Craft

Crafting is creating weapons, armor, or rare materials from common crafting material. Common crafting material is obtained through item drops or through salvaging item drops.

How to craft
Unlike other games, crafting in Guild Wars is not performed by the players. All crafting is done through NPCs. Crafters can be found in every major city, and some outposts, throughout Tyria. A crafter specializes in one of three areas: armor crafting, weapon crafting, or rare material crafting. The first two types of crafters are only found in cities and outposts, with a couple exceptions. Rare material crafters, known as artisans, are only found in explorable areas.



Crafters charge for their services and they don't keep supplies on hand. When you want something crafted you must give the crafter all the material necessary for the crafting and the amount of gold requested to perform the service. For example, Banoit in Ascalon will charge 50 gold, and requires 3 Iron Ingots, to craft a Ringmail Hauberk.
