Guild Wars 2

Artificers! wtf?

I was told to start an alt… awesome alternative. Just killed my plans trying to obtain a certain back piece!!

Artificers make weapons of the magical variety. Back pieces are not weapons. Linking them to armor crafting professions makes more sense.

If you want the ascended version badly enough, suck it up and level one of the armor crafting professions. Buy your gift of blades recipe now and take your time with it.

I didn’t know the “gift of blades” was the actual back piece. I thought it was just a component, I could be mistaken

It is just a component. You need it to make the Tempered Spinal Blades.

Yes i know, it was a little sarcasm on my side. The materials used to make gift of blades for an Armorsmith are also used to make items in Artificing.

You don’t have to start an alt, just another crafting discipline. You keep the progress on any you have to “discard” to start a new one. It’s a bit of a pain and it’s not cheap, but you wouldn’t need to start an alt for it.

Like prevorious backpacks.
Artifacter craft WEAPONS, not trinkets or armor.

You can buy the mats off the TP.

Really Hopeless? That is bad lol. There is not reason for the gift of blade to be an Artificer recipe.

Don’t do it. Keep your crafting disciplines 2 per character, and get another character if you have to.

Artificer, Schmartificer. I want more to craft with my jeweler!
