Guild Wars 2

Recipe: Bowl of Sweet and Spicy Butternut Squash Soup

Why is this recipe not acquirable from molten facility / duo fractals? It is pretty bad design that a small percentage of people who has this recipe can control the prices. And buying it for around 100 gold is also not feasible.

This should drop somewhere. It is not some special skin like jetpack that has to maintain its rarity. It is a high-end food that is needed in raids that are now ArenaNet’s focus. Therefore, this recipe needs to be acquirable again.

If you are using buy orders these are actually only around 4s each compared to crafting it yourself.

Would still loved to craft my own though. My bank is full of saved up cooking ingredients and yet I have to buy food from TP. It would cost me zero gold if I could just use my stocks.

It would probably be on the Pact Supply Network Agent rather than fractal drops. The really don’t need to provide even more incentive to run that fractal to the exclusion of most others.

sell your stocks and buy the food on the TP, you’d possibly even make money.
