Guild Wars 2

So I finally have 40g. I’m told that’s how much you need to boost someone from 1-80.

1. How much time does it take
2. How much gold does it cost.
3. Where is a good guide I can use.

I don’t understand the 1-80 reference since Crafting is 1-400.. but based on your topic posted.. I use the following:
http://www.gw2crafts.net/

I’m to understand that there are 8 crafting professions, and that each gives 10 levels.

Yes, it is possible to get a character from 0 to level 80 by maxing out all of the crafting disciplines.

This might help http://www.gw2crafts.net/ it links directly to the current GW2 economy when calculating material costs so it should give you an accurate idea of how much crafting your way up to level 80 will cost. I would recommend you use the Traditional Guides on this site as they include crafting all components (rather then buying some already made) which will give you maximum experience for levelling. Also, use a crafting XP booster should give you a bit more too.

1. How much time does it take
A few hours
2. How much gold does it cost.
not sure, but more then 40 gold (unless you have a lot of materials ready)
3. Where is a good guide I can use.
