General Crafting Question: Discovery
Possible that the item is not actually discoverable but requires the purchase of a recipe from a vendor. I seem to recall that putting the items in does what you describe.
direct answer to your question: you already discovered that recipe. you have to go to production and craft it from there.

discovery… most things you make with crafting are discovered. meaning you ‘randomly’ see what you can throw together and get something out of it. I quote ‘randomly’ because 99.9% of things are predictable: throw in shoe soles, shoe upper, insignia, and you get boots of the type of the insignia.
which profession? I could give better examples.
there are many recipes that can not be discovered. Instead, you either buy them from a merchant or from the TP or get them as a drop from specific mobs (possibly only during certain events). For these, you need to have the recipe in the inventory of the character you want to learn it (make sure it is usable for a profession that character has), then ‘use’ it. it will then appear in the production tab (use the search if you can’t find it)

oh, the other alternative is that there is a recipe that requires those 3 ingredients plus a 4th one that you need to add.
if you add 1 ingredient, it might say ‘there are 68 discoverable recipes that have this ingredient’
adding a 2nd ingredient, it might say ‘there are 6 discoverable recipes that have these ingredients’
adding a 3rd could say ‘there is 1 discoverable recipe that has these ingredients’
but if the 1 discoverable recipe it is referring to requires a 4th ingredient, the recipe would not be discoverable until you add that 4th ingredient.
which 3 ingredients were you using?

Other point is that one of the components requires MULTIPLEs of an item and you don’t have enough available…..there is a #/# under the item in the discovery window and if it is RED you don’t have enough of that item.
