Guild Wars 2

So im at about 380 I think and it seems from 380 to 400 its going to take a ton of mats and just making the same stuff over and over or am i missing something that could help me get up there faster? when i hit 375 i noticed nothing new showed up its jsut discovering stuff and using all of my gems for duplicating things as i have already discovered them. is this the fastest way to 400 or did i miss something?

To easily get from 375-400, buy yourself some globs of ecto and talk to the jeweler npc. (Purchase the recipe from the vendor)
There are 5 or 6: lvl 375 recipes, that require globs of ecto.

Buy recipe that requires 375 jewelcrafting from a vendor near Jewelcrafting Station – costs about 800 karma.

oh sweet thanks a ton guys!! appreciate it alot

Still is the priciest profession to go from 375 to 400 due to the globs, though these are coming down in price.

You only need a handful of ectos, and with any luck you’ll get most back on a salvage. When I went 375 → 400, I lost 1 ecto. On the flip side, I used fewer other mats (mith/fines/gems) than I had to use for any other profession, and the gems in general are easy since you can transmute up.

eh its fine i had 15ectos lol anyhow hit 400 right after they let me know

Grats Thanks for checking back and letting us know it worked out for you.
It actually was free for me, short of up front investment, as everything I made I was able to sell back at just above what I had into it, maybe losting a fraction of a few silver, due to fees/taxes of the darn TP. But Maybe spent 10 silver in all after profit/loss to go from 375-400. Not shabby compared to the horrible return on some of my other crafts.

I went from 375 – 400 from “Discovery” of new items.

Once ou get to 390 it just takes a handful of the exotic recipes you can purchase from the vendor. Cost me around a gold or 2.

if you discovery all recipes in order(discover all 325 recipes then 350 then 375) it can take you all the way to about 392/393.then you will only need 2-3 ectos to get to 400

Question on this. So my jeweler is at 389 . having ectos isn’t the problem (although I’ve been banking them to make some armor and some forge stuff so a bit sadfaced there at using them).

What’s the best way to use the LEAST amount though. I see the rare discoveries require 3 actual Embellished gems to make. So I’m assuming it would take at least 6 ectos for me, if I get lucky, to get to 400? (6 Gem Crafts and than the 2 slot pieces).

sad to say, i think that’s the best way to get it to 400. I make my own jewelries and made a few more unnecessary discoveries and reached 392/3, but i still had to make 2 rare jewelries

urtv has it right. Use discoveries & potions up to 390ish, then it only takes a couple of the rare karma recipe items to close the gap.

It is expensive to get the last 10 points, but it was dirt cheap to get the first 390, so I really had no complaints.

so heres what i did for the last 10 points picked 2 gems i had 3 of made the rare recipies then discovered the 2 i think i made rings or something? lol forgot exactly what i made cause i just TP’ed it anyhow it will get you to 400 i actually dont even think i needed to discvover the last one but i already had everything to do it so did it anyways but good luck its not so bad the hard part is making the exotics and getting lucky with the orbs you want i got 2 made so far only need 15more saphires lol oh and use stones that you dont plan on using exotics that way you can convert the ones you do plan on doing into orbs

There arent “potions” for Jewel crafting. And to the person saying craft stuff till 390, that is horribly inefficient.

Below is the CHEAPEST and most efficient way to get from 375-400 hands down.

(Because everything turns blue/white @ 375, you have to burn through a LOT of resources, to try to make standard green jewelry, which wont pay for itself vs the below method)

Step 1) Get yourself to 375
Step 2) Buy 2 recipes of “Embellished Brilliant Jewel” from the vendor.
- Cheapest to make is usually Sapphire, Emerald, Coral, and Chrysacola.
(If you have specific ones you want, buy those of course!)

Each jewel requires 1 ecto, 1 mithril filigree, and 5 crystals.
Each jewelry piece however, requires 3 jewels.

Step 3) Craft each one 3 times, which should get you close to 390.

Step 4) Now, make 2 mithril hooks, 2 mithril bands, ankittenhril settings.

Step 5) Now “Discover” your newly made jewels into two bands and two different earings, and if that doesnt get you to 400, buy one more recipe, and repeat with that crystal.

Sell em at TP when your done if you don’t need them!

Sorry for borrowing this thread. I’m already lvl400 jeweler. Now I don’t know what to do next with it? Do I need to farm ori? What exactly can I craft?

you make exotics and make your char more powerful. Then you can do w/e you want.

400 is max so you might as well do another skill.

At 400 you can now craft Exotic jewelry. However, they do not automatically unlock. You must for 308 karma a piece, buy the exotic recipes off the Jeweler vendor. Instead of 3 jewels per piece, it takes 5, and requires Orichalcum instead of Mithril.

So, you pay for the jewel recipe and craft 5 of a single type of “Exquisite Jewel”then craft Orichalcum band/earrings/or hook and setting, and you can make an exotic Orichalcum piece.
