Guild Wars 2

In discovery window, I imagine RED means I don’t have the LEVEL to make item.

GRAY means the grayed item will not combine with the ingredient I have added?

At my current level25 jeweler and leather-guy, is there ingredients I should be buying from someone to get some stuff made and level up? What ingredients?

For getting collectibles back to the Bank, I know about “Deposit all collectibles.”

And if I can create/discover with collectibles (raw materials) without having to take them out of the Bank, great.

But that only solves 2 of 4 problems.

What about getting Components back to the Bank, like earrings yet to be completed?

And pulling Components out of the Bank to craft with them?

I have to pull and replace EACH OF THESE COMPONENTS EACH TIME I go to use them?

I’m level15 in Jewels and Leather right now, with all these components that won’t go together to make anything new. I refuse to just “look up” recipes and then go grab the stuff … the game should just naturally allow me to progress and discover new recipes as I play. So I keep going back to the Crafting Table with new stuff, and keep finding no new Discoveries, and keep pulling out my Components, failing, then putting them back in the Bank. BORING.

When I go to a Crafting Station and open the window, I have four tabs: Discovery, Known Recipes, Bank and Collections.

When I want to use Discovery and Known Recipes, do I have to first pull all the ingredients out of my Bank/Collections and put them in backpack/bags?

Or can I use those first two tabs while leaving my “stuff” in the Bank/Collections?

It seems like an incredible waste of my time to have to sit there pulling each item out of the Bank/Collections, one by one, and placing it into my Bag. Then when I finish crafting, to take each item, one by one, and put them back into the Bank/Collections.

Extremely tedious.
