This is an odd question, but I was curious if anyone knows of any other game any type whether MMORPG, ARPG, ect. that has more crafting materials than GW 2?

One of the things I love most about this game is how extensive the material list is and the variety of materials. If there is another game that has more, I doubt they have icons or pictures as memorable as these. I can remember the picture for pretty much every material/item.

I haven’t counted, but I’d bet Skyrim has oodles more.

Guild Wars 2 is actually rather simplistic, crafting wise. If you ever want to check out complicated, read up on EVE online crafting or Star Wars Galaxies crafting.

GW2 has probably the most materials as far as craftings goes.

The crafting itself is simple, but the sheer amount of different materials is very annoying.

But yeah Eve online probably has the most complex crafting system of all MMOs.
As well as lacking any sort of item binding so every item in the game is tradable which is really cool.

Except, this also means that you can loose the items you just spent half a year building and payed what looks like 50000$ irl money to build… just saying…

Well Eve punishes fools more so than other games thats true.
Still, nobody forces you to be an idiot.

You cant control who attacks you… you cant control who attacks your cooperation… you cant help being new at the game… and its not your fault you have to spend such stupid amounts of money and time on the game… id have to conclude from what you just said that playing eve makes you an idiot xD

I honestly don’t think GW2 has more crafting materials than SWG had… everything there was craftable (and for the most part DID NOT DROP), and every item had its own material requirement (vegetables/grains/fibres/metals/skins/bone/meat/minerals) and every material had its own stats. You had zillions of types of copper alone, each with entirely unique stats. Since those stats determined the quality of the outcome, they mattered a lot. (Incidentally: which resources could be harvested, where they could be harvested and what stats those resources had, changed EVERY two weeks… resource hunting was a game of its own).

EVE Online has fewer different materials, true, but then it DOES have an incredible amount of subcomponents, halfproducts etc.

Evil husband tells me Everquest 2 has/had a very intricate system too, but I never played it, so you’d have to look it up.

Nothing will ever rival SWG’s crafting system.

There was: Metal, minerals, meats, vegetables, grains, skins, bones, enhancers, and probably some i’m missing.

Metal alone has steel, and copper and iron, and aluminum and every metal you could imagine.

Then on top of that the mats all had stats with 8-10 different stat categories. Cheap mats were used to mass produce disposable items, while the very rare high quality metal was only used in custom made weapons with enhancers.

There was a time when I was a carbineer/ranger that doctors would hire me to track and hunt birds for avian meat which was used in high quality buffs. I would be paid a per pound amount and a tracking fee.

GW2 is mostly like a child’s ball pit by comparison.
