Q:
Chilli Peppers
A:
They’re definitely still in the game, but not a very common drop from herb nodes in Ascalon, only.
Okay thanks. I actually been away for a long time and found 500 in my bank. Stupidly I thought they were easy to come by since I had so many, so just spam cooked 120 or so..which seemed to be an expensive mistake.
I could sell the 500 for around 120g I believe, but then again, that may not be much since as I said, I’ve been away for a year and a half so I assume people have millions.
You probably got them when the chili cheese poppers were the vogue, way at the start of the game. You could buy them with karma then. But as bot cheese and chili peppers were karma items, Anet decided to remove the chili from the karma merchant and make it a rare drop instead…
This is likely the case if they were sold for Karma.
What do I do with them then? they sell for something like 25s each (is that a lot or has inflation hit the game and having 10’s of thousands the norm now?). I’ve maxed out cooking on a couple characters but if they’re needed for something important (as I don’t get why they sell for so much since people could level cooking without them) then maybe I should just save them.
Is it likely Anet would reintroduce them as karma items?
It is actually one of the most expensive cooking ingredients on the market. Out of the top of my head, only lemongrass comes close in value.
Its main demand is for Curry Butternut Squash Soup, which is a lvl 80 power/ferocity food and for several steak dishes that are required to complete the Fine Dining collection achievement.
Gold inflation isnt really a big issue in GW2 compared to other mmos, so the gold you get by selling will be worth a bit.
Most people that focus their gameplay on getting valuable rewards end up with 5-10g per hour, so 120g will be an equivalent of 12-24 game hours.
You could also buy about 800 gems with 120 gold, which is an equivalent of 10$/€.
Edit: i think its unlikely that they will reintroduce it as a karma item.

Those are cayenne peppers. Chili peppers come from herb nodes in the Ascalon region.

I’m a bit torn whether or not I should sell them, I’m kinda a hoarder (in game, not RL) and at the price they are at I feel I should save them, but I don’t even know if i’d use them :p
There is only a chance to get some from Herb nodes in Ascalon. The best odds are in Plains of Ashford as the Herb Seedling has the smallest drop table of 5. The higher level herb nodes have as many as 10 possible drops.
And the NPE removed a bunch of nodes from Plains of Ashford, because it might confuse new players. So the best map to get them got nerfed.
The home gathering nodes can drop chili peppers as well.

Yeah. I really wish they’d not done that. I used to farm them in PoA. Sadly the NPE means new players could hurt themselves if they use gathering tools, so they had to be pulled.

Is that an Ascalon specific thing ? Since the herbs in Straits of Devastation only drop
4 different things, and the herbs in the Shiverpeaks zones also.
EVERY MMO is awesome until it is released then its unfinished. A month after release it just sucks.
Best MMOs are the ones that never make it. Therefore Stargate Online wins.

The ones in Straits are special and different. They’ve only got 4 possible drops.
I’m not sure about the exact number of possibilities in the other regions, but Ascalon and Maguuma each have special things that only drop in that region. For Ascalon, it’s Chili Peppers and Dill Sprigs (and possibly sage?). For Maguuma, there’s Vanilla Beans.
Yup, got yesterday in straits of devestation..

Ooohps so they are, just noticied they wasn’t Ghost pepper…. :b
In Dredgehaunt Cliffs and Timberline Falls its Rosemary i mostly look for, however
i also think there are only 3 other options beside that.

you don’t get chilli peppers in straits of devastation.. you only get chilli peppers from herbs in ascalon biased maps including any hebs in the ascalon area of gendarran.
You get cayenne peppers in the straight of devastation
I got four chili peppers from random herb nodes in Diessa Plateau yesterday. So, yup, they still drop.
I hate how rare these things are to come by though T_T

Yes they are, but it seems a very rare drop.

Camp out Diessa Plateau sometime, harvesting wood, iron, and herb patches.
. . . you can actually turn up quite a bit of useful components.
