Guild Wars 2

Hello,

Had a look around Google etc at some crafting questions, was just curious. How much does it actually cost roughly to go the whole nine yards through Trading Post? I’ve seen posts with people saying 40g or so but I don’t. Elieve that at all. I spent 3g going from level 10-13 with weaponsmithing lol :/

In the process of levelling the 2 classes I finally found I enjoyed the most, Mesmer and Guardian. I only get to log in maybe twice a week for a few hours at the moment so I’ve been tagging along in WvW which to be fair got me from 16 to 25 pretty fast. However when no commander is active I can’t be bothered farming hearts after doing it on my engineer.

Tl;dr, cost to buy materials for crafting going from level 20-80? Any good guides out there for what to make etc? Which crafts am I best off doing? Cheers!

^ wow that’s awesome! Thanks for that

You can’t actually get from 1-80 via crafting any more. Originally, when crafting went to 400 for each discipline, you could. When they added ascended crafting, they recalibrated so that, in theory, you could still get to 80 by raising each discipline to 500. However, two disciplines still only go to 400 (jewelery and chef).

Besides that, it is incredibly expensive to level via crafting now and I don’t recommend it. Instead, do some leveling via crafting and find other ways to level that suit your style:

• Chef to 400 — always a bargain.
• Jewelery to 100, 200, 300, or 400 —- not nearly as good a deal, but much better than everything else.
• Artificer to 100, 200, 300, or 400 — there are nearly always some potion recipes that make leveling cheaper for this than the other weapon crafts.
• Everything else to 75-150 or so (depending on market prices) — the lowest level mats are still relatively cheap.

edit: fixed typo — chef is the second prof that doesn’t go to 500, not artificer (although it still is more cost effective to stop leveling past 300/350 or so, unless you need an r500 artificer). Thanks to TechnoBill for pointing out the mistake.

Oh fair enough I guess I’ll do a few to 400 like cooking then go back to lazymode wvw

Artificer most certainly is a level 500 profession.

How else would one make ascended staffs, scepters, etc. ?

Through the very profession that crafts those items is how.

My elementalist artificer is quite upset with your lack of respect.

:-P

If Commanders in WvW on your server are a problem, go to Edge of the Mist. Its popular as a K-train, and you’re more likely to find a Driver at all but the most off-hours.
