Guild Wars 2

I posted about this in the Crafting sub-forum, but I’d actually like to ask if this recipe is what it is for a particular reason. The food gives a boost to power and condition duration and has a duration of 30 minutes. So it’s hardly game-breaking stuff. Yet the recipe is such that you’d think it was Tier 1 food. It requires 20 Prickly Pears (the rare yield from cacti). Is this recipe prohibitively high because of economic considerations that I’m not seeing. Or is it possible the required values of Nopale (5) and Prickly Pears (20) were accidentally swapped during input?

That is really weird. Maybe the next released areas will have more opportunities to get prickly pears who knows

Yujin in the Crafting sub-forum posted the following:

Prickly Pear Stuffed Nopale (30 min) and Bowl of Sweet and Spicy Beans – +40% Condition Duration +70 Power. I think there’s an error/bug in the prickly pear stuffed nopale recipe. For some strange reason, the Prickly pear stuffed nopale uses 5 nopales and 20 prickly pears. The 1 hour version only uses 10 prickly pears.

His observation reinforces my belief that his recipe is a bug/mistake. It doesn’t make sense that the 30 minute version of the food would require twice as much as the 60 minute version.
