Guild Wars 2

Hey, Just wondering, I’m completly new, and i was wondering if there is a proffession that is more beneficial for a player with no outstanding rescources. And if there is, could you kindly explain why? thanks in advance

For PvE: Warrior, Guardian and Ranger are probably the 3 most noob-friendly professions.

oh uhmm.. i didnt mean class. sorry if my lack of knowledge of this game made some miscommunication.

this is the crafting forums, thus my “proffession” reference was to like, what kind of crafting class/type/thing.

As a new player, you should stay as far away from crafting as possible. You will only burn your money, since crafting is not actually useful for anything other than powerleveling (for a steep price, that is) and a few recipes which for the most part you cannot make use of until you’re level capped and have a fair amount of gold to cover all the associated costs.

gotta agreed it is expensive but useful!

Here are the useful crafting skills for low level:
Armorsmith for metal boxes, metal boxes gives you 8 slot of inventory (FYI you need this if you wear heavy armor)
Leatherworker for leather packs gives you 8 slot of inventory (FYI you need this if you wear medium armor)
Tailor for Cloth bags gives you 8 slot of inventory (FYI you need this if you wear light armor)

Suggestion save those crafting exp boost it will save your money in leveling your crafting. I suggest gather some supplies first before you buy in Black Lion Trading Company.

Jewelry is probably the easiest craft to start but as others have said it’s not really for a newb player. You’ll need a ton crafting mats to get started, or pay through the nose at the trading post. The nice thing about Jewelry though, there is no salvaging of drops for even more crafting mats. Just go and collect everything you see along the way and “deposit collectables” along the way.

There is also no salvaging for cooking, but that one is way more complicated and it’s best to use a guide to make it fast.

I would say look at your character and choose a crafting profession suitable.
Just start playing and the mats will come. If you are in no rush there is no need to spend a lot of money.

When I started, my first crafting professions were Chef and Jeweler. Chef because all characters can use that stuff and it can help you along the way while playing.

Also, if you want to ever make a legendary weapon, you will need certain crafting professions at max so you can also look at it from that perspective.

Thank you all for your input! I’m liking the forums here.
@tenzhine thats a really good tip, i’ll try that.

As many has said thakittens best not to try to craft from 1-400 in one go since it will cost a lot but for a tip it can be advisable to craft as you progress in the game.
Doing 1-400 is for powerleveling and its gold sink.
If you plan to do jewellry or chef as a crafting profession then PM and i will be able to hook you up with mats to craft with which would help me to clear some invent space
