Guild Wars 2

I believe I have made a year long mistake with recipe sheets.

I assumed since I was able to consume them on any character that the recipe from the sheet was then account bound and would be available for crafting but now I find unless I consume the sheet on the character with that particular crafting skill, that the recipe is lost forever. I have had to buy many recipes 2x and others lost forever.

Why is is possible to consume a recipe sheet and have it gone forever with no warning?

Is this working as intended?

Yes it is unfortunately.

I don’t think the sheet is lost, but you would have to learn and level that particular profession with the character you consumed it on.

You can learn all crafting professions on one character and you won’t forget anything, but you can only have 2 crafting professions active at one time and it costs to switch.

That’s how I understand the system.

Its not lost forever as you learned it on that character that consumed it.
If you meet the crafting level requirements, you can craft the recipe.

As crafting advancement is also character bound (only the achievements are account bound), I think its logical that the recipes are also.

Working as intended.

It is working as intended, but yeah, I do agree that perhaps it should be changed so that you can’t use a recipe sheet unless that particular character has that crafting discipline unlocked. Would make it harder to accidentally use the recipe on the incorrect character.

Or just a warning dialog when you use it (“This recipe will now be learned for THIS CHARACTER ONLY”…..blah blah).
