Recipe
A recipe is the list of materials required to craft an item, either at a crafting station or at the Mystic Forge. For regular crafting disciplines, recipes are unlocked and stored account-wide, and can be viewed in the Production tab of the relevant crafting station. Recipes for the Mystic Forge are unlocked automatically and not viewable in-game, and are instead left for the players to discover and follow manually.
Crafting disciplines[edit]
For crafting disciplines, recipes must be unlocked, or "learned", before they can be used. Recipe unlocks are account-wide: learning a recipe from a consumable on one character will unlock it for all other characters on the account.[1] Recipes can require between one and four distinct ingredients, and quantities from 1 to 250 of each ingredient.
There are three ways to learn a recipe:
- Automatically
- Most basic component and refinement recipes are learned automatically by increasing the rank in a crafting discipline.
- Discovery
- Most other recipes are learned by combining ingredients in the Discovery tab at a crafting station. After crafting an item this way once, its recipe is added to the list in the Production tab.
- Recipe sheet
- Some special recipes can only be unlocked by consuming a recipe sheet. A recipe will be unlocked even if the character doesn't have the required crafting level to use it.
Mystic Forge[edit]
The Mystic Forge recipes do not have to be learned, nor displayed in the crafting user interface, and always require four ingredients. The Mystic Forge functions similarly to a standard crafting station's "Discovery" tab, and requires manually combining four ingredients every time. Items stored in the Bank are also available for selection alongside regular crafting materials.
