This is the third of my crafting guides. This guide will take you from 0-400 in 2.2 gp.
Although there are many guides on the web that are very similar to this one in function (but not form), I’m still making it. I’m working on 100% guide completion. That’s an achievement, right?
Note: I’m getting reports that people need to make 5 rare weapons at 375-400 rather than the 3 listed in the guide. This could be a problem with the guide, a lack of luck with the RNG. The total cost should be about the same, as you’ll break even making T5 rare weapons. If you’re just using this guide to level an alt, you probably don’t need to finish the last bit.
Shopping List & Costs
As part of the list below, you’ll need to purchase 45 Tier 5 Fine Crafting Materials. You’ll have to select which one of those to buy based on prevailing market conditions (see instructions for more information). You’ll also need to buy a Mithril Imbued Inscription from the Master Artificer vendor for 672 Karma.
The last three items you’ll make are Level 80 rare weapons. These will typically sell for about 30 silver on the TP, but if there is an upswell in supply the prices will fall, rapidly. Instead of selling them on the TP, you can salvage them with a Black Lion Salvage Kit (or a master’s kit if you don’t have one) and get somewhere between 0 and 9 Glob’s of Ectoplasm (with an average of about 2). The choice is yours. You can also view current prices using a live updating google spreadsheet created by a MassMediocrity (quick note, the google spreadsheet only lists costs, you can expect about 2.2g of items to sell).
Instructions
All but Tier 5 is repetitive and very quick. For T5, specifically for 375-400, you’ll need to craft 3 different rare weapons using an imbued mithril inscription and each inscription requires 15 Tier 5 Fine Crafting Materials. The costs on Tier 5 Fine Crafting Materials vary with supply and demand so pick the cheapest one.
Tier 5 Fine Crafting Materials and corresponding Inscription:
- Large Bone - Carrion Inscription
- Large Claw - Explorer’s Inscription
- Large Fang - Valkyrie Inscription
- Large Scale - Knight’s Inscription
- Intricate Totem - Cleric’s Inscription
- Potent Venom Sac - Rampager’s Inscription
