Guild Wars 2

I was messing around with my Artificer when I noticed that I had another recipe available. This one was Crystalline Dust, Ancient Bone, Putrid Essence & Water…which made me scratch my head because that’s the recipe for Powerful Potion of Undead Slaying which I already had unlocked.

I hit the ‘Craft’ button anyone and out popped a new, rare potion, an Extended Potion of Undead Slaying. The stats are the same as the Powerful version with two small differences, one, the duration for it is 2 minutes…so not very extended. The other problem is that they’re soulbound, also not helpful.

Looking on the trade post there’s are recipes for sale for other Extended Potions, but they’re exotics.

I posted a related topic earlier about the same thing. Only I was talking in reference to the other recipe you discovered, Crystalline Dust, Incandescent Dust, Charged Lodestone, and Water which I can only assume is meant to be the Extended Potion of Ghost Slaying Recipe.

I’ve been posting a couple of related topics about this throughout the day. The most recent about the dungeon vendors selling the recipes for these potions we are discovering through artificer. This is a redundancy and the recipes of the Black Lion Trading Company are the recipes that we discover as artificers.

I noticed the 2 minute notation a few builds ago and made an in-game bug report about it, but that has not been addressed and is understandable with the shear number of posts the community sends them daily.

In yet another post I put up today, I addressed the matter of utility buffs (potions are considered this and their functionality working differently than other buff items, namely you die and the utility buff disappears).

These are minor mechanics and database table things, but they do add up to something larger.

The tooltip is bugged. They don’t last for 2 minutes. It lasts an hour.

It is the same thing as the powerful potion except it is soulbound.

And the exotic recipes you get from dungeon vendors for 500 tokens. I think they just screwed up.
