Jorek.5087:

To Be Honest I just want My Walnuts I’ve farmed Orrian Truffles and Coriander Seeds all day to go and find the walnut vendor is no longer there Sigh WTH

Wait for the TP to come back up. They’re no longer bound to you, but they will be expensive.

Resti.4291:

The “easy” way was not easy though. I personally had to grind many levels and a ton of karma to even access the things like peaches off the high level zone vendors. I was working on leveling all day just to live going into the last couple of zones to buy the higher level mats. To remove all this stuff is very uncool.

You’re right, it wasn’t “easy” It was a karma points sink. Now you must grind for loot bags that may or may not contain the item you’re after (or pay big bucks at the TP, as prices will no doubt skyrocket)

Same goes for Dyes, as they’re no longer reasonably easy to make.

Also Confirmed: General Karma Vendors Sell basil, Bell Peppers and Ginger Root now PER PIECE, Not by the bag (6 for basil/bell, 9 for ginger)

I suspect it -was- intentional, due to the “easy” (not easy) leveling via cooking. However, it looked like the items they removed from vendors were no longer account bound (Walnuts were, at least)

Add Walnuts to the list, Both Vendors in Snowden Drifts stopped selling them. Bit of a pain grinding across a map just to get to these vendors only to have the materials “Mysteriously Vanish” with the patch.
