Guild Wars 2

Hi, im looking into leveling up my weaponsmithing for ascended weapons. My character is already level 80 with no levels into weaponsmithing.
So I was wondering if It would be more efficient if I made a new character and leveled my crafting on that so the exp doesn’t go to waste. The ascended weapons are account bound right?
(Just want some reassurance before I used all my materials)

Yes it is account bound. And yes you can craft from an alt and give it to your main.

Doesn’t crafting an ascended take skill points? So you wouldn’t be wasting those levels because you earned skill points.

only when purchasing things like the Augur Stone

correct so you can buy the Augur Stone with a lvl 80 then give the Augur Stone to the crafter.

As long as you don’t plan to delete that crafting character later on then there is really no disadvantage of doing this.
