We did also reduce the amount of butter and chocolate you get from bags. I was a bit nervous about taking them off vendors since they are such a staple, but I’ll be the first to admit that I went a smidge overboard. It’s felt a lot better since the change went Live, at least from my own experience (and I do play the game a lot and do lots of crafting!) How do you all feel about how much butter you get now?
Items only show up in the Discovery pane if you have more recipes to DISCOVER with it. It’s likely that you have finished discovering all the available recipes for Walnuts and can only use them in recipes that are already unlocked
All Embroidered Insignias unlock at the same time. There is no “second set”. The first set of Cotton Insignias make lvl 40 gear. I’m looking at the recipes right now in code and everything looks correct on my end.
We went through all of the items sold for Karma and made them No Salvage to address some issues with players converting karma into coin. That’s probably what you are seeing.
I dug a little deeper and it seems that the loot system for WvW is a little more nuanced than I initially thought, and doesn’t always scale the loot to YOUR level. Which explains how you were getting lower level mats.
Hmmmm… good point. I’ll think on it a bit
Thanks for pointing this out!
While some gear does scale up, I’d say the majority does not. My experience as a 80 in the level 1-15 zones is at least a good 75% of the items are for the level of the zone and not my current level.
WvW DOES scale all loot to your level, but PvE does not. I don’t know the exact percentage but it’s not a big number, I am sure. We wanted you to be able to go back to low level PvE maps to farm for low level mats.

Exactly, it was sub-lvl75 rares that were the issue. Not the 75-80 ones.
The focus is also bugged, everything else looks good. I’m working on getting a fix in for these three recipes in an upcoming Live build. Thanks for the report guys and just hang tight, your money was not wasted on those materials!
Also, as a quick note, please do try to be patient with us when you report issues like this. We have a lot going on and are doing our best to be as responsive as possible. We absolutely care about these issues even if it takes a little while to get a response from us! <3
Looks like there is a bug in both the shield and trident recipes, I’m looking into it. I’ll do a pass on all the Mystic weapon recipes and see if I can catch any other bugs while I am at it.

I believe the issue was with rares of a lower level. So, the answers to 1. and 2. are yes.
You can also transmute upgrades onto new armor.
Tooltips only report disciplines that the item can be used to DISCOVER recipes for, it does not report recipes that are unlocked through an item. So for instance, the Godskull recipes are all unlocked through a purchased item, so the skulls don’t report anything to the tooltip because they are only used for those recipes. Basically, just because a crafting material doesn’t list any disciplines in the tooltip, doesn’t mean it’s not used for anything. We did this for a few reasons, many because it allows us to have hidden unlockable recipes and because it actually reduced confusion a lot. We were finding that if we reported all recipes to the tooltip, even the ones that players couldn’t discover, it meant that players were spending a lot of time frustrated that they couldn’t figure out the ingredients for that last recipe or didn’t understand why it wasn’t showing up in the discovery pane.
Assumptions are simply that. I recommend doing some more research so you can base your time estimates on facts. That said, Legendaries are meant to be a long term investment and we made them super cool so as to be worth that long term investment. Anyone I see with a Legendary will certainly have my respect and yes, I do plan on one day crafting one myself.
All Ingredient and Seasoning recipes are Auto-Unlocked (that includes all frosting)
Are you sure that you don’t have any filter options checked that could prevent this recipe from showing and you are looking under Jeweler/Amulets? I took a look at the code and everything looks correct on my end.
Agreed. They should be Account Bound. I’m looking at getting a fix for this into an upcoming build.
Only Common Crafting Materials and Fine Crafting Materials have storage slots. Rare Crafting Materials do not.
The Whisperers skins are intended to be only acquired if you join the Order of Whispers, but unfortunately a handful of the skins were set up in core loot drops. In the other night’s patch, we fixed this bug and converted the existing weapons into the intended skin. If you acquired the weapon through the intended means (joining the Order and purchasing the exclusive skin), those weapons were not affected by the fix. Only the ones that were erroneously dropped as core loot were affected. Apologies for the mistake! If you loved the skin, I highly recommend selecting the Order of Whispers through your personal story and you’ll be able to acquire it again.
In that case please fix the icon use for Whisperers weapons that was drop as loot, because they are still showing Whisperer’s icon instead of normal icon. Because this change was never communicated properly to us players I wasted my coins buying Whispered weapons through the trading post only to receive a normal weapons.
We are working on updating the TP right now.

Are you trying to refine in the discovery tab or within the production tab? You can only craft known recipes through the production tab, not discovery, and refinements are auto-unlocked.
In earlier Betas, they did give Karma, but it has been a long time since we took that out.
Orichalcum and Ancient wood nodes are intentionally very rare. They have a longer respawn timer than regular nodes (hours not days). Also, remember, nodes are not always static. Most should change positions and Orichalcum and Ancient wood spawns have a large number of locations they could respawn at within the map.
