Guild Wars 2

How can I get this done as cheap and fast as possible ?

Buy adorned jewels (whichever is cheapest), copper settings and copper hooks to make copper studs with jewelcrafting would be my guess based on a brief look at prices.

Artificer crafting Essences of Luck. Transmogrifying gem stones, and making Trays of Mango Pies if you already have that recipe from the mystic toilet.

If you’re planning on maxing your armor crafts, I’d wait until next week. There’s a high chance ascended armor comes out in about a week.

This is a good way to go about it, after dungeoning, save all your luck drops you salvage, craft them all to exotic. I got my monthy done with less than 1 gold in TP items/kits I purchased because I didn’t want to wait (and another % of luck).

Refining essences of luck or ascended materials.

Wait, what? O.o Refining Luck Essences works? Man, that’s gonna make this Monthly SO easy. XD

Refining essences is the way I did it too. If this weren’t available, I’d be making master inscriptions with cheap materials like I did with one monthly earlier this year.

Get a boatload of green armours/weapons, salvage the lot (you’ll have a LOT of blue essences) and if you’re an artificer just go into the ‘Refinement’ section, near the bottom, and craft away your master essences! Then make rares and exo’s out of those as well, saves click time and RSI.

Will definitely do that over the remaining weeks. XD I tend to already get loads of blues/greens from doing Fractals/dungeons. Thanks for the tip!

I had a lot of t5 mats left from all the dungeon runs so I was able to craft a bunch of rares for the mystic toilet for “cheap”

Jewelcrafting is a good bet, because salvaging the end result has a chance of returning you the upgrade (which is also an ingredient).

Well … I usually don’t do the Queensdale champ train for more than a round … but you can hardly beat it for the monthly. Champs, Group Events, Events and the crafting with luck. Pays for itself and you increase your luck.

hehe, I found this out by accident. I am always buying and salvaging masterworks for essences of luck, then I refine and get more mf. took all of like 20 seconds to complete this ach before I knew what happened.

Considering that the next week a rush to level armor professions to 500 will start, that’s going to cover Master Crafter Monthly pretty nicely for those that are going to do it anyway.

what masterworks will be crafted to level them to 500? I think it’s mostly T6 mats, ascended mats, and exotics.

I think it is masterwork or better, yes?

Yes.

Exotics and ascended qualify for “masterwork or better”.

Amassed 130+ Fine Essences and 41 Masterwork Essences of Luck over the week. Combined them all with my Artificer last night, up to Exotic tier. Monthly Masterwork Crafter done, all for free.

T1 wood + T1 bronze = plated dowel. Cheap and abundant in supply.
