Details I hit level 60 alchemy and cannot read the recipe for the 2-handed weapon socket. According to the recipe I need level 60 alchemy to read it.
Steps to Reproduce Try to read recipe

 

Seems to take 61, I was able to get it to work at 61, even though recipe is 60

 

Same here for 1h socket I needed 61

 

Same here, I'm 60 and I can't read the recipe for Jewel Socketed Ring or Amulet.

 

I can't get it to work at 61, did you have any luck with that?

@Attenwood
Hey there, do you know if there's an expected fix before the weekend?

 

Still unable to read recipes for socketing as of build 455.

Alchemy skill is 70. Requirement says 60. Probably someone moved a decimal point into the wrong place?

 

I hit 64 last night and still no luck. I heard rumor it takes 71, so hopefully by this weekend I can afford enough garlic to get there

 

LOL

I'm at 70 now, I'll be able to confirm for you in two seconds if it's working at 71, I doubt it though.

 

No, 71 does not work.

But I heard a rumor that 81!...

 

Alchemy level does not equal Alchemy skill level.

I had the same issue with Tailoring.

Once you hit Skill level 72, you'll have something like 60.2 Alchemy level, and you should be able to work at that point.

Whoever decided to put diminishing returns on the production skills should have told the person making the recipes to use skill level rather than "ability level".

 

Ha! 72!

I'll try it.

 

@Jack Knyfe You are correct!

72 is the magic number.

 

Hummph.... Fix one or the other.

 

This is currently working as intended, if perhaps not displaying the information in the most intuitive way. The number that needs to be observed is the Alchemy Level, not the Alchemy Proficiency (skill) level. You can see what your actual level is by observing the tooltip and green text within alchemy proficience.
