{"item_id":“12134”,“count”:"25"},

https://api.guildwars2.com/v1/item_details.json?item_id=66200
{"error":10,product,module,line,“text”:“invalid item_id”}

Its the same for recipes 9337 – 9660 …
StevenL.3761:
Can anyone confirm that these recipes are actually in the game?
Recipe 9642 would be a Chef recipe, even though it isn’t specified by the API. I don’t have a chef to test this recipe in-game, but someone could go and try to discover it using the 4 ingredients.

IMHO If these recipes are not in game, then these recipes should not be even in api.
StevenL.3761:
Depends on your definition of “in the game”. For me, it means that the item exists, and that there is a means of obtaining it. It’s possible for items to exist in the game that can (not yet|no longer) be obtained.
Following that mindset, I don’t care that much about this particular glitch if these recipes are not yet available in-game. In all probability, the problem would fix itself once these recipes do become available.
It’s just that I have no way to verify whether these recipes can or can’t be used in the game. Doesn’t seem like anyone cares enough to try this either.
