Guild Wars 2

I am L400 Master tailor and crafted a Celestial Intricate Gossamer Insignia to make Celestial Exalted Boots.

I can drag my Gossamer Shoe Upper and Gossamer Shoe Sole to Discovery , but the Celestial Intricate Gossamer Insignia in not there to be selected. Even though it is in my inventory. Also I have never made one before so it is not in the Production tab.

Why can I not make these shoes?

Thanks for any help

Most of the Celestial recipes are bought from the trading post, not discovered. They were originally a drop during a Living Story episode, the Bazzaar of the Four Winds.

The wiki sort of says so, in a round about way. If you wiki any of them it will say recipe, not discovery. Any crafted item that says recipe means you have to buy it from someone, either an NPC or a player.

You cannot discover Celestial recipes (except maybe the Jewelcrafting?). You will need to buy the recipe from the Trading Post.

Huh? I never said was trying to craft a recipe.

I am NOT trying to craft a recipe. I crafted a Celestial Insignia and the discovery will not let me use it.

They are saying you need to buy a recipe for the boots… You had a recipe for the Insignia, now you just need a recipe for the boots …

Recipe: [&ClMcAAA=]

I can’t confirm that’s the correct recipe, not in game right now… But I believe you will need that as well.

Ok, let me rephrase: You cannot discover any Celestial things.

To make Celestial pants you have to buy the Celestial Insignia Recipe (which you have) AND you must buy the Celestial Pants Recipe (of whichever armor type you want to make). After you own both recipes, you can then make the parts and assemble them (but NOT on the discovery page, on the main crafting page).

My mistake. I though it worked like other insignia. You get the mats and apply the insignia.

Thanks for helping me under stand that. I was looking for a cheep skin for the boot. But will not work out that way since the recipe is so expensive. Looks like Ilost 5 ectro on the insignia.

Thanks all for the quick answer, and the crafting class!

Hold on to the recipe. I believe it has been stated that the Zephyr Sanctum will make a return at some point which would make acquiring the recipe inexpensive.

I know that’s kind of a bummer to have to wait that long, but at least then your ecto investment won’t be lost.

Looks like the Medium armor recipes are relatively inexpensive, while the Heavy is not too outrageous (I would not consider it), but the light armor recipes are VERY pricey. That follows as the only profession that can actually benefit greatly from Celestial is Ele. Guess I better go back and look at the recipes I have stashed in my Guild Bank….

Its because Celestial Ele Builds are the most common and shared, with guard builds a close second.

Personally, i got celestial builds for my warrior for pve and wvw and i am sure there is a niche celestial build for any class.

Right now, though, i would discourage you from trading with celestial recipes or buying any for personal use for celestial armor, until ascended armorcrafting gets released. If they release a seperate recipe for the ascended piece that doesnt require the exotic equivalent, the prices for the exotic recipes will drop.

I doubt they deviate much from the basic formula for the weapons and not require the exotic inscriptions (but I guess it IS possible).

I don’t even have any craft to 500, or even have all my Alts in Exotic yet. I’m a long way from falling all over myself to craft anything Ascended yet.

Nonetheless you bother to comment on a topic that you dont have any knowledge to talk about?

After the update the price might go down a bit, once everyone can craft ascended celestial pieces with recipes from the master craftspersons of those disciplines.

I don’t look for it to drop too far until the zephyr shenanigans come back, though.

I’ve buyed 2 days ago the 6 recipes needed to craft light celestial… 90 gold less or more, it’s a lot of money but i need those recipes before the ascended armor comes out, becouse i would try to craft the ascended one instead, i know myself very well, it’s what happened with the celestial staff :p

Wait for ascended armor crafting. The exotic inscription will be used for crafting ascended inscription, but the ascended armor piece will not require exotic recipe at all.

But you will need 500 tailoring (farm farm farm), and also globes of dark matter, tons of cloth and who knows what… for just few stats…
