I'm trying to level an Architect but I'm running into some road blocks. I don't think I'm understanding this the way I'm supposed to. Especially with Spindly Habanerobloom, Decorative Meat I, Simple Lopp Pillow Pile, and Thin Keyhole Window (flowers.) I'm assuming (and I could be wrong) that these are not drops as you can't search for them on the Auction House. They are also not sold by the vendor in Thayd Architect Kaspmara. So how do I get these patterns to unlock in my schematics? Right now they just show a magifying glass or a padlock. I also do not understand on some schmatics there is a green spot, I've tried getting my additives in that green spot hoping it would open up a pattern but it's not working. If anyone could help with these questions I'd greatly appreciate it!

When you unlock hungering necrobloom, you then use addatives to find spindly havanerobloom, so you are correct there are no patterns for those. It is a minigame where you try to hit the target but using different materials. Some can be very tough to hit and can be a bit expensive. Take a look at the talent unlocks because they can really help reduce the plat you spend in unlocking these. It really is a case of just figuring it out as you go, while blowing gold. So it really helps if you have a specific goal.
 
You may also want to just do a different tradeskill to start. Despite what it says, there is no cost to swapping tradeskills, just a cooldown period.

I do understand how to craft as you can see by the recipes that I'm doing I'm already on artisan architect. I am having problems getting certain patterns though since A. all the recipes that I listed are not unlocking, so there might be some kind of glitch and B. Decorative Meat I does not have anything above it. 
 
Could an architect who has these patterns unlock please answer the questions I have listed above 1. Where do I get the Decorative Meat I Pattern from? 2. What is the green area on certain patterns for? 3. If a pattern has a magnifying glass and/or padlock on it how do you unlock it ie Simple lopp pillow pile and spindly habnerobloom? 
 
Thanks

			Nevermind I finally figured it out. I really think that Wildstar/Carbine should come up with a better tutorial. No where did they describe getting it in the green section would open up new patterns. It's also confusing when the icon says the pattern is sold from a vendor or dropped in the world when it's actually not. And then to have some actually unlocked by patterns that you need to buy from a vendor?! It's just very very confusing. There is alot I do not like about this game but the most exasperating is the unlocking of patterns.

Thank you Lunaria. That's what I was trying to figure out; the hazy area and how to unlock new patterns. I never got a tutorial and I even went back in and opened up all the tutorials pertaining to tradeskills and crafting: Nothing. Someone should do a tutorial on youtube on how to do Architect as it's very difficult. 
 
You are also very right, I've done alot where I'm dead center and it didn't count. Makes me so frustrated! But I've got almost all the patterns unlocked now. I really hope if I ever change professions I don't lose those patterns!

			You don't lose any progress when you change tradeskills, but when you change back you have to log out and back in - the UI does not refresh your recipes.. e.g. it will say stuff is locked when it's not.
