Guild Wars 2

These are some recipes for some new utilities that would act as a sink for barbed thorns and fossilized leaves. Please dont fixate on the specific numbers, these are just some general ideas. Specific number effects and the number of thorns or fossils would need to be balanced. What I wouldnt like to see is using charged quartz again.

Cassava Root, Sawgill Mushrooms, Mussels, Lotus Roots now could all also use some new recipes. Some of these could be alternatives to festival specific foods or unavailable (except for the TP) recipes like Bowl of Curry Butternut Squash. New recipes, of course, would also be good. I’d also be interested in seeing things that are useful primarily in open world. Perhaps a food that gives a chance to drop karma anywhere, like the buff in Ember Bay. These kinds of things shouldnt be too expensive in the use of any already expensive items, but more to act as a sink for the over supplied items listed. For instance, having a karma gain food require 5 mussels and 1 orrian and 1 snow truffle would be way too expensive in other items, no one would use it and it would defeat the purpose. Another could be food that gives a bonus to map reward track progression
