Guild Wars 2

Hi all

I have been trying to acquire “The Legend” precursor for crafting Bifrost. I have completed the first collection tier and gotten “Chest of Ancient Mysticism” including “Box of Recipes: The Legend”. However, on this this box is was said that it was available for artificer, huntsman and weaponsmith level 450. Being on my character with huntsman craft I unlocked the recipe but because of that only got access to the “Legendary Inscription” and not the rest.

While I can see that it was stupid from me to do that since a staff is done on a artificer, the description was highly misleading and now I am completely stuck without any way to solve my problem (I don’t intend to learn artificer on this character from scratch!).

What should I do?

Same here…it sucks…

Precursor crafting implies you will use crafting. Make an alt and start working on that profession.

I do have an artificer. The problem is that I unlocked the recipe on the wrong toon

You can buy the chest from the legendary crafter NPC.

Neither of you read what the OP stated

The box before it was broken apart to the individual pieces stated it could be crafted by three separate professions. This isn’t unusual as many recipes exist that can be crafted by more than one professions the ascended mats for instance. However upon receiving and opening the item the reqs written on the box weren’t universal as lets say bolt of damask but for three separate things tied to three separate crafting professions.

So I agree with the OP that is indeed messed up
Chest of Ancient Mysticism
Box of Recipeis: Legend

As the OP has described them neither of these should probably be present in those forms but broken up into individual items so people can see exactly what crafting profession is needed to for each item. Either that or an additional footnote that shows the content and remove the crafting deal from the boxes themselves. I’ve yet to purchase either item and just going from the OP description it’s still early in HoT and this seems like a minor oversight.

Yes, this is misleading. While I did end up being able to buy the recipe once more from the merchant for about 10k karma (which is much less than what you intend to spend in your legendary anyway), I found this annoying and confusing.

Contact support. I just had an issue where I accidentally used two recipes on the wrong character, and they sent me new recipes in the mail.

I actually think in general, all recipes should be account bound when unlocked…
