Guild Wars 2

Hi

I accidentally used longbow ascended recipe on my weaponsmith, is that a bug? it shouldn’t let me use that recipe if I’m not huntsman. When I switched to my huntsman I found a rifle recipe discovered there instead. But I used longbow recipe anyways.

Please explain?

Any character can learn any recipe because any character has the ability to take up that crafting discipline. The recipes are clearly marked in RED when a recipe does not match a current crafting discipline.

As to the rifle recipe, I have no idea.

You clearly didn’t read. I’m not talking about normal Recipes. Ascended Recipes got a drop down list(Normal Recipes don’t). I was on my weaponsmith and I selected longbow, then I figured out that I’m on wrong character. but somehow rifle was discovered when I switched to my huntsman.

It allowed me to use the recipe even though my character was weaponsmith. So it’s mostly likely to be a bug.

That’s your answer to that part, maybe you misread it? Since any character can change disciplines at will (for a small fee ofc), they are allowed to learn recipes from any discipline. Ascended recipes are not an exception to this rule. The only warning you get is the red text Inculpatus described (after you get the specific recipe), but this is intended feature specifically for people who like to keep more than two crafting disciplines on a single character, not a bug.

The rifle/longbow mix-up is the only bug here, and an interesting one at that. I’d send in a support ticket with the time/date (if you remember) when it occurred as it would probably help them in fixing the bug on your end before they roll out a global fix.

My characters got 2 jobs each. can you tell me how would it accept a recipe from different job if its not a bug? character A = Weaponsmith + Armorsmith, Character B Huntsman + Leatherworker. I used longbow recipe on my weaponsmith and i found later rifle discovered on my huntsman.

The fact you were able to use the recipe on your weaponsmith is not a bug. Again, the bug is where you claim to have used it on your weaponsmith and then your other character (huntsman) learned an entirely different recipe. Again, ask support to help with this.

The fact the system does not block you from learning recipes outside of your current two professions is not a bug since any character can learn all disciplines if they want. The fact you may have two disciplines active that are not related to the recipe you are using does not matter a single bit.

Short version: The ability to use the recipe on any char regardless of active disciplines = not a bug. What the recipe did after you used it = bug.
