be looking at changing this as well. Nothing is set in stone, but I wanted to let guys know this is something we are discussing.

Two years ago I started with my Ranger, and he’s my 400+ Weaponsmith.
Now he’s getting hit by not being able to craft the Orichalcum Celestial Imbued Inscript… That wipes out all of my progression and investment in the entire line of Celestial based weapons that all of my various “characters” use when they finally make it to 80th Level, which is when they “qualify” to be able to use them.

My ENTIRE Guild Wars 2 has now been entirely crippled in this single blow.

Why cant he craft celestial inscriptions?

…
Two years ago it was at best early betas. The game is only a year and a half old.
And second… if you have played since beginning, and if your various characters all use celestial weapons, why did you not try to obtain methods to produce said weapons till now? You could have done so easily when the Zephyrite LS was running.
Third: if you haven’t obtaind any method to produce them, why are you talking about progression and investment into celestial weapons? By your own admission you have made none…
(and fourth: the inscription recipes and materials to produce them are still obtainable on TP)
