Guild Wars 2

So I logged in today to do some crafting and I noticed that food you craft that can be used in other recipes like Omnomberry compote etc doesn’t say so anymore. Which makes it hard for me to know what food I need to keep to use in other recipes.

They used to have a little “note” at the bottom saying something like “crafting 400” so I knew they could be used to make something new. Now I don’t know which foods to save and which I can eat. I was wondering if this is a bugg or if this is removed for some reason and if so why?

hopefully a bug because that should really be there, to me, for the exact same reason you mentioned.

Essentially this is a “put it back +1” post.

I haven’t looked at Cooking since the crafting UI update – is it possible that items like that show up in the new sub-component buttons? But then, if you don’t know the recipe you won’t see the sub-components.

This is really needs to be put back. That hint was one of the only things that actually helped to bring a tiny bit of organization to the incredible mess that is the cooking crafting system.

I’m pretty sure it’s a bug.

The same has happened to a lot of the crafting materials used by other professions as well (mainly the fine materials). It’s not consistent though, some are still marked as crafting materials, others aren’t and I can’t see any pattern to it. I’ve also confirmed that the ones not labelled do still work as crafting components.

I reported it as a bug yesterday (via the in-game report function) so hopefully they know about it and will fix it soon.

It would be helpful if there was a storage area that you could place crafted items that are also crafting materials for other items.

I just ate and sold a whole bunch of craftable snacks and meals because the items no longer had that Ingredient (x) label, however I’m just learning that they still are usable. This is so annoying! Now I have to make the ingredients again at some point, though running out of room to store all these in the bank. I agree there should be a separate storage for these, but I doubt they will do that. It would mean losing 600 gems for a new bank tab

Hope that this is on the list of things to fix. It’s made levelling a new chef a lot harder than it needs to be.
