Guild Wars 2

I may have missed it, but has there been any word on whether HoT will include lv. 500 cooking and jewelcrafting? I really hope so, since I have a lot of hoarded ingredients for both.

Chef is being increased, though I am not sure if its going to 500, I think it might be bumped to 400.

No idea about JC.

Chef has always been 400.

There’s been no mention of L500 crafting for Jeweler or Chef. There will be the new Scribe crafting discipline, though.

Good luck.

You do know that both chef and jeweler already are 400 right random.
Hence why the OP ask if they will be bumped to 500.

To answer the OP there have been no word on if either of these will be increased

Ya I was having a moment, I meant 500. They have mentioned cooking skill being upgraded to 500, I’m 99.9% sure they had a blog or a post about cooking being raised and new foods introduced. I really don’t feel like digging atm but I’ll see if I can find it.

Afraid not the only cooking they have had is that cooking show on their twitch channel mate.

If they had said cooking was going to level 500, you’d think there would be posts speculating about what it would make and also about jewelry. I haven’t seen any posts like that.

I know scribe is coming, buy i’d still like to see at least chef at 500.
We could get nourishments, food that lasts longer (though they wouldn’t want to kill the metabolic primer) or food that has different effects or that could pass on effects to your whole party/guild/squad. The last one might create balance issues if many ppl in a group had lvl 500 foods.

I’d like my jeweler to be able to craft ascended trinkets. I’d like my chef to be able to craft rarer (or specific, account-bound) dyes, higher-level potions and longer-duration foods. I hope they make time to do this when the HoT dust settles.

Potions are artificer territory, not chef-made. Higher-level potions are already “possible” (even if they don’t exist).

And since scribe doesn’t even go to 500, i doubt they’ll boost chef or jeweler even if some of the groundwork for it is already there. Maybe in one of the mini-releases that follows, but not with HoT prime.

daddar said dyes and thats chef territory

They showed some rare (golden) food in the collection for The Energizer
So it could be that chef goes to 500 with HoT

They could add new meals, new runes, new sigils for weapon, all a new “ascended” that would be an increase of 5% or more stat benefits.

In one of the interviews just after initial HoT reveal, they said there will be no changes to crafting beyond the precursor collections and new legendaries. I assume, that if something has changed since, they’d have told us.
