That's what i've been doing, they drop everywhere and i only have 750 material storage... :weary:

Oh they're used in ascended food? I guess i can give them to my guild for that. Though they also probably have tons of it.

Maybe i'll level my Chef and start crafting food as well!

When you have Ascended Crafting you also need to Salvage food to create material that are used in Crafting Ascended Food.

 

Here is a list all you can create with Milling Stone: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Milling_Stone

 

Especially https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Cup_of_Light-Roasted_Coffee can be Salvage this way, so there are uses for Milling Stone and other material in that you either craft it food or feast or buy it large quantity only to make into Salvage (Compost) for Extract of Nourishment in different tier.

 

Salvage kit for breaking down food and feasts - Portable Composter: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Portable_Composter - this item can be used like any other Salvage that are Account Bound on any character (you can craft more of these if you don't want to share Portable Composter).

Use GW2 wiki as there is a step by step guide for how to become Master in crafting Ascended food connected with that achievement that you start when you will do this. You will have one character that in the end have a Bloodstone Owen (craft station), so it is long road ahead and some Gold cost, if you need to purchase things. During this process you will also get recipe for doing your first Salvage kit (Portable Composter).

 

You will also have access to NPCs with items that you can buy that you will need for crafting Ascended Food (same as all other crafting of Ascended armour or Weapon).

 

In your Home Instance you will have one Garden Plot for free and be able to purchase more from from Gem Store. As far as I have seen those Garden Plot will never be on reduced sale, so count on 1000 Gem for each Garden Plot you will add in the future. Harvesting from those are best to do with Gathering Tool you equip with Glyph of Reaping or buy with Karma from Gathering Tool vendor at Lion's Arch (look up "Gathering Tool" at GW2 wiki and you will see more places where this type of vendors can be found). The reason I suggest to use Reaping is that you collect all in range with this type of tool and Gardening Plot have several nodes very close, so in one strike you have everything at once.

 

When you place a Feast like Ascended Food it will stay in the World for 5 min. You can interact with it to reset your own timer (for yourself) as it give a 1 hour buff from that and in that way add 5 min (approx. 1 h 4 min). If you use a Primer to extend duration of all Food to 12 hour, then you might want to first activate Primer and then interact with Feast again, in case you forgot to use Primer before you put up your Feast. Just wait a couple of second due to short CD and you should be able to interact again. This knowledge are also useful in case there are several Feasts or you placed the wrong type for yourself and there is another close by.

If you mean the Sous-Chef, i already have him in my home instance. :smile:

I started that collection, just didn't level cooking up past 400. So i didn't get to the composter and the garden plot yet.

But yeah, i'll get there eventually, so i'll need milling stones for that, i'll save them for now.

 

And i know what Ascended food does, i play a lot of WvW. When we do guild raids, there's always food and banners at start, and refreshed each hour. Each person makes their own utility buffs though, not everyone uses the same. I don't use food primers, don't really need to, each raid thee's a fresh food, but when i have them, i use utility primers so i don't waste a lot of utility oils.
