Guild Wars 2

When and where can I find Trahearne in-game as early as possible? I know Sylvari characters see him at level 20 in the personal story, but does he have an earlier appearance? I’ve made a level 1 character and tried going to find him the instanced area in Fort Trinity, but he doesn’t appear to show up there until you’ve reached a certain point in the story.

So I recently started playing this game a few days ago and have been looking to raise my crafting skills, namely Weaponsmithing and Armorsmithing. I’ve become aware of the guides at gw2craft.com, but find them not as useful because I don’t have the money to straight up buy all the materials.

I’ve seen similar guides at gw2-crafting.com for raising crafting skills from 1-400 that gives a laundry list of all the raw materials I need which I find much more useful because I intend to farm all the materials on my own, but the website itself doesn’t seem to have been updated in a while, at least since around October 2013, so I’m unsure if the guides are up-to-date. Does anyone know if I can still follow those guides for leveling my crafting skills?
