Guild Wars 2: Leveling Crafting Above 400

Apparently all crafting in Guild Wars 2 will be expanded to level 500.  Here's a bit about how it is supposed to work.
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-07-16-guild-wars-2-crafting-rising-from-400-to-500

HOWEVER, right now apparently only the three weapon crafting professions go above 400 right now (October 2013).  That's weapon smith, huntsman and artificer.

Order and Chaos Online: Where to Find Crafting Materials

Where to find the various crafting materials.  General locations, listed by material type.
http://orderandchaosonline.wikia.com/wiki/Materials

Searchable database.  Choose Items, then "Material" and then the type of material (fabric, leather, ore, etc.).  "Consumables" are also hidden under Items.

This map seems to show locations of ores, specifically bronze, marcasite and primal iron.

Help for the Guild Wars 2 Chef

The GW2 Database lists the recipes.
http://www.gw2db.com/recipes/cook

Here is a spreadsheet of all the recipes in the game, courtesy of Keyshana.  It lists recipes and their ingredients plus the level needed to craft the item.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ah5JJtPJfCEzdEw1Mkk1SEZ3UTFsUnc4Q2wwWmhGQ0E#gid=0

The GW2 wiki describes the various ingredients and gives you hints as to what are drops, items you must purchase, the NPCs that sell some things, etc.  Clicking on an ingredient will tell you what recipes it can be used in.

This is a list of ingredients by location.

Flame Temple Tombs (Guild Wars 2)

An unwary player who wanders into this dungeon can get stuck inside the round room at the beginning with no way out.  After 24 hours you can probably teleport out after the game decides you are no longer in combat.

Here is help with the Flame Temple Tombs puzzles.  First, a summary of what's going on.

(Here's a longer version from the GW2 wiki for those who like details.)

Here is a video that outlines the solutions to the puzzles.

Dungeons in Guild Wars 2

There are nine dungeons currently in GW2 (and some that are available during various holiday events only).  You have to be a certain minimal level to enter each.  Each dungeon has a story mode and an explorable mode which you can do after completing the story mode and advancing you level.  It looks like you run dungeons in groups.  Here's more information but once you hit level 25, the game will send you a letter explaining how you will be notified about dungeons that are available to you.
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Dungeon

This guide to dungeons in Guild Wars 2 has a list of eight of the nine (but the guides are finished for only half of them).  There's a map of their locations, but it isn't too clear.
http://guildwars2grandmaster.com/dungeon-guides/

The same website also has a guide to farming dungeons for tokens, which you trade to the dungeon's vendors.
