Thread: The difficulty of Armormsmith vs. other crafting professions
You get used to it after a while.
It is more complicated than architect in the sense you have to experiment a lot more with components, ie layers.
Armorsmith is by far the most difficult advanced crafting profession. I dare any weaponsmith to disagree, I've done both.
The difficulty with WS is that you have to have best resources that have EVER spawned on the server to make the best weapons.
Look on the bright side. If you have lots of money and resourcesarmorsmith isone of the quickest professions to grind.
I'd say weaponsmith is the most difficult in practice. The grind is long, the resources rare. It's a relatively easy profession to learn though. Generally speaking it's all about damage doesn't leave alot of room for much else.
Armorsmith, the resources are a little bit easier to come by... except for bone and hide. But even that is better, composite doesn't use a specific planetary hide. So you've generally got 7 tries a week to get a good resource shift. The grind is much easier and goes quicker than weaponsmith also. And there is more depth I believe to the profession in terms of crafting. It's not a profession that someone picks up as quickly as they can weaponsmithing. It can't be understated it's by far the easiest of the elite crafting grinds....
There is more money in armorsmithing.
