Guild Wars 2

It seems fairly ridiculous that I would have to level a crafting profession to 400 on that specific character just to be able to create the elite spec runes, especially when I’ve already maxed the profession out (just on a different character). Or am I missing a vendor that sells the recipe once you’ve unlocked it?

I’ve checked the tailoring vendor in Lion’s Arch (nothing), tried seeing if the recipe was unlocked on my 500 Tailor character (nothing), and tried discovering it (couldn’t). Would it be possible to make this an account bound unlock?

You can buy them at the Laurel Merchant from what I understand.

With my Chronomancer, I got the recipe instantly when I maxed out my elite spec. I was already 500 Tailoring, so it just gave it to me. The runes aren’t bound or anything, anyone can make them for you. So your alt can go buy the recipe and make them. Or you can just buy them from the trading post as well.

That’s what I was missing ^.

I did understand that it unlocked automatically, but the character I unlocked it on does not have 400 in that crafting profession, while I have 500 tailor on a different character. One of the first things I tried was looking at the profession trainers/merchants for a recipe to buy. Never though to look at the laurel merchant.

Perhaps there would be some benefit to adding a pop-up text thing directing people to that when they get the achievement.
