Guild Wars 2

Anyone have an efficient way of obtaining Jute scraps?

My tailoring skill is seriously lagging behind my jeweling skill because I almost never get Jute, it’s expensive in the black market, at least for a newer player like me, and I’m not exactly tripping over salvageable equipment.

Is there a better way to get more Jute? Or am I just going to have to slog through the first 75 crafting levels?

Farming the bandits in Queensdale on a low level char is your best bet, or farming on a higher level char and selling what you get in order to buy what you want.

Pretty much along that line is all there is.

Have you looked into buying the lowest level (tiny) containers (loot bags)? They have scraps and fine items that are also needed for T1 crafting (or can be sold).

I have no clue what they are going for on the BLTP, but nothing in them is required for Ascended gear, so there is no reason they would be in high demand for end game crafting. Note that those T1 materials can be cheaply promoted, so my theory on how inexpensive they may be is possibly flawed…..

If you have the bag space and karma you can find a heart vendor then sells low level light gear. Perferberly gloves. Throw four into the mystic forge for one that you can salveg into scraps.

49 karma ea (LVL 13 gloves)

Might want to try 4 first just to be sure they are Forgeable (they should be, but it would suck to buy 400 and find out they weren’t).

Note that once you craft out of Jute, you will have no reason to ever want this raw material again (short of promoting to Wool or crafting items for another character).

Now that I say that, I recall that promoting Bolts of Jute to Wool has been very profitable in the past (skill points to gold conversion wise). No idea if it still is.
