Guild Wars 2

Ok sorry if this is an idiot question but I cant find an answer or guidance anywhere so far;

Effectively hardly any of my materials are showing in the discovery section. I’m a tailor and the streched leather squares, jute spools, blood vials etc- all the stuff that should show in there doesnt. Ive tried with it in my bags and in the bank (as per recent update) and they never show. I have about 20 materials that are all for tailoring and within my tailor level but only 8 show in discovery.

The leather squares bug me the most as they are a basic refinement item…

Do you have to learn from somewhere i.e. a trainer? or is there guidance on this anywhere?

Sadely I know I should be able to do something with them as I went and had a look at the recipie pages springing up everywhere….

Thank you for any help

I sure hope someone puts an answer to this question, because it’s confusing the heck out of me too. I even tried to make simple armors thinking that they get combined that way too….but I’ve never played this type of game before and I’m trying to not look things up online. (Aside from these helpfully amazing forums that is).

If you do not see the material in it, then it can’t be used at this crafting station currently. You may not have the skill for the recipes that would be possible. Either that, or you know them all already.

That’s my guess at least. Seemed that way when I was using it last.

use the totems and stuff to make inscriptions (or whatever they are called for tailors), the things that say they add +power etc to a crafting recipe.

you combine those with the mats for say a boot (upper and lower soles) to make better boots (+power ones if you use a +power inscription).

Weaponsmith Example: use a dowel and (unsure what it is) for a Malign Inscription. Make the subcomponents of weapon (eg Mace Head and Small Haft). Put the Malign Inscription, Mace Head, and Small Haft into the discovery panel – and you should be able to craft a +Condition Damage mace.

Note you have to put the final ingredients in – I couldn’t for example put green wood, weak blood, and copper ingots in and get the same recipe.

According to my experience, only those materials will show on the discovery panel which can be used to discover new recipes at your skill level. Mats for recipes already learnt won’t be included.
