Guild Wars 2

I was thinking about this the last time eating food came up as a daily, and forgot to ask. What’s the cheapest food (that would count when eaten)? What about for sale at a vendor for cash or karma?

Most crafted food is cheap if it’s low level because it has no vendor value and thus can only be sold to players. Check the trading post for food.

Surprised nobody’s mentioned the cheapest, simplest method yet.

1. Go to any Master Chef in a city.
2. Buy Rice in Bulk for 49 karma.
3. Eat all 25 Rice Balls inside.
4. Achievement done!

I just search for Fine Consumables and sort by cost on the TP whenever this daily come up. So far each has cost me 50c total.

I Buy slice’s of Eda’s apple pie (queensdale heart karma vendor http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Farmer_Eda ) whenever it is daily karma spender and consume them whenever it is daily feast.

the 49 karma rice is very cheap and very easy

Thank you very much, folks!

I’ll keep that in mind for next time. As it is today, I have 4/5 dollys assaulted in WvW, so I’m going to shoot for one more of those today to keep me motivated.

But I’ll definitely file that away for next time, especially at that low karma rate!

I’ll stop by and check out the apple pie as well. I favor spending a lot of time in Queensdale for my dailys as it is, plus I just enjoy the zone.

I tried that once, and there was nothing cheap for sale the last time, it was all really expensive. I don’t mind spending even a few silver if it helps someone out, but I recall at the time the only thing was really expensive, highly sought after buff food for sale.

I’ll look again next time it comes up. I did manage to get one more dolly in.

hmm? I have 400 cooking, it’s quite true most food is cheap, many at 2c ea and worth far less than the ingredients to make them. Even with cooking, it’s cheaper to just buy most stuff apart from a small amount of L400 foods. Fact is, for those looking to make a little gold from a craft, cooking is just not it.

Anyway, to find food on TP, for those that don’t know since there is no “food” listing, you simply set your filter to consumable and then list it. Click on price sort once and you will be filled with pages and pages of food.

I know what I did, I picked a sub category of ‘food’ off consumable. Things start at a higher price that way. The cheapest thing I see is 23c, and if you consider you need to eat 25, that would be a bit more than I’d want to spend.

So, those little potions count as food? It just has to be something you consume? That’s actually great, those little starter potions are cheap.

Haven’t tried those. I just set the main category to Consumable and quality to Fine. Cheapest right now is 6c. When it was buying for the daily cheapest was Roasted Parsnip at 2c each.
