Hey all,

Recently returned to the game, after thinking I'd quit for good, and would appreciate a refresher on what's possible.

I'd like to level a low level character to 80 through crafting, as I understand it to be the fastest way available.  I'd to also do so by expending the least amount of gold.  According to this site (http://gw2crafts.sal....net/total.html), cooking is the cheapest to level to 400.  Is it possible to max level cooking (or any crafting discipline), unlearn it, max it again, over and over, until I reach 80?

Thank you.

Nope, afraid not. If you want to get to 80 solely through crafting, you'll have to max most disciplines. I've seen it done with 6 max, and the other 2 around 350.

And I was so excited for a while there, thinking this could expedite the process and that I'd be able to afford it.  Thanks for the info.

Yep, unfortunately the quickest way to level takes a wee bit of cash. =/

However, if you're willing to spend a bit more time on leveling, you could do dungeons or farm event chains. There's a few particular chains people like to farm, the centaurs in Kessex Hills starting at the bridge, or the Maw chain in Wayfarer Foothills.

You don't "unlearn" a craft when you change it.  You keep all progress, you just have to pay a fee to swap.  That's why this wouldn't work.

Ah!  I remember that now.  Thanks.
