Guild Wars 2

Kudos to whoever is responsible for this. Sure, I could have bought the pre for less than the cost of Tier II, but then I would have missed out on the fun. Pouring one out for my dead owl spirit homey, dance party in Jennah’s throne room, etc.

Couple questions though:
I only have one or two things left – Will I still be able to get the stuff for the chef recipes (purple potatoes), and the ants and grasshoppers after completing the whole collection?

Also – what’s up with sharkfin soup? It says that it is a needed recipe and I bought it, but it doesn’t seem to be used for anything.

Update: Looks like I don’t have to worry about whether you can still gather the stuff after completing, because I’m not sure that I will ever finish.

This can’t be serious with the Indigo Mushroom Milkshake.

10 drops of mushroom juice needed x 25 indigo mushrooms = stack of indigo mushrooms needed.

These things drop 1 out of 10 to 20 gathers from mushroom/truffle nodes.
Meaning that you’ll need 2500 to 5000 gatherings from mushroom nodes. Yeah, not gonna happen anytime in this lifetime unless I live in the skritt caves. I’ve defended the precursor crafting in the past, but really?

Yeah….I’m also stuck on that one as well. Unless they do something about the drop rate for these mushrooms we’ll never be able to craft The Energizer. Sigh~~

Hey where did you find the Ancient orrian wine and how did you get Dance with Abaddon? Cos I thought they still haven’t fixed the Ogden bug.

Update: Thanks to whichever anet employee read this thread and fixed.

The drop rate of indigo mushrooms has been boosted significantly in a recent patch. They now drop in clumps of 4 or 5 at a time, seem to drop more frequently and also now also drop from Sawgill Mushrooms, whereas they did not before (or at least were horribly rare). The milkshake is far more reasonable to acquire. Not completely trivial, but something that you can likely achieve through relatively normal play.

to Reizel: The wine came from coral in Cursed Shore, I think I got mine from the node by the Melandru statue by Rotbeard. Dance with Abaddon I just did the story instance, it worked fine for me.
