I have the recipes for the Aegis and the Azure Guardian Armor, but the alchemy window will not show that I have the corresponding level ten special items, the Mighty Cobalt Armor and the Mighty Defender. The inventory window shows that I have these items and I am able to use them playing the game, but the Alchemy window wont acknowledge them. Has anyone else had this kind of problem, and if so, is there a solution, or perhaps a pending bug fix? Thanks.
Unequip it. You most likely have the shield on. You can't craft it if it's in use :v
