Guild Wars 2

All the time you see people activating their recipes on wrong characters. Why not have them account-wide? There are plenty of scenarios why they should be so.

-Edit-
Didn’t mean account-bound, but account-wide. -.-
Can’t edit the title anymore.

this would be a wonderful gold sink as well. At least for me. let me explain:
I’ve spent 400g getting weaponsmith and armorsmith to level 500 on an alt I don’t want anymore. she also several learned time-gated ascended recipes and a handful of can’t-get-anymore recipes. currently, I have to keep her around or lose all those recipes. If all recipes were account-unlocked, I wouldn’t waste a second getting weaponsmith and armorsmith to level 500 on different characters, using another 400g. same goes for tailor/chef.

Assuming you mean only for recipes learned from scrolls. In which case 100% agree! It’s just plain silly to have to log out and on around all my characters trying to figure out who has what recipes.

All recipes being account bound on the other hand would be very kitten people that want to craft for levels on alts… No more discoveries after the first time?

all “recipes”, yes. the item ones you double-click to use. I never really think of discoveries as recipes.

This.
discovery doesn’t count :P
