I’ve been looking around on the web and the cheapest yet most efficient buff to me currently seems Glazed Pear Tart, you can buy it for 4 copper each and gives 22% magic find, 50 power and 15% XP from kills.

Anything else seems to expensive at the moment and just not worth using for a dungeon run, I’m trying to make money not get rid of it, so I’m curious to see what other people use, there might be something better.

Level 80 Elementalist, experienced player in pvp, trying out pve for now.

Birthday blaster, free. Your character needs to have had a second birthday though or party with someone that has it.

I’ve still never opened a second birthday present to use one of these. Must have nearly twenty gifts sitting in backpacks by now.

Fire up the Hyperbowl ma, we’re going to town!

Would you like some hard cheeze with your sad whine?

steak and asparagus for casual runs. They cost around 8s atm but faster you do the dungeons, faster you can go through them and get the rewards in a more time efficient manner.

I have it, but I hate using it every 10 mins, heck why I use buffs instead.

I don’t do speed runs but still run dungeons fairly fast with the right group and often do casual runs as well. It takes like 5 seconds to stop and use it again when the buff runs out or when close to running for out for a rebuff prior to a critical encounter. With the buffs it gives even with the short duration it is still better than that glazed pear tart you are using IMO. It works for me at least. To each their own.

Steak and asparagus for the rare occasions when I feel like min-maxing, glazed peach tarts for everything else. Where applicable I use potions of slaying or hardened sharpening stones, which are cheap and easy to craft.

Griffon Egg Omelets or Minotaur Steaks, Super Veggie Pizza on engineer(these are only 2 silver each and not significantly worse than the best ones).

But what’s more important are the +9% or +10% slaying potions(cost 1 token each). A high percentage of players don’t bother with this even if they are so cheap.

You can also further pump by making slaying weapons for sub lvl 80 dungeons with exotics(they only cost some arah/coe/cof tokens anyway, the slaying sigil isn’t that expensive too). That’s another 5% damage most are missing. Of course you also have a decision to make on what sigils to use on ascended weapons depending on how much you run Arah/CoE/HoTW.

Just like everything else, you have to spend money to make more money. You won’t accumulate wealth with a kitten attitude like pinching every penny that is significantly hindering your performance(losing out on possibly 15%+ damage off the bat).

Be aware of the stat caps when using food.
