Professions

Ok so I got my weapon making up to 22 and I was trying to open up somemore slots and I can't seem to get the weapon made at rank 3 I have plenty of mithril items that give 40% quality and I used as many as I could and didn't get it do I need at least one legendary item to reach rank 3?

No. You need to make sure the item you are crafting can even be crafted up to level 3 as not all items can be. Even with all epic tools your success rate is only 60%, so it is possible to have multiple fails before you get a success.

My question on Professions: Is there any in-game tool tip that tells you what Profession will make what weapons/armor/implements?

I've been exploring the game for about three weeks now, and finally have enough of a grasp on the mechanics of the game that I'm starting to explore the Professions/Crafting.

I Main a Drow SW, and am sitting at a (relatively) comfortable lvl36. But when I hit max level, I'd like to be able to craft my own Armor and Implements so that I don't have to rely on monster drops, and possibly even increase my own created gear to Purple/Gold quality levels.

(Disclaimer: Since I'm so new, I don't know what the top-tier quality color/level is. I assume Purple/Gold, but that's only due to my previous experiences with crafting in other MMORPG's)

Other than figuring out Professions, I feel I have a good grasp on the game at this point, but I'd definitely like to delve into the crafting some more.

Any advice/assistance from more knowledgeable Players would be much appreciated.

weapons and armor drops will surpass armor that can be made except for master craft. Concentrate on Leadership-will make refinement items at lvel 21 plus. Try to open profession slots as quickly as possible. Making 300+ resonance stones(bags) doing professions 2 times a day per character.

I see. Thank you for the input, that will be good to keep in mind.

It's worth burning through a few like Jewel crafting first, to help you open up the full amount of slots.

Believe me when I say that you do NOT want to be growing Leadership without the full 9 profession slots.

Alchemy can be very useful, though it has a different method for leveling that you can take advantage of if you have spare AD to buy the potions needed to level up.

Jewelcrafting ultimately allows you to make double slotted rings belts and necklaces that are Bound to Character but can be used on that character's companions.
Its probably also worth leveling whichever weapon based profession skill your character will need. It now allows you to craft the Elemental Evil Artifact Weapon sets.

While the armour professions might not let you create armour that's any good, they do grant Armour Reinforcement kits that are very useful.

You can also sell kits on the AH for fairly decent returns (depending on the economy at the time).

When you first start on Leadership you'll be all... "this isn't so bad... Level 10 and it took no time at all.." but it does not stay that way. You can speed things up a little by bankrolling Purple assets, but unless you have a lot of spare AD, just accept that it will be a HAMSTER to grind out.

Once you get there however, its worth it.

Yep I have Leadership maxed on all 7 characters and I always do it as the 4th profession after I've opened up all slots.

Good to know.

Well I went with weapon crafting first everything is maxed out including the master crafting. Now I see that it opened up stronghold weapons are these artifact weapons on par with the new dlc weapons or more like the elemental weapons? I also noticed that I can't craft weapons for cw or sw and since I have 3 characters 2 being cw and sw lol I am really frustrated with this!!!

SW, CW and DC weapons are in Artificing. Artificing is one of the fastest to level because the gather/craft tasks never go above 6 hours, unlike the others that go up to 8. With a few purple artificers, you can run them in 4 hours and may be able to get multiple per day.

Ok so about the quality of the weapons they on par with the new dlc weapons or more like the elemental weapons?

Realistically, The best weapons you can make are the elemental weapons, burning, drowned, etc. There are some changes next mod in Mastercrafting, but for now.
