GW2 Crafting Guides

[Rhia Aryx]

I have a feeling we're going to have a lot of crafting guide posts, so might as well start a forum for them.

I found this one (on reddit, yay): Jerich's Guild Wars 2 Crafting Guide. Some of it is a bit tl;dr of common knowledge, but there's a nice chart about usefulness of crafting disciplines for each profession as well as mat synergy. The bit about market values may not be relevant after launch, but it looks like this is a WIP so hopefully he'll update as needed

Thanks for sharing! I am completely ignorant when it comes to GW2 crafting, so I'll probably take the next couple of days and go through this guide thoroughly so I know what I'm doing on Saturday.

That's about how long it will take.

I've been searching for ages for something like this! THANK YOUUU!

A nice simple chart clearly representing the evolution of crafting through the levels

For the guide it looks really helpful will give it a read even though I am fairly comfortable with crafting I think I will discover things I didn't know.

This guide. I want it in me.

This is arousing, no lie.

Wow, this guide is awesome!
I was still completely indifferent to crafting a few hours ago, but now I'm really looking forward to experimenting with the discovery process, ^^

Once you discover a recipe does it unlock for all of your characters or just the one discovered it?

 

[TIG]

just the one who discovered it

That is a fantastic looking guide. I love graphs...

I stumbled across these guides yesterday. A little more "hold your hand" than the OP's guide.... but when your only interest in something such as Artificer is to... max it, hitch up your belt, strut your stuff, and say "That's right, ladies... Another craft mastered." It gets the job done. =D

And as a bonus! http://www.guildwarsinsider.com/krewe-guide-level-1-15-karma-vendors/ while not truly crafting but rather nice. I'm hoping a better/more expansive spreadsheet will arrive later so I can use it as a quick reference. I really don't want to remember what karma vender sells bulk walnuts...
