Crafting and Ascended Items
1) Yes.
2) You only need the specific profession. I have Tailoring at 500; my next highest is 451 or so. I’ve made a coat and skirt for my necromancer and am planning the backpiece once I get 1500 silk scraps.
2a) You can however use the mats crafting to help level another profession. I need 5 each of bricks/ingots/stars and I’ll have my 451 alt make those to get some skillup.
O that clears it up a little. I was thinking parts for the staff need 3 crafting professions but it only need 1 OF the 3, not ALL 3.
Good God…Am I really going to have to save up 500 lurals to get ascended weapons and armor!?!?!?! That is a freaken year’s worth of lurals
