Guild Wars 2

How is it that random semi humanoid animals can walk around with racks on racks of butter, but it would be to unrealistic to have some gathering nodes for oranges? I mean last I checked, oranges actually do grow on trees. Unlike butter and chocolate bars… and cinnamon sticks which seem to be all I can find. Ever since they revamped crafting, I have only come across two oranges (dropped randomly by I think a bandit in the Bloodtide Coast). Does anyone have any solutions for this, or has anyone found some hidden nodes or something for oranges?

They do drop from trees you chop down. They are lv 225, so maybe the higher end trees have more of a chance to drop them.

funny chocolate and cinnamon does grow on trees. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chocolate http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinnamon I always thought that the cook should be able to process some foods to acquire others, like butter could be extracted from buttermilk.

I figured there would be some stickler like you gummy, If you look in my post, I actually said chocolate bars. Which, unlike Oranges, do not in fact actually grow on trees. However, I cannot refute your statement about cinnamon sticks, I’ll confess, I honestly thought the process for harvesting them would be different, thank you Google. If Arena Net really wanted to make it realistic they could have had us gather coca beans and mix them with other ingredients to produce chocolate bars. As well as creating buttermilk and what not to get butter.

BTW, Thank you Smooth Penguin for this info. I am currently only level 73 so it is possible I haven’t made it to these gathering nodes. Although, I feel that is pretty doubtful. Could you point me in the right direction as to which nodes in which area you have gotten some oranges from, because I have yet to get even a single one.

Lastly Arena Net, although I do see some obvious flaws in your game, They are small and few and to be expected. I’m sure in no time at all this game will become a world class game that will be one to be reckoned with. Please do not at all think of my suggestion too gather cocoa beans and buttermilk and what not to make chocolate and various other common ingredients. It would be completely unnecessary and there is so many other important things that need attention first such as Mini Games, WvW, class balancing as well as gathering node and price balancing, and of course all the dynamic event improvements that im sure are being looked at. Just keep up the good work.
