GW2: Going for 1000 gold – Switching crafts: Correction

CORRECTION

It does cost to switch crafts. According to the wiki, it does cost a fee to switch crafts. However, it does not appear to cost to switch crafts at the starting levels. I confirmed this in the game, that’s why I made the mistake. ArenaNet probably did this to make it no-cost to switch to another craft if you decide you don’t like the one you chose.

Unfortunately, I got this wrong in earlier posts. These costs are nominal at the lower levels, but since it’s probably a scaling fee it’s going to add up as you level. With that said, it’s clearly better to have your crafting disciplines on different characters. Save the cash whenever you can.

It might still be good to have several crafts on one character, if you want to level, but I’d advise against this. You’re less likely to want to level a craft twice, so do it on another character from the beginning.
