Guild Wars 2

So after some crafting ive gotten to weaponsmith level 460 and now have no more mats. I right now have 60 gold and willing to spend some of it to get to 500 to continue crafting zojja’s dagger…. Any tips/guides/hints?

Craft exotics pretty much.

I think you can get exp from crafting deldrimor ingots, spiritwood planks, bloodstone bricks, etkittenil level 475? 480? something like that. It’s incredibly slow – would take around a month to get through it, but it is cheaper than exotics.
the other possibility is crafting potent superior sharpening stones. I forget the cutoff where they stop giving exp, but those are pretty profitable to craft (if you already have the recipe. if not, it’s kinda expensive and wouldn’t save you money for getting to 500)
I think from 450 to 500 requires discovering around 20 exotics (15 if you use crafting booster). So you can expect like 2 less than that.

I remember you could level off mithril recipes although it would be very slow.

At this stage I would recommend you not rush things until you have eight deldrimor steel ingots crafted. That’s the number you will need for the dagger and you may as well craft them yourself while it does you some good.

Another way of doing things on the cheap is to use dungeon tokens. For any dungeon except CoF you can buy dungeon weapons with Magi, Rabid, Soldier or Shaman stats. Salvage these with black lion salvage kits for a chance to get inscriptions. You’ll probably end up averaging 6 or so runs per inscription, but you’ll also unlock skins and gain ecto’s and dark matter.

Buy the exotic inscriptions of the tp it’s cheaper than the T6

I recently took my weaponsmithing from 425 to 500, and only used around 25 exotics, with almost no refining from 450-475, so I suspect 15 exotics should be about enough.

So basically just finish crafting deldrimor steel ingots and spirit wood until I get everything for the dagger and than potent superior sharpening stones?
