Hi there!

I was wondering what the current cost of levelling Armorsmithing from 1-500 was. I know that back around September it was a ridiculous amount in excess of 100g, but have heard that it’s now around a more reasonable (but still high) 20g. Is this true?

Thanks!

http://www.gw2crafts.net/ makes it very easy to check how much it would cost to level a particular profession.

20g is for 400 not 500. Then it is around another 100g to get from 400 to 500. However that all assumes you are buying everything at current prices. You can go gather a lot of the materials yourself, especially for armorsmithing. You could also use buy orders and wait a bit(shouldn’t be longer than a day unless you set your buy orders too low).

If you are not in a hurry and don’t mind leveling from 400 to 500 for some time, you can actually earn money in progress. Tho it is small amount. Even if buying everything from TP.

With the cost of ore, it may be cheaper to farm them than buy them from the TP. When I say cheaper I am referring to farming them directly vs farming the gold for them.

Thanks for the replies!

With the crazy prices, I don’t think I’m going to bother going for Ascended Armor/Weapons through crafting – at least for a while.

Thanks again!

The weapons are worth doing but not the armor.

But doesn’t weaponsmithing cost more for a smaller stat boost?

The stat boost is pretty ‘meh’ for both but weapons get a significant increase to weapon strength. Armor gets a similar boost to defense but unless you were having survival issues before it won’t make a difference.

I’d still say it’s only worth it if you need the Agony Resistance slots for Fractals level 40+

I’d also recommend using GW2crafts.net until level 350, then refine Mithril (will need it for Deldrimor Ingots) and at 400 refine Orichalcum or Gossemar or Ancient Wood since it sells slightly below it’s non-refined counterpart (gw2crafts.net calculates the cheapest and then generates the sell-back) until 425. Then you’re stuck to some normal level until 450. From there on I refined the materials I needed for the Ascended gear and daily for a bit of profit, now all I have left is 475-500, which I’ll do once the Berserker changes are here and I’ve decided between Mesmer, Elementalist or Guardian for main. It hardly cost me any money just to level the craft, simply patience.
