Alchemy Recipe Level 80 Bug After today's patch.

In Alchemy there are now two Oil of Vitriol Recipes. 1 in level 71 - 80 recipes using a new gathering item and 1 in Masterwork 1 using the old item.
I am unsure if this was intent or not but it does seem a bit strange and weird to have two recipes of the same but using two different items to craft it.

There was a similar issue with some MW ingredients last year and they fixed it. Im more concerned over the fact that the +1 version of our alchemy products (potions) aren't giving ANY stats or buff.

I guess their way of thinking is can't make an omelette without breaking eggs but ya they should have ironed out these small issues.
Then again I dont see them being fixed till a few weeks or a month from now.

Well, we are the beta testers for console.

It is difficult to tell what the devs are planning for professions judging by the recent release. I would not call duplicate recipes a bug, but rather a partially implemented transition to yet another 'new way' of crafting things. As you can see, all the MW tools that took hours and AD to create have been replaced by new recipes allowing you to craft the equivalent of a Legendary tool (sans Bonus power [Virtuoso/Recycle/etc.]) without going through Masterworks qualifications. Seems like an apology to the profession community for giving away the Legendary tools as drops with arbitrary AH pricing making MW tool production unprofitable.

As for Oil of Vitriol, see is as an alternative recipe. Besides it will be a few weeks before the gathering skills advance enough to acquire all these materials.

That might be true but still yet having duplicate recipes is still a bit weird when it needs the same items. As for gathering profession gos that does all depend if you use a xp supplement when gathering items.
For me I do so it will get advanced soon.
As for the crafted potions go I can state that the power potion crafted does not provide 3.9K or whatever it was power to you when using it.
This is a bug which I will make a new thread over.
Even if it isnt or is fact is they should have looked into this stuff much closer and realized what was working to what wasnt working and get things right.

My guess is that they are going to radically rework Mastercrafting when they update it. At least, it makes no sense that it starts at level 70 or that the initial tiers are all based around products inferior to trash you find on the ground.

However no word was said by anyone from the cryptic team. it isn't like having an extra recipe of the same name needing different stuff confuses me or makes me stop getting my professions to level 80 but It would be nice if the team stated they messed up and stated that they will be fixing it or stated that it wasnt a mess up and was meant to be that way.
I mean it just seems as if they do not test the stuff they release other wise things would be much different.
Still I guess we can assume they are going to update masterwork but hey I do not really assume stuff because it makes an HAMSTER of you and them. I rather be told rather then assume things.

We won't hear from Cryptic on the weekends, earliest would be Monday evening. We usually only hear from them on the weekends if a new mod is about to drop and that would be in the preview forums.

Hello! I'll circle back with the team for more insight into the two recipes!

Thank you that would be nice and if you could post back when the team tells you why its present and let us know that would be awesome.
