Guild Wars 2

50 mystic coins, 1g 25s in wine, 12sp in crystals and a piece of the most expensive crafted armor in game is what it took in mystic forge to get the recipe for this satchel.
That alone is a large, expensive, grindy effort.

I would have expected the recipe to be, well, a reward for putting all that in, it wasn’t.
To my astonishment the recipe is either bugged or useless as it seems to require almost
double the insignias required to craft each piece individually.

In other words, getting this recipe plus crafting armor from this recipe is FAR more expensive than simply crafting each piece individually, maybe several times over.

Is this intended? if so, what is the purpose of armor satchels?
I’m somewhat at a loss here.

The recipe in question btw is “Satchel of Berserker’s Exalted Armor (Exotic)”
