Guild Wars 2

You get the ogre sharpening stone recipe from the ogre weapon collection once you have completed it. My question is why does the game have a sharpening stone that gives exactly the same bonuses that the superior sharpening stones have? The superior ones cost less and do the same thing.
Why not do something different like a power/ferocity or even a power/precision bonus?
After all its from a special collection achievement not from the tp.

They last 45 minutes instead of 30. Judging by “Show base ingredients”, it’s 87s11c to make 5, which means they’re worth around 17s42c, which makes them a little more cost effective than superior sharpening stones which are 12-15s depending if you use buy orders or not.

They both get wrecked by potent superior stones though, which last an hour and cost around 18s.

In my opinion it would be nice for a lot of crafting recipes to get overhauled again. Particularly food and consumables. It just happens as a game gets older, that some recipes don’t make as much sense as they used to when they were first released.
