Guys, you can also make filigrees in the 25-50 bracket and discover adorned gems by combining the filigrees with different gems. The adorned gems  are used as add-ons (essentially, enchantments) and also later for discovering more powerful jewelry in the 50-75 bracket.

Btw, there is also a sixth gem usable in this bracket - malachite.

Here's a 1-75 guide:

I don't have the option to make filigrees in game and the wiki says you have to be level 50 to make them.

But thanks, I will look at that guide.

EDIT: The comments in the guide say it is out of date.

I had a look at the Asura starting area. Considering their cutesy looks I feared the worst (WoW's gnomes V2.0), but I was pleasantly surprised. They dabble in high tech instead of steampunk (which is covered by the Charr, anyways). And they're arrogant, pompous scientists with a superiority complex which is rather amusing. Also, they get a skill called "Technobabble" which dazes foes. :lol: With their elite skills they can summon golems or an armed power suit.

Ah ok sorry.  :blush:

No worries.  I am slowly getting there, this is as close to grinding as I have had to do so far in the game.  Meanwhile I knocked out about 7-8 levels in Artificer by discovering potions.  That stack of 10 water I bought was the best investment so far.

You are certainly more useful than Martinus.  I've chosen artificer myself but I'm lost - where do I find recipes?  I see the Master Artificer in Destiny's Reach has many but they are 300 (what?  Lvls?) or above.  I'm lvl 14 I think so I make green planks and bronze ingots - must I reach 300 to be able to purchase those recipes?

You can level crafting pretty quick by combining components in the "discovery" tab, thus revealing new recipes. The system is supposedly set up so that you don't have learn all recipes to level to max.

I'm on my phone G. but it involves testing appropriate ingredients in the Discovery panel of the crafting screen.  I will post a better description when I get to a better keyboard if someone hasn't already.

You need to look at your stash of collectibles and move all the appropriate ingredients into your character's bags. Then check out the discovery panel and experiment with different combinations. This gives good crafting xp and further recipes, some of these recipes make components which can be combined in turn to get yet more recipes.

My warrior is learning armour and weaponsmithing though, so I can't comment on artificer specifics. Be warned that a lot of ingredients are required, especially if you are levelling two crafts.

Whats the kb command for *long* jumps?  There's a place in the city where I cannot reach the vista - a circle of colums, trees... most annoying to spend 15 minutes jumping like a moron.  <_<

You need to have a speed buff on for that one. There are many npcs who give it.

Note that for regular crafting you don't have to move them in your bags anymore, and supposedly in the future you won't have to do it for discovery either.

Does anyone have problems with the game crashing when you fast travel to a new area?

I can fast travel via waypoints within an area all day, every time I try and travel to a different area by waypoint the game crashes.

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
