Guild Wars 2

Working on my Legendary and found that I need max weaponsmithing and armorsmithing.

Anyone have good guides that tell me exactly what I need to buy and craft to level to 400 in the most efficient way?

I use this guide for all the crafting professions.
Just finished speed-levelling armoursmithing and huntsman on an alt,

Youtube always will have a good guide for professions.

I’m still trying to figure out the basics of this crafting. Why is it so many games make the crafting so confusing anymore? Everquest 1 used to be a huge grind for crafting, but at least theirs was far easier to understand. Unlike games now where you have to go to some website just to try and figure the thing out. So far I’m really disliking the crafting in GW2.

Weaponsmithing and armorsmithing is pretty easy.

The insignias and bootstraps/panels weapon hilts/heads etc are auto discovered for you in the crafting pane.

So if you’re say skill level 125 and trying to get to 150 and haven’t made anything yet. Make the blade and hilt for a dagger that uses the materials of that tier,, make an insignia (of any kind) that requires 125 skill to make. Go to the discovery pane, put them in, it’ll make a dagger of that insignia type which you’ll then discover. Now do it again with different insignias and you’ll keep crafting/discovering more types of daggers. Or greatswords, or hammers, or whatever.

Then at 150, repeat again since new insignias will appear. Base metals, cloth, ore etc seem to switch at 75, 150, 225, 300, etc.

Believe me I don’t have recipes memorized, but I can still do it very easily without looking at any guides or google. Everything you make leveling to 400 follows the same pattern. Once it clicks, you’ll smack yourself on the head and wonder why you bothered looking any of it up. Of course certain high end recipes break from the pattern, those you’ll want to look up. None of that is needed to level to 400 though.

It’s much easier than what was going on in Everquest 1.
