Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 You can use the Wiki (link above) to find the location, and/or other sources of, any materials in the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mythical.6315 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 I caution against going this route as it’ll cost you more to craft the gear than to just but them off the TP and it will all become obsolete fairly quickly due to how fast you can level in this game. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rasimir.6239 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Going off on a tanget here, but my advice would be not to farm for crafting materials at all. This game is built on the basis of a trading economy where you sell the part of your loot that you don't (currently) need, then use the gold you got to buy those materials you don't have enough from. The idea is to reward all playstyles comparatively and to enable all players to play the content they enjoy rather than feeling the need to grind something specific because it offers a superior income of whatever resource they are after. Farming for specific materials is often an exercise in frustration, especially during leveling. The idea of comparable reward relies on a system where all loot drops have value, and that automatically leads to a system where nobody is self-sufficient (unless they really go out of the way). On top of that, due to down-leveling of characters in lower-level areas, a large part of the loot you drop from enemies and containers will be scaled to your character level rather than the area level. Especially when it come to cloth and leather, materials that you mostly get from salvaging dropped armor, actual drops of tier 1 materials are few and far between once your character goes beyond lvl 15. On the other hand this enables you to just go out and explore the world without having to worry about what materials drop where. Ore and wood can be harvested in the world (in addition to salvaging it from equipment), but since 2nd and 3rd tier materials are much more versatile in use, you're still better off to gather higher-tier materials, sell them on the trading post, then put in a buy-order (or buy now if you are impatient) for the lower-tier materials you currently need for crafting. Coming from more traditional MMOs that focus heavily on self-sufficient resource aquiring, this system may take some time to get used to, but once you do, you will find it gives you a lot more freedom in what and how to play. Instead of endlessly farming specific things, you can really make your own game and play the parts of the game you enjoy, while still getting rewards that enable you to do pretty much anything you want to do, including leveling your crafting professions, and having fun at the same time 🙂 . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You find enough gear that you can use along the way of leveling, as the core campaign is easy and doesn't require the best gear. You can also buy cheap gear each, let's say, 15 levels if you don't find suiting equipment. Once you hit 80, you can worry about maxing out your gear for endgame content. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
