Guild Wars 2

It may have been reported before but there a quite some crafting inconsistencies:
1) The most obvious is the one for Tailor and Leatherworker where crafting Boots often requires only 1 Boot Sole instead of 2. I noticed that this is most often the case for recipes that use non-crafted Insignia (Sentinel, Magi, Shaman, etc.). This is a non-issue for Armorsmithing since it uses 1 Casing and 1 Lining always.
2) I was crafting Sentinel’s gear on my Huntsman, now I came to notice that the recipe also wanted me to add 5 Globs, eventhough technically the globs are already ‘included’ in the Inscription. This might be the case for more weapon recipes, while for armor recipes there never were additional Globs needed.
3) While levelling my all professions I came to notice that for the armor crafting professions there often is an inconsistency in item icon between a set. This most often concerns the color scheme of the icon.
Let me know if people know of more problems with crafting.

boot soles are the confusing part when it comes down to crafting – when i first tried crafting i made double the amount of boot soles until i realised that you can only make 2 boot soles in 1 crafting – so when u make leather boot , you make the 2 boots and the 2 soles needed in 2 craftings instead of having to make 2 of each each time.
regards to gear – you have to remember its made up of parts – insignia+the item and both in essence have to be made. So regardless of insignia , you will also need globs or xxxx for each part and then whats needed for the insignia.
I think its a case of the whole “crafting” thing needs better information and details on wiki as it can be quite confusing at times – ive seen players ask in local chat before how to make bronze or steel as they cant see any recipes , thats down to lack of actual info on wiki and ingame text.

1) Well I am pretty sure that it is a bug that some recipes only require 1 Boot/Shoe Sole, probably overlooked by the devs.
2) Well I was talking about the inconsistency between armor crafting and weapon crafting when using non-crafted Insignias/Inscriptions (Sentinel, Settler, Magi, Shaman, Soldier, etc.). For armor crafting no additional Globs are needed while for weapon crafting 5 additional Globs are needed.
3) Another one to mention is the Spool of Silk Weaving Thread (100 mats, 1 glob, 25 thread), why does it have to differ so much from the other 3 ectoplasm refinements (50 mats, 1 glob, 10 reagent), driving the Silk prices up needlessly?
