Discovery

Is discovery not available to all for GW2? I have no options on the discovery page.

You need to have crafting items on your bags that can be used for discovery in order for it to work, since we can't craft/discover with items from our collections tab.

Discovery is awarded for discovering recipes in GW2. There is no Coordinate system in GW2 (On Purpose) so we can't do what we could in DAOC, WAR, and RIFT on that front.

Right. I figured that but I don't see an option to enter recipes. Is it limited to a specific artisan level?

LOL. 2 different discoveries. With Gaiscioch, you can earn ranks in 5 areas(which is one of the coolest things I have ever seen in a Guild site. Fog has really out done himself many times over in the way he created and keeps recreating this site), one of those areas is Exploration which you earn points by entering discoveries. The types of discoveries you can enter vary by the game. For GW2, the discoveries are crafting recipes. However, I do not see an option to add anything(which doesn't really matter because the item I was going to enter I already see on the page) but I was curious to know why I wasn't seeing an input option.

In order to add recipes, you must be a certain artisan rank. I'm not sure what rank that is, but it was done this way to help with the accuracy of recipes. Keep in mind all the recipes you see on the site are there because someone (usually at least two someones) have created the recipe and verified it is accurate.

Artisaon rank 3, but here's the crux of the matter. A lot of new members that love to craft want to enter recipes, but they haven't had the chance to gain the artisan level required. The other problem is, until someone else gets some of the recipes in for people to order, these people can't fill orders that gain artisan points. So where we stand is that some of the older members crafting need to step up and put some of the recipes in and let orders sit a tad bit just to give the new members chomping at the bit a chance to grab the orders and get artisan points. If you have any crafting materials or can craft things be sure to check out the marketplace first. Also, be sure that GW2 is highlighted for the channel at the top of the page before clicking on the marketplace icon. This will insure you are accessing the right marketplace since we also have one up for Rift.

I am Artisan level 3, but I can not enter recipes for GW2 on the site. Actually, I can not enter anything for GW2. There are no drop down menus. Not really sure what I am doing wrong. Could someone make a short guide for inputting recipes/discoveries for GW2? I personally would really appreciate it! =D

Due to the very large red "IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING DON'T TOUCH THIS" on the recipe page, and the Rift based example, I have not been adding any recipes. Can we get a short tutorial on this? The button just kind of shows up at one of the ranks, and then the warning shoos you away.
