Guild Wars 2

I’m wondering if this is a bug, or simply an oversight? I can’t craft armor with Power/Toughness/Vitality, but I can purchase it from karma vendors in Orr, and from the WvW vendors for an exhorbant fee. I don’t think it’s fair we have to shell out packets of 42k karma or a heavily farmed number of badges of honor in order to obtain this unique combination of stats, as the game was founded more with cosmetics being grindy (like the actual skin of the WvW’s Invader armor) rather than the stats. Is there a recipe somewhere in the world I’m not finding, or is it simply intended for us to have to grind endlessly in order to obtain Strength/Vitality/Toughness armor? Thanks.

Is this a bug that makes you unable to craft then or is it just that you have not found out how to do it?

The recipes for the armors you talk about have to be discovered by combining different pre-crafted parts.

If the recipe exists, I’m confident I would have figured it out by now. However, if I simply haven’t discovered it, that may be the avenue of issue.

I’m a level 400 leathercrafter who has tried many things, and asked several other max-level armorcrafters. “Doesn’t exist” is what I keep getting. And FYI, you don’t make insignias (the thing that determines the armor’s stats) by combining other crafted components, it’s (at least for exotic): 5 level 400 crafting mats, 5 globs of ecto, 20 gossamer strings (or whatever it is), and.. something else I’m probably forgetting off the top of my head.
