Guild Wars 2

So I got a real brief question here; as of the latest patches, what crafting profession(s) are the best for use in power leveling, and where can I find a good guide to using them?

A quick Google search netted me some results, but they were somewhat out of date so I figured it best to hop on here and ask before I invest too much gold :S

I appreciate any suggestions!

Lets narrow this down.

Necro: Fast until level 20.
Engineer: Pfft…whats an engineer?
Warrior: Fast until…fast until 80
Guardian: Fast all the way to max again
Elementalist: Slow until 30, then quicker
Mesmer: Craft your way to 40, then it’s smooth sailing
Thief: Pretty average all the way to 80, on the quick side.
Ranger: Fast leveling as far as PvE goes.

Sorry I edited the post, I meant crafting professions. I still think in WoW terms :S

Whenever I use crafting to get myself some quick levels, I consult the dynamic guide that Xanthic created. It uses the gw2spidy data to tell you what’s better to craft versus buy outright for each and every craft. Artificer (potions), Chef, and Jeweler tend to be cheaper in general. Check the guides out at http://www.gw2crafts.net/.

That being said, the mid-tier material markets right now are pretty awful if you’re looking to craft your way from 0-80 straight.

Jeweler.
