Guide to Crafting: Huntsman 1-75

GW2 Guide to Crafting: Huntsman 1-75

By: DjThunder | Crafting,Huntsman

The huntsman crafting discipline provides players with a means of crafting ranged weapons. Longbows, shortbows, harpoons and more can be made with this discipline, and these will be useful for most of the professions in the game (Elementalists cannot use any of the created items). As with any crafting discipline, you are going to need a good amount of materials either through farming or through purchasing on the Trading Post.

While it is possible to start crafting earlier if you plan on using some of the items you make, they all begin at level 10. If you begin at that point, it will give you a significant amount of time to store up materials, making it quicker to level up the discipline.
All values given are approximations as you may get lucky with critical successes. These values can also be increased through the use of crafting boost items found in the gem store.
You will need:

• 200 Copper Ore
• 20 Lumps of Tin (purchased from the huntsman trainer)
• 300 Green Wood Logs
• 50 Rawhide Leather Scraps
• 30 Tiny Totems
• 30 Tiny Claws
• 30 Tiny Scales
• 30 Tiny Venom Sacs
• 30 Vials of Weak Blood
• 30 Bone Chips

Levels 1-25
Refine all the various materials:

• Copper Ore to Copper Ingots
• Green Wood Logs to Green Wood Planks
• Rawhide Leather Scraps to Rawhide Leather Squares

Once you hit crafting level 25, you will no longer gain experience from refinements.
Levels 25-50
At this level, you will begin making items. A few levels will be gained from crafting the individual parts, but the majority will be gained through the use of the discovery system.
Craft 36 Green Wood Dowels

• 6 Malign Green Inscriptions
• 6 Mighty Green Inscriptions
• 6 Vital Green Inscriptions
• 6 Healing Green Inscriptions
• 6 Precise Green Inscriptions
• 6 Resilient Green Inscriptions

Craft the following components:

• 6 Bronze Pistol Barrels
• 6 Green Pistol Frames
• 6 Green Shortbow Staves
• 6 Rawhide Strings
• 6 Green Harpoons
• 6 Green Rifle Stocks

On the discovery pane, you will now began combining the components to discover the new recipes. Inventory quickly becomes an issue, so either sell the items or use a salvage kit to break them down and recover some of the materials.
Levels 50-75
If you are within a few levels of 50, you can continue on with this section. The same rules apply as in the previous level range: craft your components, and then discover the recipes. Master level items can be crafted starting at level 50, and while they do require more materials, they will grant a significant amount of crafting experience.
Craft the following components:

• 6 Green Rifle Stocks
• 6 Bronze Rifle Barrels
• 6 Green Torch Handles
• 6 Bronze Torch Heads
• 6 Bronze Horns
• 6 Bronze Warhorn Mouthpieces
• 6 Longbow Staves
• 6 Rawhide Strings

Like before, use each of the components in the discovery pane and discover each of the recipes.
At this point, either craft more of each item to reach 75 or make green master items to reach that level. You will most likely need 6 to 8 master items to reach level 75, so make the necessary components and use discovery. You will now have access to the next level of crafting materials (Iron Ore, Soft Wood, etc)
Level Experience
You will gain a good amount of experience towards your character level each time your crafting level increases. Expect to gain around 2-3 levels worth of character level upon reaching level 75 in the huntsman crafting discipline.
