Entering Marketplace recipes -- Updated 10 Sept

Fog just finished up some tweaks to the marketplace that should improve how it works with Guild Wars 2 recipes.  It's OK to start entering new recipes again, so have at it!

Important:  Please read as this has changed!

1. Use the name of the item produced NOT the recipe name.
2. Do NOT add "(Master)", "(Rare)", etc.  The system is able to distinguish items with the same name now.
3. The Cooking types "Dessert" and "Meal" have been added to the Types list.
4. The type "Accessory" has been added to Types, and should be used for Rings, Earrings and Necklaces.

News about 18 and 20 slot bags

When you order an 18 or 20 slot bag now, you must provide the Rune to the crafter (it's too expensive for crafters to donate).  If you ordered one earlier, your order has been cleared and you'll need to submit it again.  More discussion about this change here.

Coming Soon: How To Enter Marketplace Recipes Guide

During our meeting yesterday we decided a detailed how-to guide would be helpful for those entering recipes.  It's in the works and we hope to share it with you soon.

Again, thanks for your patience with this.  And huge thanks Fog for making it happen.

Oh good, I'll try to be there for that (4pm my time should work). I definitely want to tell people the RIGHT thing.

Darn I missed it, wonder if we could schedule another RaidCall chat about how to enter recipes sometime? I'll bring the cookies :) I'm away this weekend from Thursday morning until Saturday night so I will miss the next gathering zerg :(

Entering of new recipes on the Marketplace is still on hold. There are a few more bugs to shake out but Fog is slammed with RL work. And, ya know, RL first! Ordering and filling works for the recipes already in the database, so please continue to use the marketplace for that. @Raighan I'll definitely schedule another how-to session after the recipe entry changes are complete -- probably a couple weeks from now. Wildflower and I are also planning to author two new guides: one for using the Marketplace, plus a detailed guide to entering recipes into the Marketplace. Stay tuned!

So I am guessing to hold off on entries in the mean time.

All Clear!! Entering recipes works again, and the "scrub" of the existing recipes is now complete (phew!). Thanks Wildflower and Gil for all the help. The change to wood planks (3 logs per plank now, up from 2 per) has been entered into the database, and costs for items that use wood have been adjusted.

Awesome!

Another heads up on Armorsmithing recipes. During the update I found 20 that were entered without stats, and moved these back to un-approved status. (Would YOU buy armor without knowing the stats?) If you are the person who entered these recipes send me a mail here or a PM in RaidCall (I'm in the AFK channel... real life work) and we'll figure out how you can fix these up. thanks!
