Guild Wars 2

As I already said it may be worth on top tier becouse you know it is the best and “last” item you will get. So it makes sense they are really expensive.

But, while leveling, I feel it’s a waste to spend 14 more gems on an item that gives you +2 on 2 stats, even more knowing you are gonna change them pretty soon (and maybe even for something crafted from the next tier). Is way better to transmute those 14 gems into 7 gems of the next tier.

Anyway, just my opion not getting mad at all… just guessing I won’t craft any more rare jewelry till the last tier :P….. although… it sold nice on trading post

Then, it’s not worth crafting the tier 2 rare items. They give only +2 on stats but required lots of gems. For example (the stats are the total summing the earring and the gem inside, just as you get it from crafting):

Amethyst Silver Earring (Master): 22 power / 13 vitality. Cost: 12 silver + 1 gem
Amethyst Silver Earring (Rare): 24 power /15 vitality. Cost: 20 silver + 15 gems!!

No way I’m expending 14 more gems just for +2 power and +2 viatily!! ;D

Maybe with top tier it’s worth it, but not on other tiers when you know you are getting better loot soon

Honestly?…. I’m starting to think maybe I did a different tier, I’ll check with tier 3

It’s the same in jewelcrafting. I can make 3 tiers for each gem, but then I can craft a fine and masterwork version of the item.

For example, I can craft one ring twice. Both times with the same materials but one was “fine” and one was “masterwork”…

Hi. First of all I want to thank everyone in advance.

I have noticed that when I craft an item I can get a fine version and a masterwork version of the same item. I think with a hign enough crafting lvl I always get the masterwork version, but I was wondering, how does it work?

For example, I can craft a silver ring that requieres lvl 75 (I’m making up the numbers). the first one I crafted was “fine” and when I crafted the same ring at lvl 150 I got a masterwork version. So I guess I need to have a higher lvl than the required lvl to craft the masterwork version… but, how much higher? is it a fixed number for each item?

Thanks again
