Guild Wars 2

I finished part one of The Hunter collection, got my Chest of Technology and got the recipe to craft the experimental rifle parts. The recipe itself is labeled in such a manner that says it can be used by weaponsmiths, huntsmen, or artificers at 400. I opened it on my main, who is a weaponsmith and armorsmith at 500, and the recipe is locked to huntsman. I now have to craft to huntsman 400 just to be able to craft my components, even though I have huntsman 500 on another character. This is not cool. Why would a recipe that is locked to huntsman say that it can be used by weaponsmiths and artificers? It’s misleading. Is there a way I can get the recipe again so I can use it on my other character that has 500 huntsman? Can we give Hobbs an option to let us purchase the recipes we’ve unlocked for some coin/karma/spirit shards?

I know I know: rifle components are obviously made by huntsman and I should have known better, but the recipe mislead me into thinking it can be used by weaponsmiths or artificers because of the way it is labeled. If you need me to send in a support ticket for this matter, please let me know, ANET. I created more work for myself on accident. Please let me know before I fork over the 50g it will take me to get to huntsman 400 quickly.

I made the same mistake by opening the box on my main for Bifrost 1 because I thought I’d get the recipes as consumables not auto-consumed (my main is not an Artificer).

THANKFULLY; you can rebuy the recipe box from the Grandmaster Craftsman Hobbs for 10K karma under the ‘First Collection Chests’ tab (fifth one down in his vendor window). The chests are all accountbound so you can either buy it on the right guy or pop it in the bank for the right one to pick up.

I can confirm this having also made a similar mistake with the Colossus recipe…

THANKFULLY; you can rebuy the recipe box from the Grandmaster Craftsman Gibbs for 10K karma under the ‘First Collection Chests’ tab (fifth one down in his vendor window). The chests are all accountbound so you can either buy it on the right guy or pop it in the bank for the right one to pick up.

I didn’t realize this was an option. Thank you very much for the info!

Thanks for your input. Hopefully others find this useful, too.
