Guild Wars 2

Well, I looked at Legendaries before and decided I’d go for Frostfang/Kamohoali’i Kotaki; then I looked at Crafting and thought: “this is insane”, mainly due to the amount of requirements it needs in total for a player, totally oblivious to crafting like my self, to cough up… I’m not sure about you guys, but it looks like a lot-something YouTubers don’t mention about when talking over Legendaries: how easy it is to Craft up to Level 400.

I mean, as much as I’d like a Legendary, I find it doable (especially since I currently have the Underwater legendary Precurser on my Necro) without considering Crafting. It might just be me though with having no long term experience with it what-so-ever.

I’d like some opinions on how easy it is to Craft up to level 400 on different Crafting Professions and if it is one of the hardest aspects to complete (in terms of crafting Legendaries) when at Level 0, bearing in mind there are two Professions needed in the Legendary Crafting process!

Also, if you can, list the most difficult/expensive Crafting Professions to level from 0-400 and the most easiest/quickest/cheapest, please! It would be extremely helpful!

Thanks!
I’ll appreciate any replies that are helpful!!!

P.S: apologies if a Thread similar to this has already passed

Things have changed a lot over the last few months with ascended crafting. I had brought all of my crafts up to 400 almost a year ago, when things were much cheaper. I used the guides on gw2crafts.com and that sort of thing.

I think now, the armor crafts are super expensive to level because of ascended armor. Cooking has always been fairly cheap, and artificer becomes cheap because of all of the potions and non-weapons you can make. The rest are all still fairly expensive though. I recommend using a guide that shows you the cheapest way, or easiest if you prefer easy to cheap.

Hope this helps, even just a smidge

It did! Thank you!

Hopefully I can add to it with other replies!

As a crafting guide, use http://www.gw2crafts.net/

The weapon and armor crafting professions are pretty straitforward and more or less the same.

Cooking is something completely different but not as expensive and jewelling is something inbetween, even though those 2 professions might get more expensive in march when we will be able to raise them to 500.

If you cant bear leveling your crafts, just sell all your materials and start farming gold to buy your leggie off the tp. You will pay a premium for the account bound currencies that go into a leggie (karma, skillpoints, dungeon tokens etc.) but you will save on leveling your crafting and dont have to do world exploration, if you havent done it yet.
