Guild Wars 2

I’ve gotten my cooking up to 164 but now there’s nothing new popping up in the production tab. Do I have to level up the rest of the way using the discovery tab or is there something I’m missing?

I haven’t crafted much in this game as you can tell.

Discovery is basically essential to leveling any crafting. Go to the wiki, look up ingredients you have, and start aiming for recipes you can make with those. Start with recipes at your level for the most XP.

Or just open the discover tab and start playing around. The wiki helps a lot though

Thanks.

To level any of the crafting skills you should only be doing the new discoveries.

The only time you should craft something you already have on your list is:

1. There is nothing left to discover.
2. You actually found an item you can get exp with and make a profit. (very unlikely)
3. The known item is extremely cheap compared to the cost of a new discovery even when you consider the bonus exp you get for a new discovery.
4. You need the sub-component to make a new discovered final product. (Cooking)

If you want a guide, there is a really good one that takes you from 0-400 step by step here:

Follow the guide above, and you’ll fly though cooking fast. Probably the easiest of all crafts.

Thanks everyone.
