In Guild Wars 2 there are a total of eight crafting disciplines, of which you can learn two at any given
time. Since each craft specializes in making a particular item type, it is recommended that you choose
one that benefits your character. Even if you only seek profits, each discipline crafts helpful gear that
spans the entirety of the leveling experience and endgame, so depending on market conditions you can
bring invaluable items to others and earn some coin in the process.
