Guild Wars 2

I just made a “Zealot’s Orichalcum Imbued Inscription” using my artificer, but now I can’t use it to create my planned trident, as it doesn’t show up in the crafting interface.

Also, hovering the mouse over the inscription does not list any crafting disciplines at all.

You need the recipe to use that Inscription: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Keeper%27s_Zealot_Inscription

I can’t find anything but Keeper’s Razor that uses it.

Not sure why the several Disciplines that use is are not displayed. /shrug

That explains part of it. Always nice to know that I made something that is completely useless. But then the question, as you said, is why the disciplines are not listed.

So a few things to note here:
“Inscriptions” – are for weapons
“Insignias” – are for armor

To make a “Keeper’s” Ascended weapon you must have the Ascended Recipe. ALL Ascended Recipes are received for 5 Laurels and 3 Gold from EITHER the Laurel Merchant or the NPC smith of your crafting profession.

Upon gaining the Recipe the option to craft this item will show in the interface.

I can’t see if you’re Level 500 Crafting, but you’ll need to be.

The facts and information required for ALL Ascended Weapon crafting can be found here: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Ascended_weapon

So it’s not a bug – just lack of understanding

That’s actually not true. In the case of Keeper weapons, the recipes must be acquired as loot instead of being purchased from a vendor. They should be available cheaply on the trading post, so just search for “Recipe: Keeper’s Zealot Inscription”.

However, if you’re just looking to make an exotic grade weapon instead of an ascended one (which I believe you are judging from your screenshot), you will need to find the recipe for the trident in addition to the one you already used to learn how to make the inscription. You should be able to find it on the trading post as “Recipe: Zealot’s Pearl Trident” (http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Recipe:_Zealot%27s_Pearl_Trident). I don’t know that these things actually drop in loot anymore, so you’re better off just buying it (shouldn’t be that expensive anyways).

It’s unfortunately counter-intuitive the way they’ve set up the crafting for a lot of new stat combos since you can’t “discover” them and have to learn them all manually from acquired recipes, but that’s just what you’ll have to do.

Thanks everyone for sorting it out. As mentioned I wanted to create an exotic, not anything ascended.

What still doesn’t make any sense to me now is why there is no information whatsoever about the disciplines that can use the inscription.

Maybe they figure you know which Disciplines can craft weapons, as opposed to those that can craft armor….and then the other two ( Jeweler and Chef). /shrug

Good catch – I forgot those were loot based only since I had them unlocked lol.

The recipe that enables the crafting of the inscription should list the disciplines that can use it. I guess the implication then is that the inscription itself would be useable by the profession that crafted it.

Although you are correct in that it would make it more clear by adding it to the tooltip for the inscription itself. I’m guessing it was just a small oversight on the dev’s part.
