Upgrade weapons ?

Castagere · December 2020

I have four weapons that I would like to upgrade to gold. I just don't know what the cost of doing it would be. I am not a big crafter so I don't have the levels for it. How would I ask for advice or help with this? The weapons are two one-hand swords a great sword and a bow.

If they are not bind on pickup gear, and if you have not equipped the items and bound them, I believe you can hand them off to a crafter to upgrade for you. If they are bound, only you can upgrade them. Any character of any crafting level can upgrade an item, but as you progress crafting, you unlock passives that reduce the upgrade materials needed. Basically, if you are not experienced in crafting, you can still upgrade to gold, but it will cost more materials and thus be more expensive.

This is correct, I strongly advice to level up one caracter to max crafting, recommend the first as in the one you do all the quests and skyshards on.
You do want to upgrade weapons to gold and this will be very expensive without maxing out the tempering expertise, last skill in blacksmithing, tailoring, woodworking and jevelery.
You have to upgrade dungeon and trial gear yourself.

Simply deconstruct anything intricate you get and you get up to level 50 fast.

Its only 9 skill points to get the resins expertise for woodworking, clothing, and blacksmithing. Its worth it

If you're still a low lvl character (below lvl 810) dont upgrade to gold. the weapon will be trash as soon as you hit lvl 50 and beyond, the materials will be wasted.

Do what you want, and makes you happy of course, the above is just advice.

Uh .. just a little correction. 'below lvl 810' should rather be 'below cp160' - since cp160 is the maximum level on any gear / item. I assume you meant cp810 which is the maximum cp a char can distribute, but this does not affect gear which is capped out at cp160 already.
