Guild Wars 2

Bad idea to remove Vanilla Beans from karma vendor and let them only be harvested in Metrica Province and Caledon Forest. Now they cost more than 3 silver each on TP. It really ruined the mood for me, Chef is pretty much the only crafting that i enjoy, because you have to mix ingredients alot. Now it’s kittened and i have to farm for hours.

Yeah, I farmed for about 2-3 hours to get enough vanilla beans to make omnomberry bars. After I was done, I came to the conclusion that its just not worth it anymore. Its cheaper to pay 1g on the TP for a nice stack of bars than lose 3 hours of my time.

THIS^^^ I used to enjoy making my own bars, but now kitten it. Takes forever to harvest enough.

Folks who want the bars for a buff can save time by buying them. Players who want to make money from cooking sell them. Your 3 hours saved is someone’s 3 hours paid in gold.

It would be nice if they were a bit more plentiful though to give a small boost to those who make and eat the food.

Well, i’m only 150 i Chef…i don’t farm for Omnom. ArenaNet kittened up. IMO i want them to change it back to how it was so i can level my craft properly.

You can find them in Sparkfly Fen, from Verdant Herbs.

Not saying they drop massively often, but I got 5 in one go once.

Personally I like having rare crafting mats, you need some way to make money in this game.

Agree with all the complaints on this topic. Either up the probability of their gathering or return the karma vendor route.
