A few weeks ago it dawned on me about crafting, and recipes included. Im a gatherer my trade, but this is all encompassing.
1. Max level cap is 55
2. All gathering materials only go to level 50.
3. Even in the new Volcano area, there are no higher materials.
Simply put, they arent ingame yet. Frogster says, and I quote "1 class can goto level 80 crafting, 3 to 60, and the rest are locked at 40". This sounds Great, but what they dont say is the max level cap is 55. So, why would a armorcrafter (example) make armor for a level 56 (or higher) if theres nobody on ANY server that can wear it?
Its obvious to this plaer that as they increase level caps, they will add new items and material. As for right now, all my gathering skills are locked at 60 because theres no Master miner, herbalist, or woodworker to level me (they arent ingame)
