Guild Wars 2

As title says don’t follow guildwars2hub web page crafting guides, it’s a rip-off/scam/bad-deal where they intentionally make you buy wrong items at beginning and you spend nearly 37gold for 0 > 400 for leather-work. They give you the ingredients list, and tell you to buy items from trading post, but what you don’t know, that they set overpriced items so they earn big money from those those who try to use this guide. For example i never buy full igrediants but if i would i would spend 37gold to get from 0 > 400 in leatherwork crafting.

TL;DR don’t use guildwars2hub webpage, they setup Trading Post and make you pay overpriced items from ingredients list!

use:

http://www.gw2crafts.net instead!

Or better yet. Play with patience and collect all the mats yourself then level up the way the devs mosrly intended.

Apart from the required purchases from the masters, crafting from 0-400 for all 7 disciplines cost me virtually nothing. 95% of things that I crafted came out of stores I collected myself. Any time I see people burn vast amounts of gold to quickly get up to 500 I smh amd laugh

Are you implying that buying materials from the tp is “not intended”?

Be careful before accusing people of scams, and trying to make money from their guides. I’ve looked at the guide, and it looks like what you would have expected from a crafting guide a couple of years ago, before people found more cost-efficient means of crafting. It’s also probably based on prices at that time. I wouldn’t be surprised if it were simply out of date.

Technically, even though you collect materials and it seems you didn’t spend anything, you still lose the same amount of gold because you didn’t sell those materials. Gw2crafts still remains the best crafting site out there.

I leveled armorsmithing to lv 500 and i only bought a few t6 mats that i was missing while disco ering some cheep exotics.
that and buy ordering some silk scraps for my ascended armor

j never buy refined mats cause ifs cheeper to buy the raw materials.

and example would be its cheeper to buy 2-3 iron ores than 1 iron ingot….

I never folowed the guides but i did read them just to get some insight on how crafting works.

once i figured out how they work i simply used my own mats as fsr as i could instead buying refined mats from the tp.

Isn’t it weird that only intended ingredients are overpriced, that are on the list?:)

its not scam,its just old article, dec2013 as it said on top of that page,and yeah gw2crafts is best for crafting tutorials because they are updated.

Its not a scam its a common guide people follow. Which means all those things listed are going to be in higher demand because of people like you following it its simply supply and demand.

I made it all back from selling the exotics that I don’t need. Picking the ones to make that leveled my discipline plus made me back a profit is the obvious thing to do. I actually made a pretty nice profit. You also forget the gold I’d be making while out in the world doing stuff. I played the game without a schedule so I made stuff as I had supplies even kf it meant my chars spent a long time I green or rare armour. Most of the exotic armour I used came from karma or dungeons so anything I made turned a profit. Thing is knce you have one lvl 80 char where the first two disciplines take the longest the subsequent ones lvl up at an increased rate because of the access to the higher areas. So when I lvl up a new character that one provides the low lvl stuff while my lvl 80 provides the higher lvl stuff and continued income from dungeons and some limited flipping. When mh seco d char, a ranger, was done I had more than enough supply to get her to 400 leatherworker and huntsman then it was my guardian who made it to armourskith pretty quickly then my thief who is tailor and artificer and my necro who is a chef. All of them were done relatively quickly by that method. Each subsequent character provided low level supplies to feed the next discipline. I made lots of gold and I’ve maxed all the disciplines

Judging from the date of the comments, the guide was made by February 2013 (though may have been modified later). The ascended armour patch didn’t come until December 2013, and that was when the prices of cloth (especially linen. And wool and cotton) shot through the roof.

You are forgetting that when you buy mats from the TP, you are also getting exotics from the crafting. The only profit you get from collecting mats rather than buying them from TP is the TP tax that you are avoiding.

Of course, you are trying to convince me that gathering recourses is more effective than farming the gold to buy the materials, which is not true. Gathering is hardly a good gold source. And since I am making more gold than you are gathering materials, at the end of the day I will have more materials than you.

Gathering can be 7-8 gold per hour. Inferior to the 10g/h of Arah, but comparable to most dungeons.

Of course, you’ll need to set up proper routes. Stumbling randomly will not be a good gold source.
