Guild Wars 2

I just tried to make an Auric Scepter with a [Dire Orichalcum Imbued Inscription] and Discovery would not take it. Seems odd doesn’kitten

Is this an oversight or is there some reason? Seems like a good match, what with Condi damage and all.

Looks like it only works with craftable inscriptions.

What Khisanth said. Auric weapons will only work with inscriptions you can obtain from the grandmaster as recipes, excluding the 4-stat inscriptions (incl. Marauder).

Crusader and Marauder also work.

I guess it is “if you can buy the recipe for the inscription from the crafting NPC then it will work”.

The same is true for other craftables, including destroyer weapons.

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Dire_Orichalcum_Imbued_Inscription#Used_in looks like you can only craft pearl weapons with it.

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Marauder_Orichalcum_Imbued_Inscription#Used_in yes, you can make Marauder Auric weapons.

Here you go: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Auric_weapons#Overview

Crafted Auric weapons have the prefix given by the inscription they were crafted with. Some inscriptions cannot be used to craft Auric weapons (such as Giver’s). Inscriptions that can be used are Apothecary, Assassin, Berserker, Carrion, Cleric, Crusader, Knight, Marauder, Rampager and Valkyrie

It seems you can’t craft Auric weapons with Dire stats. On the bright side, you can use a transmutation charge to get the Auric skin, as long as you’ve crafted that weapon to unlock it.

Edit: All Auric weapons require an Exalted [weapon] Core that you craft, but you need to purchase the recipe from https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Exalted_Mastery_Vendor#vendor9
