So far I've gotten 2 Flawless Star plans and no higher level plans. Does anyone know ifI need to have, say, Flawless Star Amethyst taught to my blacksmith in order to have a chance of receiving Perfect Star Amethyst drop from monsters etc.?
i havent found a single jewelcrafting plan drop. nor any fine exalted blacksmithing plans...... nor any high level legendaries... nor any sets or high profit rares
invested over 250 hours in my demon hunter (and yes im farming inferno). damn rng hates me.

(this build was before D3 launched... looking back on it now - i had no idea what i was doing)
I had 2 perfect star recipes drop which were kinda useless for me since I didn't have the flaweless star recipes yet at that time, so you don't have to get the first recipes first its all RNG.
Thus far, my first Design was Radiant Star Amethyst next up was Perfect Star Topaz, Perfect Star Emerald, Flawless Star Topaz, Flawless Star Emerald.
I found those within the first week of farming Act 3 Inferno before 1.0.3, I have not found a single Design since then, I am however up to 46/50 Plans (For the Achievement) learned from the Blacksmith purely from drops. The rare ones I've gotten to drop include: Exalted Grand Armplates, Exalted Grand Vambraces, Exalted Grand Greavesx2. Multiple Grand weapons that are useless to craft even after the gold reduction in price.
Edit: I've invested 495 Hours into the game and I've found 38 Legendaries/Sets as well, I'm aware I'm lucky for no reason at all.
Therefore no, you don't require the lower tiers of gems learned to have the higher tier plans drop.
