Guild Wars 2

I’ve been reading around to find information on banner scribing, since my guild would like to be able to use banners regularly again, but information is sparse.

Once a banner schematic is created by a scribe, is it consumed to create the banner? Will I have to scribe a schematic for every banner I want to create?

If it is consumed, then experience banners cost more than 10g, and I imagine our guild will never use banners again.

If it isn’t consumed, why gate banner production behind another unlock once we’ve unlocked the recipe at the Tavern?

Use you guild commendations to get the banners, don’t bother scribing them at the moment the cost is way too much.

Yes, but is the schematic consumed? Has anyone created one that can confirm this?
