Rare Crafting Materials with no Recipes

#1 - Sept. 12, 2012, 3:17 p.m.

So I personally love the crafting in game. I do leatherworking and huntsman, and discovery brings me endless hours of joy. Especially when I figured out how to make the different skinned items. However there is one thing that is driving me completely crazy.

What do I do with a Heart of Fire or a Heart of Darkness???

I found the recipes for the Godskull Weapons and they require a rare crafting that has a similar info box. I was assuming that they were used in recipes but I cannot use them in discovery mode and I have not found any recipes that involve them.

Upon searching the different sites I have discovered there are quite a few items just like this. If you know either where the recipes are or how to use them I would love to know.

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.
