Long time ago making a rare or exotic with your crafting was awesome and rewarding , now with the inflation of the trading post is just silly to craft something rare or exotic.Please debate this ,I`m curious what profession is still ok to level nowadays.

Some stats you can still only get through crafting (Valk and Apoth gear). Some items still make a profit over the base mats (gw2spidy has that info). It’s a great way to turn gold→ another level 80. So it’s not useless… I would like to see ascended gear able to be crafted though…

The rare market is struggling at the moment, not because of inflation, but because of the improved drop rate of rares in the world event chests.

That being said, when I need quick coin, I usually log on to a character with lvl 400 crafting and start banging out a few items that I can sell for more than the cost of mats…. there’s profit to be had there, you just have to look for it.

I make solid money off rares still. First off make stuff folks might actually use.

Zerk stuff sells well along with Knights. Make things like GS, Pistols or Daggers.. Those always move really quick.

I’d agree with this in general, though I’ve found that the velocity is slower, I’m waiting longer for the same things to move…. the profit margins haven’t changed, but it feels like demand is down.
