Guild Wars 2

Chefs do not have masterwork recipes. Chefs therefore cannot fulfill the monthly crafting requirement.

Chefs, apparently, are no longer considered crafters. Odd how crafting boosters work for them, & they use the crafting UI & all. Hmm. Strange. sigh

there are masterwork dyes that chefs can make, so they can fulfill the requirements. brown and yellow dyes appear to be the least costly (if you have to buy ingredients).

I am not sure what level you have to be to make them, but they do exist, so chefs still have an equal chance to get the monthly

I stand corrected.

However, given that the first non-purchased masterwork recipe for chefs is at skill 125 (vs. 50 for other crafting classes), I still maintain that this was not a well-considered move. A higher number of crafted items of any level would have provided a more equitable challenge across all of the crafting skills.

Have to agree with the OP a little bit, it’s annoying as somebody who normal crafts with a chef to get this down, the other professions are considerably easier.
