Professions | Crafting Guild Wars 2 Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Every profession has few types of items available to craft, but the base recipe is the same, only the quality of materials changes. For example, weaponsmith may craft safe boxes which increase the space in the inventory, but unavailable to open during trading with merchants. Such box is made of 10 ingots, rune of holding (you can buy from masters) and three dusts. Depending on quality of materials (iron, steel, rune and dust) you can obtain containers with various capacity (8,10, 12 or more). Generally, the recipe may be written like that:
Safe box:
- 10x ingot
- 0-1x rune of holding
- 3x dust
Below you can find a list of items available to craft for every profession. Discovering all subtypes is yours, because its full list will take hundreds pages.
