Guild Wars 2

I am a level 434 Leatherworker. I have used my discovery tab to discover every possible recipe with the components I have. However, it still shows 50 possible recipes that can be discovered using ectoplasm. I have stacks and stacks of all other materials, including some mats required for ascended crafting. Granted, I still haven’t done any ascended crafting, but nowhere on the wiki or anywhere else does it show 50 ascended recipes requiring ectos. Can anybody please help me figure out what these 50 locked recipes are?

If you have all other materials and has discovered all you can but still are only at 434 leatherworker I would guess that you haven’t bought the inscriptions for karma from the merchant? There are rare and exotic inscriptions there that are used in high level recipes. And if you would reach 500 in leather crafting long before you have discovered all possible recipes.

(Btw, I would advice to try to go cheap to 500 in crafting – no need to discover every recipe. It’s expensive enough just getting to 500. From 450→475 you can Craft ascended materials fairly cheap. But up to 450 and from 475→500 your best option is probably to discover some exotic recipes.)

Good luck!

My bet would be the leveling armor sets crafted with ineffable insignias. which, beside the insignia, also require various amounts of ectos, depending on which insignia is used.

Thanks for your replies so far, but I have already bought every karma recipe and while the insignias do cost ectos to craft, none of the discovery involving those insignias does (that I’ve found yet). Also, the ineffable insignias are automatically included in the production tab, so no discovery is involved.

Discovery IS involved in making the armor pieces with the Ineffable insignias.

And there are more than just those.

Ok, that’s it then! All the ineffable stuff brings the discovery count to 48, now I just need to find the missing 2.

Superior Rune of Tormenting and Antitoxin.

Even though they are learned via consumption of the recipe sheet, they still count towards your undiscovered recipes within the discovery panel, unless you learned them.

My guess is, you didnt and those are the missing 2.

Nope, all runes unlocked.

Then my guess is you havent unlocked two of the exotic insignia recipe sheets that arent obtained via karma but other means.
Celestial and Zealot (only available from tp atm), sinister and nomad (from geode/crest vendor) and settler (from karka queen).

But as others mentioned, at lvl 434, you should discover a couple of exotic armor in order to reach lvl 450.

Those missing 50 recipes with ectos are either quite expensive (leveling gear) or are from locked recipes learned via sheets, so they wont give any discovery exp anyways.

Well, I’m lvl 500 now and it only shows 48 undiscovered ecto recipes (all for the ineffables). So somewhere in the process, 2 recipes got done. I’m guessing they were the ecto refinement that are locked until lvl 450.
