Guild Wars 2

filter->consumable->food = nothing but vendor booze.

Leveling cooking I noted that the buffs on this stuff are pretty good and was surprised more people don’t use them. When I checked the TP to sell excess product I couldn’t figure out why nothing was moving, or things that took 8s worth of mats were being listed at 1c.

So I tried out the search and that’s when I noticed the problem.
Is this going to be fixed at some point or is it working fine and I’m just lacking some ‘tribal knowlege’ like “Silly noob, everyone knows food shows up under armor/pants/rare” ?

edit: Just noticed it’s the same with pots, sharpening stones, etc. so it must be a general issue with buff items.

It’s because that stuff is trash that everyone makes boatloads of while leveling crafting. Tons of people use crafting as a way to turn gold into experience/levels, and couldn’t care less about the byproducts. There is nowhere near enough demand to outpace the massive supply… and most people never use food before level 80 since it takes so little time to get there.

Food buffs are trash, yet they are too valuable to bother using before 80…make up your mind.

The TP has lots of gaps. Food is one of them. Back items is another that comes to mind.

May be true in a lot of cases, I’ve found it’s only worth keeping the GB stocked with stacks of level 40+ grub ( with a few exceptions) but the main point was about the broken search functionality re: buff items in general.

I’m sure it’ll get sorted out at some point, but I hadn’t seen anything calling attention to it.
