sigils and runes is quite a good news and much appreciated. But HoT recipes does not help the WvW players much. For example, in order to craft Pahua ascended armors you need a trailblazer ascended insigna. To make that you need fulgurite which requires 3 types of mats that drop only in 3 of the HoT maps. Bottle of Airship Oil, Pile of Auric Dust and Ley Line Spark (and ALOT of them). While you farm for those you get enough separate mats (example: Ley line crystals for pahua stats one) that will allow you to buy the recipe. In the end WvW players will still need to farm the hell out of those maps to craft.

Do a mystic forge stat swap for a fraction of the effort. I have changed Ahamid kit into Ruka kit (Wanderer’s) this way, it means sticking old gear, Anthology of Heroes, some ectos and a Wanderer’s insignia (exo) into the MF.

If you would have had to create an insignia anyhow on the journey to Ascended kit of the relevant HoT variety, I’d skip the fulgurite related steps and just chuck it into the MF along with an anthology, ecto, and a cheaper 3 stat piece of gear that you got from a chest or crafted previously.

WOW i didn’t even know you could do that. TY so very much, you just saved me alot of work.

this would need to prioritized

i have the same problem as everyone except mine is even worst:

i made the mysterious vine. I got the cultivated seed that was swapped for pet seed. It was known that we would work with that seed for future pieces/upgrade of it. When i got to read the release notes, it all confirmed that it would be that way. So i go get that pet seed thinking it was the cultivated seed (anyway i never even noticed the name, just the icon of what it is). I click on that seed and it points me to the fractal of the mist door. I go there and look at the vendor. The only thing that was new on the vendor was the mist stone (i believe that is the name) the description says that combined with other items including that seed would make a new item. I am right to believe that this is the next step and go on with it. The problem with those craftable new items is that we have to figure it out by ourselves how to go about doing them, they never come with instruction exept the hint you get from the items themselves, so that is what i did. Now i am stuck with a pet seedling that when clicked on point to gorlais spine POI, and nothing work there to go further.

You see why i say worst? Cause if a fix comes out to revert pet seed back to a cultivated seed it wont fix anything for me. The only fix that would work for people like me is reissuing a cultivated seed to people who have already a mysterious vine. I am wasting 5 prestine fractal relics in the process too.

from the way we have to figure out how to craft those new items i was mislead into doing the wrong thing and i am afraid that my problem would not be fixed with the present state of knowledge of the issue.

i would appreciate an answer from anet representative if my problem is already known and if it will be fixed with the patch.

thanks
