Tailoring at 60 but unable to learn recipes

I just achieved level 60 in Tailoring. However, I am unable to learn any recipes that require level 60, either at the tailoring station or from the NPC who sells the recipes. I tried logging out and in again, but this did not change the result.

The error message is the same as the one I got when my skill was actually below 60.

 

they don't require level 60, they require proficiency 60. go into your skill tree, mouse over tailoring and see what your actual proficiency is in the skill description.

 

When I mouse over tailoring in the skill window, it says "Level 60" in the upper right of the pop-up. In the skill window, tailoring has a "60" above it. When I go to the tailoring merchant and look at the recipes in the shop window, "requires level 60" is in red.

If these do not indicate that my skill is sufficient to learn recipes that require "level 60" when I look at them in the tailoring merchant's window, this needs to be revisited so it does show the required / current skill.

 

in your screenshot, it shows your proficiency as 54.8.

 

Yeah they need to change the tooltip to say "requires proficiency 60" rather than say level 60.

 

So then why do the recipes say requires *LEVEL* 60?

 

For the same reason all the other unfinished things and bugs stay unfinished and buggy.

 

it doesn't. it says proficiency.

 

OK, mea culpa, it does indeed say proficiency (and my brain must have substituted level). But you do have to admit that it's confusing as all get-out to have two distinct stats - a level and a proficiency, and skills require levels while recipes require proficiency. This is going to cause grief if it goes to release like this.

 

it is! and they know it. i just don't think they've decided on a better way to communicate it yet.
