level up crafting with leves only?

[Skies]

Ok thanks so I dont need the recipe to craft something? So there is a use for all this stuff I gathered?

I just tried it out, I put two pieces of Moko Grass in the boxes and it let me make hempen yarn.
But, it only showed the recipe when I had all of the ingredients in place (one piece of moko grass in each box)

I didnt see a list of recipes when I just had one piece of Moko Grass in a box, I had to look the recipe up on Mooglebox.
Did I do something wrong? It would be easier if it did show a list of all the recipes possible from just one ingredient

Indeed, you did nothing at all wrong. The system is de-facto obnoxious and even the development team agrees on that, such that they are changing it, however the entire recipe selection method can unfortunately only be changed come 2.0, wherein it will definitely be far more intuitive, it seems.

But for now, yes, you need to place every single item in a recipe in the boxes, and then you will be given a choice of which recipes that use exclusively what is in the boxes that you want to make. Unfortunately difficult, but they are going to resolve it.

Also as Estellios mentioned, the "Recipes" tab is, indeed, for recently-made recipes. (also do check his post, good tips there)
