Guild Wars 2

Hi all , i started a nerco and took tailoring, im farming the mats myself as it seems pointless buying mats as a crafter as u might as well buy the item, all i have done in game is the daily then farmed centuar/bandits for their bags now im lvl 65 and still farming for cotton never mind the trophy items needed, to me thats very bad as by the time im 80 ill still be farming linen to make gear 20+ levels below me.

In another game if i wanted to farm cloth i would kill humanoid mobs and by the time im done id have enough even in the lastest xpac i had enough windwool cloth just leveling to max tailoring.

Yes i have salaved all the items that drop problem is cause of my lvl it is higher cloth than i need atm, why are the drop rates so bad for cloth? even in them bags i opened 50 just before i posted this and got a massive 10 cotton :S 1hr farm and only enough mats for 5 bolts / 2 bits / 1 item that is overly grindy imo and not needed.

its well known that crafting the items you need as you level up is not possible. you out level anything you can craft in no time. unless you spend a whole lot of money to buy the items you need from the trade post.

also the items you can craft is not worth selling since the materials is worth more than the crafted items ( with a few exceptions which is hard to find and those who do know keep that to themselves ).

btw, you should sell all blue and green items to npc vendor for money as salvaging them isnt worth it. you get in the long run more money by vendoring it than salvaging the items.

Crafting would be much better if they removed the profession lvl requirements:
Craft if you have the mats.

Most people don’t have that problem if they focus on one craft at a time. And even if you have that problem on your first character, any characters after that have a significant head start. My level 19 mesmer (Jeweler) is crafting items that require level 75-80 without using the trading post, and my engineer went from level 16 to level 26 by leveling Chef to 400, and only had to buy Vanilla Beans and Chili Peppers on the trading post.

That would completely remove progress from crafting and no one would do it anymore.
