Guild Wars 2

Recently I started making the components to craft the Flameseeker Prophecies and I was going to make the gift of history. I needed my tailoring level to 400 to make the gift obviously. But while I was crafting I stumbled upon a bug that seem to stop me from crafting. I was trying to craft Cured Thin Leather Squares but it wouldn’t let me. I would click craft it would begin crafting and it would not give me the leather squares. Luckily it did not take the leather from my inventory but it would not craft the leather that I needed. This has also not been working for any other material or item that I try to make in tailoring. Other crafts work and I have tried to deactivate tailoring and reactivate it but nothing. Hopefully I can solve the problem soon. Thank you for your time.

You have to be skill level 75 to make these. You’re not quite there, yet.

Red text means you have not leveled up the Crafting Discipline high enough yet.

You can read about the different colors shown in the Crafting tab in the Wiki using the link above.

Good luck.

I would highly recommend using a guide to level crafting. It’ll keep you from wasting gold, and it’ll keep you from hitting roadblocks like this. As the others have already said, you’re simply not at the level of crafting for refining that leather.

Check out the guides on gw2crafts.net.

The different colors on the menu on the left have to do with how much exp you get for crafting and whether or not you can craft that item.

Gold: you can craft. You’ll get max exp.
Green: less exp than gold
White: can craft but you’ll get no more exp from crafting.
Red: that item is not yet within your crafting range.
