Guild Wars 2

Just managed to get my tailoring from 0-500 with spending a little over 30 gold and making a 20 gold return.

I proceed to do the math and add up all the prices for making the spinal blade back/Ascended armor and…

What the actual backwards flying kitten? You need ONE HUNDRED bolts of silk to make ONE SPOOL to make a bolt of damsk. Yet Armorsmithing/Leatherworking need only FIFTY.

That’s HALF of what we need to make ONE.

I’m completley confused here how this is fair. Leatherworking is notoriusly cheap to do as leather drops all the time and nobody wants any.

Armorsmithing is a little harder, but you can find ore all throughout the world.

Tailoring requires drops and drops alone. and yet we have the most expensive way to make items?

Where is the logic. Someone please console me.

Believe me, there have been enough threads on this exact topic that all we can do now is assume that it’s “working as intended”, and yup, we got shafted.

This subject has been beaten into the ground already. Take five minutes to review the dozens of posts already discussing this and you’ll find all you need.

Wow this is horrible for a casual player.

Should I just remake my character into a Guardian/Warrior?

Warriors, guardians, elementalists, and mesmers are the most powerful dungeon running toons in the current DPS meta. You decide.

Every class uses tons of Damask to make ascended armor. You wouldn’t get around it by switching to a different profession.

Not really shafted. Medium and Heavy both need Damask bolts too.

Before you go on a tirade about something you should at the very least know what you are talking about. It takes 100 bolts of silk and it doesn’t matter what craft discipline you are using.

It’s about time tailors got shafted. Karma for those seven giants they kept killing…

I would rephrase it to “Scholar classes = shafted”.

For a full set of light armor you need 10800 Silk Scraps and 900 Thick Leather Sections. For the complete set of medium armor it is 7200 Silk Scraps and 2700 Thick Leather Sections. The heavy armor set needs 7500 Silk Scraps and 1600 Mithril Ore. On top of the cost of the materials, light armor even takes longer to craft than the others, because of the timegates.
