Guild Wars 2

Once I hit 50, I’d like to craft my way to 80 using three crafts. I just need to know which 3 crafts are cheapest and if you guys can, give an estimate for each one. Thanks.

Make it the 2 easiest crafts because I guess I can spare doing 10 more levels to save gold.

Cooking is most difficult, but cheapest. You can get from 0-80 for less than 2 gold.

Artificier is second cheapest, since you basically only need wood and the fine materials. Eventually you will need mithril to finish the last 10 levels.

Cooking is by far the easiest. I went from 0-400 in about 20 minutes (including purchasing the majority of the mats). I used this guide for it: http://qorthos.wordpress.com/guild-wars-2/chef-guide/

I found Leatherworking, Armoursmithing and Tailoring to be about the same difficulty. Tailoring is only more difficult due to not having nodes to farm. I also used this site for the rest of the crafting professions: http://www.guildwars2-crafting.com/. This guide can get you to 400 without using ectos or orichalcum IIRC, so you’ll save a lot of money in terms of that. If you follow the guides on either of those sites, you’ll have no problems.
