Seems strange discovering all recipes for professions isn’t tracked in the achievements system.

Would be good for the trading post as many items are overly supplied. And would also give a bit more of a focus towards crafting, without having to worry about reward balance.

Anyone else think so?

It would also spike all the Fine and Rare ingredients prices through the roof since you’d need to make all those variants you don’t even want. It would be fine for Cooking but everything else it’s not a good idea.
But then, who’s going to be able to get all of the Cooking recipes without a guide anyway?

New recipes are added to the game with holiday events and things like South Shore. It would be much harder for new folks to get that achievement depending on when they joined. It would be better to get credit for a fixed number of discoveries.

My chef knows all of them I only cheated on the ice cream recipes because I didn’t want to buy more snowflakes than I needed, and one of the level 400 meal recipes because it was expensive to guess what could possibly go together (and I had unfortunately eaten on of the components).

It was expensive (I found most of the ingredients, but you still have to buy flour, salt, etc.) and took a long time but I enjoyed it.
