Guild Wars 2

Hello there! (^_^)v

I would like to report a bug for the “Recipe: Extended Potion of Ghost Slaying” that can be purchased for 400 Ascalonian Tears from the Ascalonian Catacombs dungeon vendor located in the south section of Lion’s Arch.

Video submission (1080p with commentary) which shows the bug in extreme detail:

Bug:
Upon purchasing the “Recipe: Extended Potion of Ghost Slaying” you receive a new item in your inventory called “Recipe: Extended Potion of Ghost Slaying.” However, after you use this recipe and go to an Artificing Station this recipe does not appear in your list. Instead you have just learned a completely different recipe called “Extended Potion of Undead Slaying.”

I went to the Ascalonian Catacombs to test these Undead Slaying potions versus Ghosts and they did not increase my damage versus Ghosts nor did they reduce my damage taken from Ghosts. Therefore, Undead Slaying potions do not work on Ghosts (or Gravelings) in the Ascalonian Catacombs. They are meant to be used on the Undead in Orr (and Arah).

The entire point of purchasing the “Recipe: Extended Potion of Ghost Slaying” for 400 Ascalonian Tears is to increase your effectiveness in the Ascalonian Catacombs. However, this recipe ends up creating Undead Slaying potions which have no effect on any monsters in the Ascalonian Catacombs. I have now wasted 800 Ascalonian Tears trying to create Ghost Slaying potions that don’t work on Ghosts (and for the creation of this video.)

Thank you for your time. (^_^)/

(Side note: If submitting bug reports via video submissions is an acceptable format for you guys then I will do so from now on.)

bumping your post, only i bought mine from BLTC and had the same result as you.

any official word on this Anet I also notice the that this undead version use a charged loadstone compare to the orginal which uses a pile of putrid essense.

Just adding my voice to this post. I worked darn hard on getting those tears! I’m exceptionally upset that I didnt get what I paid for! Is there any response on this from Anet?
I would also like to either get my potion or my tears back.

And yes, the irony of tears for the theft of tears does not escape me

bump, any news on this.

More importantly, does anyone know if the “Recipe: extended potion of undead slaying” will teach ‘Extended potion of ghost slaying’? (i.e. is the “Recipe: extended potion of ghost slaying” the only bugged item or has these two recipe results somehow been ‘swapped’).

I don’t want to waste 400 arah dungeon tokens to try this… I really want to be able to make the ghost slaying potion =(
