Guild Wars 2

So there are several ingredients that I have but cannot see in the discovery pane. For instance I have pears, and regardless of whether I deposit to inventory or have them in my actual backpack they are not a food that shows up in the discovery pane. However they were their before I ran off and did some world bosses. I really can’t figure this vanishing unusable food thing out but it totally wasted one of my crafting boosts. Anyone else see this odd behavior?

Incidentally, if I look up the one recipie I made with pears before I ran off to kill world bosses, I can see that it says I have 73 pears left. This is really quite annoying.

there are only two discoverable recipes using pears Bowl of Blackberry Pear Compote, and Ginger Pear Tart. if you have discovered them both, pears will not appear in the discovery pane anymore, because there is nothing left to discover (the same happens with other ingredients).

hope that helps

That usually indicates that it, as a part of a recipe, no longer has any undiscoverable foods left.

Yep- if you have an ingredient and there is nothing undiscovered that uses it, it will disappear. It’s just a way of tidying that discovery pane up.

Another thing that confused me was that some discoverable recipes I had the ingredients for, but it would say something like “add more ingredients to create something”. It wasn’t the ingredients that I was lacking, it was that I wasn’t a high enough crafting level to combine them.
