Guild Wars 2

Just like the title says. I haven’t really used recipes which require an unlock like that before, so I didn’t realize that the legendary gift recipes only unlocked the recipe for the character that double-clicks them. It doesn’t any thing about this in the recipe description:

• Double-click to learn how to make a gift of energy used to craft The Minstrel, Meteorlogicus, The Bifrost, and Kraitkin. Artificer (400)

• Double-click to learn how to make a gift of color used in crafting The Bifrost. Chef (400)

So now I’m going to have to either pay 6-8g to learn chef and artificer on my main (when I already have them maxed on an alt) or spend 20g to unlock them on the correct character. This is silly and makes me not want to play any more. Why is the system set up this way? Why don’t recipes unlock for all characters when used?

The recipe may be soulbound, but the gift is not. You can still make it on your alt and send it to your main.

I think they are saying they unlocked it already on the wrong toon.

Yea, that.

But it also made me realize that I unlocked all the celestial recipe stuff on my main, even though he’s not a tailor, jeweler, etc. That’s the real problem, more than this specific one – needlessly soulbound items. I can’t think of one legitimate reason why it should work this way. Anyone want to take a stab?

Once you unlock a recipe, i agree, it should be unlocked on your account. There are plenty of money sinks in the game…

any updates for this issue?
I hope the unlocked recipes of legendary gift and other can become account bound.
