Guild Wars 2

Lets say I want to make any armor in the game, can I do that? or any weapon? If not what are my limitations?
Also how do I customize it? I want to make it look unique. Are there weapon skins?

There are certain “looks” that are not craftable, both in armor and weapons. Other than that, you can craft the best items of any given level (bar pre-level 10). Keep in mind that the best equipment at any given level is very, very standardized and the only difference between two pieces of gear will be the different stat distributions, the looks, and the rune in place.

In regards to that, the different stat distributions will mean any 1-3 choices of your stat (depending on the level) with one primary and up to two secondary stats which will follow a system noted on the wiki (ingame type: /wiki Item Nomenclature).

The looks can be anything you want respective to that [armor]type (Medium has to be a Medium armorskin, Heavy has to be a Heavy armorskin, Light has to be a…), but can be anything, including starter gear oe even Legendary (in regards to weapons. Yes, you can run around at level 1 with a Legendary weapon, if you have it ready and are willing to spend some extra money to be silly).

The rune is equivalent to an enchantment in any other game. The bonus you get from the rune is equivalent to how many of that rune you are wearing. If you are wearing 5 of the same runes (not including aqua breather, which is basically your underwater hat), then you will, in TOTAL get all the bonuses from 1-5. You will not get the bonuses 5x, nor will you only get one of the bonuses. You will get ALL OF THE BONUSES ONCE.

Any questions?

FYI, there are some stat combinations that are not craftable, though most are.

Thank you, I’ve done some more research on it and more of understanding. For example, can I make Flame Legion armor have rampager stats?

I would like to note that Flame Legion armor already comes with Rampager stats as one of the options (http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Officer_Veros). However, If you were to want a look that didn’t use a stat-choice you wanted, then you would have to use a transmutation crystal.

What you just told me made my day, I how do those crystals work?
