Guild Wars 2

Hi all,
just trying to gauge the communities thoughts on what the best crafting professions for the Elementalist are. Currently I am a jeweler and artificer, however I’m concerned that I won’t be able to craft legendary/exotic armor at max level (yes I know you can level more than 2 profs, but that’s expensive and time consuming).

Just thought I’d start a conversation about this to hear the communities thoughts. Thanks.

ive been enjoying tailoring, paired it with Artificer but while my tailoring is almost maxed, my artificing isnt..lol

I’ve been finding artificing quite a pain to level mostly due to the sheer # of logs needed to discover everything. I do staff last cause it takes 6 planks to make the shaft, ridiculous!

Basically, i’m thinking of dumping artificer for tailor because it’s a pain to level and I prefer D/D over staff for PvE, so I’d rather be able to make all the endgame armor (6 pieces) over crafting a single staff. I still like jeweler however as you wear 5 pieces from it (2 rings, 2 accessories, and an amulet) and being to craft those instead of buying them will be nice.

Artificer is not hard to level, just avoid making Staffs etc.! http://www.guildwars2crafting.net/crafting-leveling-guides/gw2-artificer-leveling-guide-1-400/ + other sites have some decent tips for it. And while the mats for them are a bit more expensive now, it’s still a fairly cheap craft to max out.

As for me, I went Tailoring + Jewelcrafting.

my ele was a jeweler at first, and I may still end up switching back to it, but as for artificer… yeah its meh…lol

For my elementalist, I went tailoring, artificing. When leveling Artificer, I made tridents the most because they were the cheapest in terms of mats. I also discovered around 80-90% of the potions, which really helped getting it leveled without requiring too many rare ingredients.

Cooking is also a very good profession to have. You can get some excellent buffs from food.
