Legendary quickhack crafting: is there a bug?

[Alvagor]

Hello, I have a question about crafting a quickhack.
It seems I got a legendary quickhack recipe which allows me to create the legendary version of that hack (it's the System Reset quickhack).
Since I have the purple version of this quickhack, I have all the materials needed to craft it, and I actually can do that... however I didn't unlock the perk needed in the intelligence tree to craft legendary quickhacks, so I don't understand why I'm able to do that. I can even craft it after resetting abilities and not assigning them. Am I missing something or is it just a bug?

Thank you for reading.

Something is bugged with quickhack crafting. I tested it on 1.6 on a new toon by taking create common quickhacks skill first. Then once I did a point respec I could still craft those items even though I did not put a point back into the skill.

Quickhack crafting uses the crafting panel but is entirely based on the intelligence tree. You need 20 in intelligence and the the correct perk in the intelligence tree to be able to craft quickhacks.

Yes that's the point. I just have 12 in intelligence and obviously I don't have the perk, so I shouldn't be able to craft that quickhack... but honestly it's ok, at least it doesn't break the game too much and I can just not craft it if it feels wrong.

So did you actually craft it yet? Lets see what happens

I think, the only thing the perk does is unlock the crafting recipes, and once you have the recipe you can craft it. They might not have implemented the same constraints as with the crafting of other items … though one could argue they should have.
(Compare to the tech tree where perks are needed to craft certain rarity items and certain skill levels unlock recipes.)

Yes I was able to craft it, although as I said I'm not sure it's intended.

Well I know that you can unlock crafting recipes for various items by increasing the creation ability, which you increase by crafting or scrapping other items... however if you don't spend skill points to craft higher rarity items, you still can't craft those items, even with recipes. But this thing has to do with the tech tree. In fact if I'm not wrong in the intelligence tree you can't unlock magically quickhacks recipes by reaching a precise level like in the tech tree: you can just unlock and get the skill to craft those quickhacks, but it shouldn't unlock any recipes, which you have to get in another way... unless I'm wrong.
