Guild Wars 2

Hello All

I am new to the game and not in a guild yet to answer this question but…..

Can you craft exotic gear once your max level? I ask because from what I read on the net . Orr is the place to go for exotic gear, the Karma vendors at the temples, but I hear no one goes there now since the Fotm came into the game.

Also noticed in the forums about people not going to Orr anymore

So I ask incase I am gonna hit a brick wall at 80.

Sorry if the question sounds stupid but again I am new so thought I would ask

Thank you for your time

Yes, there’s crafting for exotics… I’m pretty sure….

You don’t need to farm orr to get the gear, you just need to do the relevant event once and you get the option to buy the gear with karma you can get anywhere.

Yes all of the crafting professions other than cooking can craft exotics at max level. You can buy recipes with karma from the crafting vendors for each profession. The only real issue with crafting exotics is they are all quite expensive. They all require 5 ectos and T6 mats, so by the time you finish making them it is often more expensive to craft than to buy from the Trading Post. Unless, of course, you farm your own mats, but the time it takes to farm is often longer than it would take to just farm for money and buy from the TP.

You will find a million threads about how crafting isn’t profitable, and just as many with little tricks to make it profitable, but ultimately crafting is, at the moment, mostly just for personal satisfaction. If you have a bunch of extra mats hanging around and you want to earn some easy exp, go for it. If you are looking for the easiest/cheapest way to get exotics, just go to the TP.
