Can you guys help me with an idea. Now to gear my druid I need mostly harrier stat gear fully. To buy the ascended crafting recipes for it I need to buy them from the broker right they cost around 180gold each. Which is a shit ton. BUT I already have the ascended recipes for berserker from gearing my soulbeast.
The single best way to get ascended trinkets is through the Living World maps. All Season 3 maps and some Season 4 and 5 maps have a unique farmable currency that can be used to buy stat-selectable ascended trinkets. If you play PvP or WvW, you can also get the map currencies from the appropriate reward tracks.
Aside from using items such as Tomes of Knowledge, level 80 booster, etc., crafting is the fastest way to level a character. For your first character, just level through the story and various episodes while gathering mats. Fast leveling through crafting are often done for alts.

Level up your weapon and armor smith and start crafting the daily ascended mats. Trinkets are easy enough to get, with laurels, guild commendations. For the back pack I found Sirens Landing to be quickest providing you have Season 3. The easiest amulet to get is from the guy in the hut after completing "The Hunger" achievement in Bjora marches.
