On #1 and #2 : I do not have a better guide, but I have suggestions for lowering the amount spent to gain.

Use the guide as a indication of which way to head, but don’t follow it closely. In particular:
A. Rather than making the armor parts, buy them from the TP when the parts on offer are less expensive than the cost of buying the ore to make them.

This will require a little patience, but many of the parts you will need will be significantly less expensive than their ore cost, because many players are crafting up by making scads of parts and dumping them on the market below cost. Why patience? Because you don’t want to buy immediately at the buy price, but instead want to make an offer. Usually, an offer for these parts is much less than the buy price, but you will have to wait for you offer to get filled. It may take a day, even.

B. Buy already-made insignias from the TP. Again, these are often much less expensive than buying the corresponding materials and making insignias yourself. Buy a few of the cheapest kinds, rather than the ones the guide specifies. The armor you make will not sell for any more than vendor value, and usually less when the TP fees are taken into account, plan to vendor it.

C. Because you are not making the intermediate parts or the insignias, you will have to invent a couple more pieces of armor. Instead of buying 10 insignias, buy 12. Again, make an offer and use patience.

D. When you reach the right levels, spend a little Karma and buy a recipe or two for rare insignias. Buy the materials to make the rare insignias yourself — unlike the fine and masterwork ones, you won’t find rare insignias for sale at less than cost. You should be able to sell the rare armor you make with these for a small profit, and maybe even a moderate one.

sweet. thanks for the advice.

Hello!
so ive been trying to get my crafting up using a guide to streamline the process. ive been using http://www.guildwars2-crafting.com/crafting-guides/armorsmith/ guide for armor smithing. however, i keep hitting about 2 levels under where it says i should be and i dont know what to do.

Long story short, i could use some advice on 2 different things.
1. anyone have a better crafting guide?

2. how can i raise my crafting level a few levels w/o using the level specific mats?

I am a complete noob when it comes to warrior. However, the crit interests me. Where is all this crit coming from?

Fury from FGJ 20%
Blademaster from Arms trait line 10%
Sigil of Accuracy on the Warhorn 5%

is the rest of the crit (up to 98%) from gear? Precision gear, correct?
