Guild Wars 2

I am about lvl 60, and I do not have any crafting professions leveled above 75.

I cannot seem to understand how the process works. I have gathered a bunch of materials, and when I go to level up a crafting profession, I usually craft about 20 material items, then I run out of gathered mats. I can then usually combine 4 or 5 crafted materials to make things, but then I run out of things to craft. I then look at the discovery process, which I usually only have 2 things to discover. I then get stuck, and either have to spend hours returning to lower levels to gather materials, or learn a new profession, where I can only get to level 30 or 50 or so, then I run out of materials. I usually only have about 1 gold at any given time, so I dont have the money to purchase materials to level my professions.

My brother told me that you can get about 15 character levels as you use professions towards your goal of lvl 80, but I just cant seem to figure out how to use crafting to level my character. I realize that many people quickly understand how this process works, but for some reason, I cant figure out how to take advantage of the crafting professions.

Any direction or assistance would be appreciated. I have already read up on some tutorials, which mostly tell you to use the discovery process, but I am so limited on crafting materials, I cant discover more than 2 items at a time. I just dont have the right combinations, and I dont have access to the items needed to make the right combinations. Its totally frustrating. I would rather have a simplistic crafting structure. I must be missing something.

If you are trying to do this all with just mats that you have and not buying anything off the TP you are going to need to do a lot of farming(which will probably get you 80 anyways). I would suggest checking http://www.gw2db.com/ to sort recipes by craft/level(you can do that on the wiki as well but easier here).

First you craft the raw materials and then you craft the armor/weapon pieces.
After that you make an inscripton.
And last you put the pieces and the inscription in the discovery tab and voila you’re done.
And I think that it’s kinda obvious what crafting profession is god for what class.
