The plight of a Jeweler

Sorry, I should have been a bit more clear on where I am stuck in the quest line.

To make an Attuned Grow Lamp you must have Bloodstone Bricks ( http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Bloodstone_Brick ). These Bricks are made by the majority of crafting professions, except Jewelers, and are account bound. Thus I am stuck because I do not have one of the other crafting skills.

Trust me, if it were a crafted item that could be purchased and that I could not make, I would buy it and just somehow absorb the cost and move on; at least it would give me a path forward. However, it has me completely stuck due to the items required to produce it being account bound.

This has been a very difficult quest line for me to follow through with, being a Chef and Jeweler for crafting skills since release, and trying to not view the Wiki if possible for help. Imagine my surprise when I finally began to seek out instructions on how to craft my Attuned Grow Lamp for my Cultivated Shoot? It was disheartening and very heartbreaking to discover, yet again, I had chosen the wrong crafting skills in this game; I was now stuck in this very long and very expensive quest line due to not having one of the “major” crafting skills.

Being left out in higher end equipment, however, has been regular for Jewelers since release. Every single Ascended recipe has been for every single other crafting skill except Jeweler (well, and Chef).

Honestly, to have players work through this “Mawdrey” quest line and get so far into it, after painstakingly working through the materials and expenses and time, only to find out 3/4 way through it that they NEED a specific crafting skill…its just wrong. This has totally taken the rug out from under me.

I cannot afford to level up another crafting skill. I cannot devote the countless hours to put into leveling up another character just to level a “proper” crafting skill that has ascended recipes.

Anyways, perhaps this is crafting and questing feedback more so than a question to the crafting forum. I just felt so discouraged after discovering my fate in this quest line that I had to post it to the forums.
