Greetings @fito,

Thanks for reaching out to us. This was actually intended to lower the number of recipes in each workbench.

Please feel free to send us further feedback on the Feedback channel of the forum.

What? You have to be joking right?
@fito really spent his time doing this bug report.

Don’t you think ALL recipes should be in Garrison Blacksmith’s Bench and Campaign Blacksmith’s Bench as they are TOP tier benches - otherwise they are useless.

[fito]

I am happy with @Mayra answer, it explains what is going on here.

It follows that the Improved Blacksmith’s Bench (and Improved Armorer’s Bench) are wrong and should have fewer recipes. Whether it’s bad or good, it’s actually a topic for Feedback section.

In this thread, Esoteric Artifacts are the most important, because they are unique and should be crafted in all Blacksmith’s Benches. It’s hard to get them and it’s very nice to show them off.

[Mefistos]

I bet it’s bug, Mayra have not idea what is talking about. You don’t take out random recipes from BEST bench to ‘organise’ recipes. Not to mention there’s no patch notes for it.

[Testerle]

calm down and stay objective

@Mefistos

Not to mention there’s no patch notes for it.

why should it? this unequal distribution of recipes is not new and definitely not something that was done with one of the last patches.

for example: the Table Leg recipe has never been available in the Blacksmith’s Bench since the introduction of the higher benches with patch 2.1

[Mefistos]

ALL changes should be noted in patch notes otherwise it’s called UNITENDED change. You can’t just put ninja patches like that - it’s community deceiving and leads to confusion like this, conversations like this starts, people report bugs like this and it’s just waste of time.

NO, you calm down. I am 100% objective. How can you not see it? You can’t just take out some random recipes from best tier bench (not to mention it’s almost useless with all recipes anyway) - just to lower recipes in each benches. Now people will be forced to go to wiki to check which bench can craft specific weapon? Or maybe they should have all 4 blacksmith benches to craft any weapon? That’s so WRONG on so many levels. That disscussion should not even exist.

it’s far from an unintended change or ninja patch or what ever

not really

[Testerle]

I could repost your own statements about ninja patches and unintended changes but I bet it’s wasted time…

have a nice day

[Ragnaguard]

Nope, i find no reason to have an iron pick in my campaign blacksmith bench i am a level 60 an i use and wanna search on high end stuff rather than on every single pick( or sword, or pike) in my high end bench…
