Guild Wars 2

I have no idea whether this is the proper place to put this, due to the fact that I’m not sure whether it’s a bug or intended.

I got a giant eye the other day so I put it into the forge to see what i could make with it. I happened to come across a recipe that required 250 Ancient Wood planks, 1 Giant Eye, 50 Mystic Coins and the Scroll. 250 ancient wood logs is a helluva lot of materials so I thought it must have been good. I looked around and no one seemed to know what it makes. So I thought it might be something completely unique that no one has seen before. I mean you require 750 ancient wood logs ! So I went about trying to obtain the stuff and finally did. I went and put it in the forge and what came out was absolutely shocking. A Mystic Staff…

The same thing that could have been made with a mere 40 wood planks, the coins and a scroll. Now I’m just looking for some Anet confirmation on whether that’s the intent. I mean it’s pretty upsetting to spend that amount of time to gather and purchase the logs to create this. So whether or not I’m out of luck or it’s a bug please let me know. If it isn’t a bug then let this serve as a warning to people to not bother with the recipe. Goodness I’m terribly disappointed with this.

This thing must look completely amazing.

a duplicate recipe in the forge that gives you the same item as the normal mystic creation recipe is a bug. Hold on to the staff, make a ticket to keep track of the date you did this, and once these things get sorted out, you might be lucky and have your item turned into what it was meant to be all along.

Maybe it’s possible that the item that you were intending on making only had a chance of being created, and if it wasn’t made you were at least minimally compensated with a mystic item?

So apparently I’m not allowed to “Bump” this subject a moderator will instead of reading my post just trim it off.. How exactly am I to get an answer to this question. I’ve wrote a detailed bug report, I’ve submitted an unanswered ticket and I’ve created a forum post. I’m not sure what else to do with this. People have given me some great information on a possible compensation and exchange if this is indeed a bug, but there has been no notice of what to do from here. Any response from someone from A net would be greatly appreciated.

Same thing happened to me, ticket response was “check the wiki” thus the google search and finding this. It HAS to be a bug, like those level 62 items…

I have yet to receive a response for my ticket. Hopefully they’re looking into it further since there are multiple reports for it. There is no way it isn’t a bug.
