Guild Wars 2

So there is probably an easy solution to his. I am trying to craft and none of my items show up when I am in the crafting station. I want to discover recipes but when I’m in the discover mode there are no items populating the left tiles. And it won’t let me drop times from my inventory into those tiles. How do I go about getting these items to show up and become usable? I have a screenshot of that I’m talking about.

you have to talk to the master weaponsmith next to the station first to become a weaponsmith yourself.
The discovery should become available.
However, at lvl 0 you start with refining bronze ingots or green wood planks, then you start crafting bronze weapon components. Those recipes are auto learned so you dont have to discover them. Once you have crafted a couple components, they will be available in the dicovery panel.
So a bronze greatsword blade and hilt plus an inscription (also auto learned) will let you discover a greatsword.
