Guild Wars 2

Do you think we would ever be able to get our Jeweler and Cook crafters to 500? Would we ever be able to craft Ascended Jewelries? Anyone heard any news?

Jeweler for sure. There is already a T7 mats that points to that.
Xunlai Electrum Ingot.
If you look up Xunlai Electrum Ingot on TP, it says it is made from silver, gold, platinum, mithril.
Those are Jeweler mats.
The existence of this T7 mat implies 500 Jeweler.

Thanks. So do you think this will happen on the same patch as the ascended armor update, which would happen before the end of this year?

Oh god! No thank you. Enough with the grind already. No need to craft ascended jewels, we have multiple ways to acquire them already. The only reason I can see 500 jeweler is to create legendary trinkets which could be handy for creating new builds.

Cooking and jewel crafting will probably come a few months after armor. They want to keep the feeling of vertical progression, but with a low curve, by stretching everything out over the course of a year, rather than all at once.

I want this so I can use my laurels on obby shards and ant have to make a choice between gear for my alts or obby for legendaries.

Ah…good call. Thanks.

do we need to spend like 200 gold again to reach 500? coz that’s just crap.

I’d die for 500 cooking

JC and Cooking to 500 are long over due.

No matter when they plan to expand crafting, they should have reset all disciplines to 500 max at the same time and reset discovery. Every Exotic I created/create in disciplines that did not receive the higher exp cap were a waste of exp, because I could not earn it.

Raise the cap now, and bring the recipes when they are ready.

Its almost certain that they will raise both to 500 at some point in the future.

The recent gemstore item allowing you to mine copper/silver/gold from your home instance may point to Jeweler.

Thought with all the Ascended trinkets from Fotm, laurel and guild, jewel 500 seems somewhat superfluous other than for sake of uniformity. Now if they are all craftable trinkets due to a 500 cap raise, then surely ascended weapons and armour should be made available through non craft channels that the trinkets are.
