Not a mistake. Star recipes are supposedly harder than regular ones.
ARR 4 star recipes are identical to level 53 recipes in Heavensward.
Where as ARR 3 star recipes are approximately between the difficulty of that of level 51 and 52 Heavensward recipes.
I would assume Heavensward star recipes would be of approximate relative difficulty of their Storm Blood counterparts as well.
Just simply level up your crafter classes! That's the easiest thing to do. Personally, I do enjoy the challenges of taking on higher level recipes though.
