Guild Wars 2

Does making Orichalcum Imbued Inscriptions give you any exp beyond level 425?

It does.
Any discovery does give you discovery experience, as long as you didnt know the recipe before.
About 2 months ago I tried to make a point to Anet, that reaching lvl 500 in weaponsmithing doesnt require crafting any exotics and i made my point, at least to myself.

Hmm… I wonder how much XP discovering Beaded weapons would give you at that stage…

I don’t think crafting Orichalcum Imbued Inscriptions count as “discovery”. They are under the inscription tab and you also just buy a recipe for them.

Considering they’re crafted using tier 4 mats I wouldn’t expect as much as crafting strait up T6 exotics.

It’s even easier now with those 450 spore consumables.

You are right. I thought the OP was talking about discovering weapons, not insignias.

Obviously, but depending on your spare karma, it might be worth spending some of it on Sun Beads to squeeze out as much XP as you can from them. It would cost just under 30k karma to discover all the Beaded weapons, not a huge amount if you do a fair bit of WvW, underleveled Fractals or regular Teq runs.
