Guild Wars 2

I posted this in crafting, but I figured this page would be getting more traffic.

I see that I can craft a “Watchwork Mechanism” with 400 in most crafting jobs. I can deposit it in collectibles and it’s not account bound, but I can’t sell on TP. Also, I don’t see any recipes right off, so I assume they are drops or something? Post any info, please!

I even crafted one with Weaponsmithing. It takes 500 Watchwork Sprockets and it makes 1 Watchwork Mechanism (Rare). It has a spot in the collectibles tab and when you right-click it you get the option to buy/sell on TP, but it doesn’t show up on my list of items I can sell. I wasn’t able to search for it on TP either.
It doesn’t appear as a component on the discovery tab either.
Time to invest in Watchwork Sprockets?

Addition to comments from Crafting thread:

Not sure what they do yet. Haven’t seen any recipes or any clues about how it might work. Possibly part of the Power/Precision/Healing sets that were announced?
I assume it will be used in multiple crafts, however, since it is craftable in several different crafting professions at lvl 400.
I have Weaponsmithing at 500 and I couldn’t see any use for it in the main page or an option to use it on the discovery tab.

chronometria.3708:

I think we are looking at the new candy corn cob – its a way of getting the sprockets off of the market in large amounts. Considering what happened to candy corn prices, I suspect its a good idea to invest in these in large amounts.

Interesting idea, but I don’t remember those being craftable by players. Didn’t you have to trade them to an NPC?

I’m guessing all these keys have to do with Scarlet’s Lair.

UPDATE: the Watchwork Mechanism is now tradeable on the TP.
