Guild Wars 2

I am crafting to 500, and I reached 450 yesterday. Seeing that I needed obsidian shards to refine, I am only going to refine what I need for my weapon, a greatsword. The rest of the leveling will be done through discovering rares and exotics. My question is, if I discover a weapon made with t2 materials compared to a weapon made with t5 materials, do they give equal experience or should I stick with t5 rares and exotics?

EDIT: just tested it, t5 gives more discovery xp

you can also discover lvl 80 blue and green weapons for some discovery cxp after lvl 450

You should be able to get 75 level of experience just doing raw material refine, ascended material and lvl80 blue green and rare.

Also keep in mind that nearly every single t2 mat is more expensive than its t5 counterpart.

I just used t2 as an example, but the real question was if it could be done with all tiers of materials.

I would stick with T5 only, not only are the mats plentiful and cheap, you can salvage for ectos afterwards which will help in the crafting of the exotics you’ll need to make.
