Guild Wars 2

Hello guys I am a new player,

I do not know how crafting works, is there a youtube video guide which explains it nicely for someone like me?

Also I would like to craft my ascended gear as soon as possible, how much gold would it cost approx. for someone to craft a full ascended armor + runes + amulets etc from 0 ?

I mean I have 0 levels in my crafting and I want to craft ascended armors – how much gold would I need to have if i’m going to buy everything all materials off the trading post?

Thanks in advance

Gw2crafts.net is the best source I know of for pricing and walking you through leveling crafting. It updates periodically based on TP prices so that it gives a reasonable route to maxing out the craft. If you only care about leveling it up for ascended, you really don’t need much other than that.

The wiki page for ascended armor lists what materials you’ll need to craft a full set. Put those items into the TP or GW2Spidy to estimate your costs. As a tailor, bolts of damask alone run me over 360g for the full set. It’s very expensive assuming you’re starting from zero.

Edit: A lot of what you need for ascended is time gated, i.e. you can only craft one of a material per day. As a result buying these off the TP will usually cost more than crafting it yourself, so if you buy it directly you’re essentially paying a premium to get it right now.

I will have around 650 gold thanks to my friend Hope thats going to be enough at least for armors.

what armor are you going to craft? light, medium or heavy? as an elementalist i had to craft light and it cost me way way more then it would medium or heavy.

im a thief, so i would say light

Thieves use medium, you don’t have a choice in the matter as armor weight is determined by class. I don’t believe there’s a site that calculates it, so you will probably have to do the math yourself. If you’re looking for a more detailed guide than that on the wiki, check out the one on Dulfy:

This might be my new inspirational quote of the month.

Positive attitude or just naive? Maybe a bit of both….

Sorry, don’t mean to be discouraging to the OP….carry on.
