Make Or Find A Weapon?

is it better to make your own weapon or do you need to find a good one

 

As I always say, "Find has less grind". (jk I don't) But you should find items.

Making items requires professions, and they're super grindy

 

so is it better in the long term to make them or can you find weapons that are good because the weapons i find are trash

 

Maybe in the endgame, you can buy crafted items, because they're pretty good, but if you're a beginner/middle, I would suggest finding items. Remember, the health that the item gives isn't the only benefit.

 

Use found items until your rich enough to buy a gxp set or a crap tonne of scrap. The durability will decrease way too fast to be comfortable with.

 

Weapons and armor intended for combat that were crafted are almost always to grindy to make and having almost no significant advantage over noncrafted one. I can even say it's worst because the durability. You can see that a large percentage of endgame builds use noncrafted items. Some may use crafteds but those guys are... well... they will do anything for 20 more damage.
