How Does Tailor Work In Guild Wars 2 And How To Profit From It

There are many ways to make money in GW2, tailor is one of them, so how does Tailor work in Guild Wars 2 and how to profit from it? A tailor crafts light armor pieces (which can be worn by elementalists, mesmers, and necromancers), as well as inventory bags and runes. Now, since Guild Wars 2 only allows you to practice 2 crafting disciplines at a time, one should know about the NPCs that can make you a tailor for a humble fee (10 bronze coins). The list is as follows:

Giita (Lion’s Arch)

Rikkta (Rata Sum)

Iriun (The Grove)

Braugh Steelfoot (The Black Citadel)

Yaladen (Caledon Forest)

Hyasinth (Divinity’s Reach)

You can start crafting any time you want but since most of the materials become useful after level 10, it’s better that you keep gathering the materials first and then start crafting later to create more items in lesser time.

Shoulders

Unlike most other armor pieces, shoulders cannot be worn until level 20, and therefore have no (Simple) variant. The general Tailor recipe for shoulders is: Shoulders = 1 Epaulet Panel + 1 Epaulet Padding + 1 Insignia.

Helms

Unlike most other armor pieces, crafted helms cannot be worn until level 15, and therefore have no (Simple) variant. The general Tailor recipe for a helm is: Helm = 1 Headpiece Strap + 1 Headpiece Padding + 1 Insignia.

Guild Wars 2 – Basic Formula for Crafting

It’s important in any crafting discipline that one should know about the raw materials so that even on random, useful materials can be attained. Overall, being a tailor, the following formula should work for you: Crafted Item = Leather Component + Piece of Cloth + Insignia+ Trophy

Different Insignias with the same crafting materials can get you three types of armor; The (Simple), The Rugular and The (Master Piece). Depending on the type of Insignia used, the effectiveness increases from (Simple) to (Master). For example, if it’s a Mighty Embroidered Coat, the (Master Piece will have the highest power with Regular coming in second place.

Guild Wars 2 – Tailor Crafting Recipes

A good way to make Guild Wars 2 gold fast by tailor is to craft materials, you can either follow certain recipes, or you can mix materials at your own will to create some. To me, it’s better to follow different recipes rather than using the same over and over again to level up faster.
