Guild Wars 2

I’m not maxed out yet as a Jeweler (I’m somewhere in the high 240s) but I picked up a couple of Sapphire Orbs. The problem is, they say that they’re only useable by Artificers, not Jewelers.

It shouldn’t be because I’m not lvl 400 yet, it should just say: “Jeweler (400)” in red, like every other crafting material that my discipline can use that’s above my lvl, right?

The thing is, it only lists Artificer (400) for my alt that is an Artificer (but not very far along). So it’s not just the one character.

Is this a general bug or just weirdness specific to my account?

The reason the tooltip only list them for artificer is because there are no Tier 6 (400) discoverable jeweler recipes for the Orbs. You must filigree them using a Karma recipe (available at the master jeweler) before you can make the accessories.

Ah, thanks. Now that I know what to look for, it is on the wiki, but it’s not obvious. Maybe a note would help if others run into the same problem.
