Guild Wars 2

So, heres my problem… When I got my first character to level 80 The first thing I wanted is better gear, so I asked around, and the best option was to farm CoT for wooden charr carvings to buy myself some gear from LA. Is this worth it? Or is there a better option.

In case you need to know, i’m playing a level 80 Charr Warrior, and prefer Power —> Ferocity --> Precision.

For exotic lvl 80 gear with berserker stats, you can (in no particular order):

• craft it yourself – this needs the appropriate crafting discipline at 400 and a range of materials
• find it as drop in the open world – admittedly the most unreliable method
• buy crafted or dropped equipment at the trading post for gold
• buy (non-salvagable) equipment in wvw for badges of honour and gold
• buy (non-salvagable) armor from the grenth temple vendor for karma
• trade with the dungeon vendors in lion’s arch for dungeon tokens from the citadel of flame, the crucible of eternity or the ruined city of arah
• play pvp to earn weapon and armor boxes from the reward tracks corresponding to the dungeons mentioned above

If you are starting out with low resources, a combination of the above is probably your best bet. For example, you could do a single dungeon reward track in pvp for a set of weapons (3 per track) and one piece of armor, then get two more pieces from wvw via badges you picked up in EotM, give your accumulated crafting materials to a friend to craft a fourth piece, and finally buy the remaining two pieces from the trading post.

Check the wiki for a more detailed list of what stat combination equipment can be aquired from what source, and plan accordingly. Good luck!

Just do the 3 paths daily, not worth doing any path twice. CoE and Arah also offers berserker stats gear. Grenth’s temple also has zerk gear(karma), but can’t be salvaged. Fastest way of course would be to buy gear off the TP.
