Guild Wars 2

I’m trying to get into armorsmithing and weaponsmithing but it’s hard trying to get materials because I don’t know what enemies drop what material. So is there like an enemy guide in game or something?

thanks.

The wiki

In game, you can type:
/wiki [item]

You can also ctrl-click the item (after the “/wiki” command) and press enter and look it up that way.

Some articles are thorough about sources, including farms. Some list the locations/foes, but don’t give any hints about efficient gathering. And, like any crowd-sourced encyclopedia, some articles are sparse.

Good luck.
