You can have all profesions/crafting types on one character, you just pay to switch between them, higher level more silvers :) you dont loose any progress when switching profesion.

I've been playing for years but just now taking crafting seriously. Great primer.

[bakemowo]

I'm very new to Gw2, and I find your videos really helpfull! I really like your format and way of explaining the topics you've covered. Thank you

[bilaliqbal]

man i just love your sense of humour! and your guides are also so useful and concise

[LoganH]

Thanks for the video! One of your recent videos actually got me back into the game, and I was wondering about crafting a day or two ago. I’ve been enjoying being back in the game.

Recently re-joined GW2 after a few dips in it in the past. Never played seriously but now I wanna commit a bit more. With all the stuff out there in the game your vids have been amazing for a fairly new player. Thanks a lot!

I wish you were a voice actor for an Asuran character.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, THIS WAS SO INSANLY COMPLICATED so I never did it, time to go from 0 to 500

Great primer for my return this summer or fall. Again the difference between this content on the channel now vs the dump it all it used to be is night and day. Here is hoping you get to 10 to 15k by the end of 2020 you deserve it for the quality of guide and thoughts and all the effort put into these. Huge thank you again you Global Icon and Brand Ambassador

Thank you for this video, I never knew about the right click on a material while on the Crafting Station menus to go straight to the item on the Trading Post. I've used GW2Craft and GW2Efficiency but I didn't know about the API option on GW2Crafts or the crafting project function on GW2Efficiency.

Really helpful hints!

Thanks for this guide! I'm a new player and I just hit level 80. Looking to level up my crafting 1-500 before getting into exotic and ascended then one day legendaries!

What a novel Idea...knowing how to harvest without having to be taught.

[henfelsen]

OMFG IM SO HAPPY! that you do not lose your previous levels thank you GW2

[wraith]

I just wanted to say I've been on the fence about playing GW2 until I came across your videos. Thanks to you I'm going to get started as soon as possible, well after I watch some more videos and figure out which class I want to start off with.

[Average_Josh]

I love your names for things, wish I could change it in game

[mehranmahdlou]
