Guild Wars 2

As far as weapon and armor upgrades for the lower levels (lvl 10 right now)
is it best to craft the stuff, buy it from vendors or will there be quest rewards/drops i would be getting soon?
i picked armorsmith as one of my crafting choices but still learning the ins and outs of it.

Ok, so i am leaning to one of the server but one more thing to throw out there, my main playing times are in the mornings into afternoon EST. (say 830am-3pm ish)
othere than an EU server, out of BG and SOR where will i find more people for dungons, groups and WvW and things of that nature?

And thanks everyone who has responed

Somthing to add, not sure if it makes a much of a difference or not but….i am very new to the game, so would like a server where the people are willing to help out a noob from time to time, also right now i have a guardian and warrior that are both lvl 6, and they are my highest ones, and its looking like i will be going with the guardian as my first main.

Looking for opinions on which of these 2 servers to move from, i have seen positive stuff on both and would like to hear what others are thinking.

My main interests are going to be WvW and PVE.

Fire Opal, what server is your guild located on?

Hello, I am new to the game, as of about 2 days.
Looking for a PVE and possibly WvW guild. As of now my highest level is a lvl 6 warrior, but am looking into other classes to see what one i will end up liking.

Would like to find a NA guild. Willing to start on a new server,(on madness now)

I have been reading up on the mechanics of the game and of the classes i am interested in but i have a lot of questions and am in dire need of help LOL.

My play times vary through the day esp due to working night shift 3 days a week. Most of the times will be morning times into afternoon EST.

Thanks in advance for any info any of you may leave!
