PLEASE NOTE: Take the HUGE advantage of using Craft Boosters and utilizing the WvWvW Crafting Buffs. The guides were written on “Over Flow” servers, meaning I received no Crafting Bonuses. If you have the WvWvW buff and the Crafting booster, you will NEED to skip a great deal of this guide. Please always remember this is a guide for crafting, and it can only do so much. It will not be perfect for you, critical crafting success makes crafting extremely random.
If your crafting critical rate is %15, that doesn’t always mean you will get 15 critical out of 100. You could get 150 critical crafts in a row or you could have zero critical crafts for 75 crafts. So I can only provide a strong base to help guide you.
Shopping List Notes:YOU CAN ALTER THE SHOPPING LIST, this is JUST a guide but be advised if you change things it can get nasty quick. You have to make sure whatever you substitute is equivalent to what you are replacing. If the Fine Materials/Tier Materials are for level25 you can only substitute level25 Fine Materials/Tier Materials. Sounds confusing? It easily can be haha that is why you should just follow the guide.

Guild Wars 2 Artificer Level 0 to 400 Fast Guide by Dastion

This guide assumes you know the basics of crafting. Material progression, how discoveries work, etc. If you don’t know these things, then thewiki article on crafting would be a good read.

The idea here is to quickly and relatively cheaply level up your Artificing while avoiding “Fine Crafting” materials (enemy drops) which tend to cost a lot on the TP. This gives you the added bonus of crafting cheaper items for more XP and saving those Fine Materials for a different crafting profession or to sell for a profit.

All of the items below have relatively cheap ingredients, allowing you to craft at least 6-8 of them for the price it would take you to do a single discovery involving Fine Materials. What’s more, the Planks, Ingots, or Tuning Crystals can be sold on the TP (Planks/Ingots) or Vendor (Tuning Crystals) for enough to mostly recoup your expense for those materials.

Below is the list of items. Those items colored green will stay the same with each tier. Those colored red will upgrade based on the tier you’re at (i.e. 0 uses Green Wood to make Planks, 75 uses Soft Wood)

–0, 75, 150, 225, 300: Make Planks (Wood), Ingots (Ore), or Tuning Crystals (Discovery: 6 Piles of Dust). Just sell the planks/ingots back on the TP, the tuning crystals actually merchant for nearly cost.

–25, 100, 175, 250, 325: Make Potions of Centaur Slaying, this requires 1x Jug of Water, 1x Carrot, 1x Leather Section 1x Pile of Dust.

–50, 125, 200, 275, 350: You have two options. The best is Potions of Ogre Slaying, it requires 1x Jug of Water, 1x Sage, 1x Pile of Dust, 1xLeather Section, . Alternatively, you can make Potions of Dredge Slaying, this requires 1x Jug of Water, 1x Pile of Dust 1x Current Tier of Ore, 1xLast Tier of Ore. So it starts out with Tin & Copper Ore and progresses.

–390: You’ll run out of potions and such here. Just buy the 375 Carrion Mithril Imbued Inscription from the merchant for Karma and discover 3-4 Combinations to hit 400. Carrion uses Large Bones, easily the most common Fine Material since everything in Orr drops it.
