I just finished the "Up to Speed" mission and was given the message that the "Mission didn't award any recipes". I was under the impression that this mission didn't appear when no recipes were available, and furthermore, I have no recipes or gear for The Holy Guardian. Is this a bug, or is there some restriction on getting gear for new crusaders? Maybe it's both??

P.S. I have a screenshot but I don't know how to post an image.

As far as I'm aware, missions should notgive gear for new crusaders until 2(?) weeks after they've been released, so I doubt the mission was intentionally meant to give THG any gear. That much I'm pretty confident is a bug. Otherwise, the game will bug out if you do a gear mission for a crusader, get new gear for that crusader, then turn in the mission to "upgrade" to an item the crusader already has equal or better than.

As for posting images, use imgur.com and post the link in the message.

Good to know. I guess that confirms both of my suspicions. There was definitely no gear available when the mission started.
