Guild Wars 2

I’ve been playing on and off since lauch. Currently I’m level 400 in cooking and artificing and level 500 in tailoring.

I’ve found it fun using the discovery panel to find things but ultimately I’ve leveled these disiplines as efficiently as possible to get a legendary.

But what is the point of crafting in the game if not to craft legendary or ascended items? Am I missing something? Is it just there for fun or is there some other practicality that I’m missing? Perhaps there’s a way to make money crafting items?

Any item worth crafting I’ve found cheaper on the TP. So usually I just buy it there.

There is plenty of profit in crafting.

There is now, at any rate. Initially with everyone being a crafter, it was rather pointless except as a means of turning your gathered materials into gear for yourself. Basically buying it with sweat equity. Nowadays, inflation (true inflation, mind you) and a general lack of patience all around is making this more viable as a money-maker.

The wardrobe has extended the use of lower-level crafting as filler material, and it’s still a good means of supplying your alts with level-appropriate gear.

i made over 400g profit crafting stuff that is needed for the new collection achievements in the last 2 days.

well it used to be the easier way to level up…. but now, heh …heh heh… HAHAHA
