Guild Wars 2

Hey guys, I’m just wondering if anyone knows a relatively cheap way to get to level 450 in weaponsmithing from level 426. I want to start refining all these ascended materials and have no way to lol.

Use piles of putrid essence to craft about 25 Superior runes of the Krait. Then start on a few exotics until 450.

Make sure to double check the prices of the weapon specific crafting mats, like handles, blades etc. Often they are cheaper than crafting them yourself with ori and ancient wood.

Here’s my issue: All of my characters are L400 crafters and all are maxed out for gaining crafting points by working with raw mats, the qtys and cost to create gems, jewels, sigils, runes at this level far exceeds the value of the created item, and there just aren’t enough items to discover to provide the needed boost to L450+.
Up to L400 a crafter can gain xp by working with raw mats and creating the needed sigils, gems, jewels, etc needed to discover and created arms/armor. But beyond L400, this model disappears and now becomes “yer on yer own, bud————goooood luck!”
Maybe this area needs a quick “looksee” and update?

They adressed this by resetting all lvl 400 recipes that you already learned, so they give discovery cxp again. You can also still refine t6 common mats and gain cxp until 425. Some runes and sigils are cheap to craft, some are a little more expensive but usually yield profit.
