Guild Wars 2

From the crafting stations,I know its not that far to run, i totally understand.
But when you craft and need to buy 12 cloth, run to TP to pick it up, get back, realise you need 1 more piece , run to tp, pick it up , run back, then are short 3 totems, run to tp, pick it up, run back etc…..it gets a bit irratating…

I was just wondering the reason why the trading post cant be near the bank and crafting stations…

Is there an honest reason apart from the time sink to actually run back and forth across towns for something simple as just buying 1 bit or copper ore?

Go to the Grove, there’s a very short run there from TP to craft stations.

rata sum has everything pretty much together, bank, guild bank, and tp

Thanks guys. Ive been crafting in LA hence this thread.
Silly me for not testing out other towns.
Thanks again.

I found that DR is the best city for crafting. The TP is directly above the crafting area and you simply teleport to the ministers waypoint and you are a hop skip and a jump to the TP. When you got your mats you teleport to the commons and your back where you started.
Because the teleport is so close to each other there seems no loading screen appears. I hope this helps.

The Grove is the best place for crafting because all the crafting stations are in a tight crescent around one another and both the bank and trading post are right nearby. Rata Sum is decent, but if you have two disciplines to work on at the same time, you may need to go from one end of the city to the other. LA is also good because it has the Mystic Forge present, which is required for some things, although there’s more legging it around. Divinity’s Reach, Hoelbrak and the Black Citadel, I never bother with, unless I just happen to end up there for some other reason and have some specific crafting goal I can complete easily (like making a set of higher tier armor right after I qualify to wear it). I’d never go to any of them just to work on crafting. The locations are either spread too far apart or require too much effort to reach.
