Guild Wars 2

Hello community & devs,

I’d like to know whether this is a known bug, and if so, how to fix it. Please take a look at the screenshot.

As you can see, I did already purchase said recipe and have crafted it, too, even used the crafted item for several of the subsequent collectibles. But for some reason the field in the collection indicates that I yet have to purchase and craft the item.

What went wrong?

(I’ve already contacted support, but I thought, if there was a known fix that doesn’t require support, it wouldn’t hurt to ask. )

Right click the bottle and select “Add to Collection”

It has something to do with the bottle not binding on creation.

Always check the wiki.

have you tried right-clicking the bottle and clicking ‘add to collection’?

Heh heh, usually I am the one lecturing people about using GW2 Wiki. It was very late, so no, I didn’t think of checking this since I didn’t know such an option even existed in the context menu!

Thank you so much, fellow adventurers!

I find it mind-boggling that you can use it in the first place without it being added to the collection. In addition, it can even be sold on the TP, which makes even less sense to me since you need to buy the item containing the crafting recipe from Hobbs one way or the other — so why would one craft it again to sell it when every legendary collector needs to get the recipe anyway? (There are over 4000 for sale…)

Apparently, you are not alone in missing the “add to collection step”

Sorry you had the extra trouble.
