Check the view selector in the bottom right hand corner of the pop-up at the crafting station. Is it set to "Hide unowned recipes"?

Even though I don't have any of the common IO recipes at the time, I still see all of them in the list so that I can buy them if I choose. Last night I took a character into the base to buy some common IO recipes not available in the market and craft them. The character already had the salvage in-hand. But when I got to the crafting table, I had none of the common IO recipes listed, and thus could not purchase them. The list only showed some set recipes I was carrying at the time. I went back to the market and bought a common IO recipe and returned. Now I only saw that one common IO recipe and not a list of all of them, and once I crafted that one recipe, it too no longer appeared on my list, so I could not buy more copies of it, even though I had the salvage in-hand. I switched to one of my 50s and that character can see and purchase all the common IO recipes. Is this a bug? Or is this because of some setting in my options for the character in question? Or is there some requirement the character needs to fulfill, like doing the invention system tutorial? The character who cannot see/purchase the recipes is a new "double exp weekend" baby and has not run the invention tutorial yet. The character is 22 currently. Thanks for any ideas or assistance. |
Make sure you don't have "hide unowned recipes" checked in the recipe window.
That happened to me once, and it went on for months before I figured it out. ^_^ (Had somehow selected not to view them).

Gah, I looked for something like that both in the pop-up menu and in the \options for graphics and key commands. I probably just overlooked it, especially if it's in the bottom right (for some reason I tend to assume that kind of thing will be in the top part of a window). I will look tonight, thanks everyone!

Also, if you have "Hide recipes missing ingredients" checked, it will hide many, if not all recipes based on what salvage you're carrying, and if you have no Inf or a full Enhancement tray, it will hide all recipes, no matter what salvage you're carrying.
These options are in the bottom right corner of your recipe window.

Also, if you want to filter out recipes by type, there should be tabs along the top that you can go through. If you want to see only the inventions recipes, there should be an "inventions" tab along the top.

Common recipes can be purchased at fixed prices from any Invention Worktable:

Note that paying the purchase price merely gives you the recipe. You still must pay the full crafting cost in order to create an enhancement from the recipe.
