Guild Wars 2

I know this is a stupid question so if you want to leave a sarcastic comment , please feel free to move on and pretend u never saw this .. i’m quite new at the game but with recent experience in mmo’s i know if i want to be able to craft a legendary item i can start collecting resources from a low level and gather gold etc. i guess my question is , i’m leveling a ranger for its elite spec , i want to heal .. but i know they use staves what crafting profession do i level to be able to make “The Nevermore” Legendary staff when it comes out ? … i tried to google it and stuff but there’s not a lot of info on it since its not out yet … i know artificers make staves but i just wanna make sure and is there any crafting profession that goes well with artificer ? (if that’s the profession i need). thanks alot in advance

Artificers do indeed make staves so you need that for Nevermore. You will nees other weapoms too. Rangers use both huntsman and weaponsmith things. Choose one of those or Leatherwork ro make armor.

There’s going to be a lot more involved in any legendary than crafting, so I wouldn’t stress over it.

The bottleneck is going to be gold, and barring a crazy-lucky rare precursor drop, you’ll need to work for a while getting all the mats(/the money to buy them) after you hit cap. Before you hit 80, you won’t be able to do most of the highly-profitable stuff, so the best thing you can do is probably level.

Levelling a craft skill is a fairly easy and quick way to get xp, but also a relatively expensive one… remember, every mat you use levelling is (a fraction of a) gold you didn’t make, and almost nothing crafted will sell for appreciably more than the mats.

I’m aware that makes it sound like a joyless process. I can’t actually in good conscience recommend making what I describe above your guiding philosophy. That’s just the best advice I know for making a beeline from start to legendaries.

Thanks to both of you very much appreciated .. saved another noob for doing things the wrong way xD … i know now what crafting professions to take .. and i know now it’ll be better to level as fast as possible then concentrate on legendary’s. thanks again ^ ^

Good luck!

Also FYI, when you unlock Druid it gives you an Exotic-rarity staff, and unlocks a collection that (with time and work) eventually gets you an Ascended-rarity one. (This is the case with all elite specs, with their respective new weapon.) You won’t have to worry about keeping one around for eventual use.

If you find one you like the look of, though, especially if it’s not too valuable on the market, consider equipping/salvaging/adding it to your wardrobe. You won’t be able to resell it on the market, but that way you can use the look later with a transmutation charge and you don’t have to have it cluttering up your bank.
