Guild Wars 2

I just came back of over a year absence. I left with all my toons at 400 max crafting. Logging on I see max is 500. no problem I’ll hit this off real quick once I remember how…..I thought

so help me make sure I am on the right track.
1. at lvl 425 everything is grey (i must discover)
2. To discover i need the 2 pieces of mat (NP I have tones of the helm ones I uesd to get to 425)
3. I also need insignis’a (I remember those, 5 of: bolts Gossemer, vials of P blood, Gobs and 20 spools) to buy all on Market 6 Gold, I think.
4. Now discover and repeat with all insiginas (o’ya buy them with karma)

Now I did this once and I got 3 levels. I have to do that 25X? to get my last 75 levels! 150G to buy mats alone. And not that many insignias types to discover with.

Have I Missed Something? please any advice?

Thats basically it. But you get the most EXP from discovering recipies that are not already on your list. These guides have helped my to level my crafting professions quickly. Yes, it is expensive, but ascended gear (craftable at 500) is totally worth it IMO. Good luck!

Ouch. the discovery gets to lvl 450. then 32 more… This really isn’t a quick run!

yeah “quickly” being subjective here :P

That’s a really bad guide to go off of because it’s static and not dynamic. If you want a more fluid one, with prices changing according to the actual market and giving you the cheapest price at all times, try

OOOO that is a good one.

But my main point wasn’t focused on the cost, but more on the crafting itself. Either way I’ll hold on to your link, it could be very useful in the future.

Thanks both of you. gonna plug away at this. Go make some money first

When you get to 450, you open bolts of Damask, Bloodstone bricks, Empyrial Stars, and Dragonite ore.

Do you have any crafting boosters?
How’s your world doing in WvW?

I went from 465 – 500 on tailor discover crafting 4 sets of gear sitting in my boderlands map with a craft booster.
And by sets, I mean all 6 pieces.

At this point, going from 450 to 470 can and probably should be done entirely with ‘refine bloodstone dust to bloodstone brick’, ‘forge bloodstone brick to bloodstone dust’, ‘refine bloodstone dust to bloodstone brick’, etc, etc.

Here’s what I’m doing to get to 500:

400 – 425: Refine T6 mats (e.g. Orichalcum, Ancient Wood)
425 – 450: Discover Exotic recipes (an average of about 8 discoveries are needed)
450 – 475: Refine T7 mats (e.g. Bloodstone Bricks, Deldrimor Steel)
475 – 500: Discover more Exotic recipes (average of about 10 discoveries are needed)
