Guild Wars 2

I’m trying to level up my weapon and armorsmith for the new class coming up. I’m following the crafting guides for them, but I’m having a hard time get the items for this. I don’t have that much gold for I’m trying to gather them will trying completing the world map. Any tips on how to get items quicker or more money to buy them?

If you don’t have the mats already saved up or the gold to buy them, then I wouldn’t worry about trying to craft today (or anytime in the next week). Focus on getting what you need the most of. With weapon and armor, you’ll need a LOT of metal. Weapon will also require a LOT of wood, and armor will require a fair bit of cloth. If you’re only leveling to 400, you’ll only need the tier 1-5 mats, which means you won’t need to worry about collecting orichalcum, ancient wood, or gossamer. So, start chopping down every tree you see, and mining every ore node you see. If you know you need a bunch of iron, look up which zones have iron nodes; do the same for the other tiers of mats you need.

If you want to farm gold, you could do fast dungeon paths every night, if you like dungeons. If you prefer doing more open world pve, you could go to Silverwastes; do events there, kill mobs, do the chest train (once you have enough bandit crests to buy some keys to open the chests). Or, if you have real life money to spend, you could buy gems and convert to gold.

Get to 80 and just sit around doing SIlverwastes for a few hours. I got 3 gold in about 3 hours just from mostly salvaging and selling items I didn’t use. If you don’t have Yellow-named gear at least for your level though, you may suffer a bit in the stat department when you go there.

Since I don’t have a meta build, I don’t do dungeons much because people might auto-kick me for not having an optimal build. I also die in jumping puzzles a lot, a-n-d a-m (This is apparently a naughty word according to the forums) not good at timing, so I also die in fractals a lot (yes, even the default no-scale difficulty.)
