Guild Wars 2

Since I didn’t find this in any searches:

Currently, insignia/inscriptions for several stat combinations (Soldier’s, Shaman’s etc.) can’t be crafted, meaning anyone who wants to craft ascended items with those stats has to rely on either luck in salvaging exotic gear, or the trading post, to get the necessary components.

In order to make these components available for crafting without having to add more materials to the game, why not introduce multi-material recipes for these using existing T6 mats. Since most current recipes require 5 of a single T6 material for the insignia/inscription, you could have recipes for the currently-unavailable stats use smaller amounts of multiple materials; Soldier’s, for example, could use something like 3 Ancient Bones and 2 Vicious Fangs.

Thoughts/alternatives/places this has already been suggested?

Right now, nobody would craft them anyways because its cheaper to salvage them.
5 Orichalcum plated Dowels cost you 2.5g already, add 5 t6 mats and you are over 4g crafting cost already (we disregard ectos because you have to add them to the weapon/armor recipe, if you use a non crafted inscription/insignia).
Right now, every salvaged insignia (except sentinels) is cheaper than that.

Use your dungeon tokens to buy soldier/rabid etc exotic gear. Salvage. If you have them, use BL kits to improve your chances.

(Before you do this read up on which stat combos can be salvaged)

Are you someone who insist that every last component of everything you craft must acquired/crafted by yourself? If not then what would be the point of providing a more expensive alternative?

I would rather you just buy the ones I salvage so I can make monies.
