Guild Wars 2

hey i was wondering what the fastest way to level weaponsmithing ?… i tried farming mats while leveling and salvaging items i dont need and it still wasnt enough to level my crafting from 1 – 50 i ended up spending like 2 gold ( not much but thats all i had at 33 ). was wondering …

1 – whats the fastest way to level a prof without buying the mats.
2 – is is even worth leveling the prof while leveling up to 80 ?.

Well I’m also currently working on weaponsmithing (its around 200) on my level 52 thief and I already got 400 artificer. What I can say is that 1) I mean technically I guess it would be to find a guild and have them give the mats to you, otherwise farm them, and 2) Define ‘worth’. I found it ‘worth’ it to get 400 artificer because of the 10 levels I got in ~1-2 hours. Now although I did not make any money, I found that it was “worth” it because I got to level 80 much faster than otherwise.

i see, by " worth " i ment is it benifical to try get (for example: level 35 rare daggers) if id probs replace them in a few levels. of course at 80 its worth having it so u can get new weapons as soon as you ding. just findinf it abit annoying spending hours and hours farming ore for only 10 crafting levels i found a website for some kid of crafting guide and apparently i need 500 copper ignites for 1 – 50

Well I would then say no it is not worth it as you can easily just buy whatever weapons you need from the TP for only ~2-3s at most.

If your only interest in crafting is to keep yourself equipped then don’t bother and just buy whatever you want for a tiny fraction of what you would have spent trying to buy mats and craft it yourself.

Hard lesson I recently learned.
