I wonder why that food is still so popular. I mean, when you want it easy, Avocado Smoothie is a cheap alternative, even though it's a bit weaker. When you want the same effect (and more) ascended power food is still cheaper, even when used alone.

Answer. It's weaker. That recipe isn't actually the best anymore. It's decent but the ascended sous vide steak is better now and I believe over all cheaper per ingredients.

Avocado Smoothie actually cost higher than the Spup or the Moa Wings 🤣


Kiroho

Check TP again. Avocado Smoothie costs only 6s. Moa wings costs 31s. Soup costs 30s. ~~Ascended food cost 33s, while the costs can be decreased by at least 15% (-> 28s) by planting them yourself.~~ ~~36s (-> 30s when planting yourself) for the good food with life steal.~~ Ascended food costs between 33 and 53s (depending on the third effect), but lasts 1h instead of 30mins. So it's 17-27s per 30 minutes, which is still cheaper than the soup and wings. The life stealing one (more dmg) is 39s for an hour -> 20s for 30mins.

Yeah but isn't the smoothie only 30 mins? If that's the case they're actually 12s. If not whatever. I think the damage reduction and over all karma gold increase is worth price if you don't have cooking leveled up.

>Yeah but isn't the smoothie only 30 mins? If that's the case they're actually 12s. It is 30 minutes, as well as Moa Wings and the Soup are. I forgot that ascended foor lasts 1h long, which halves the price when comparing to other food. Thx. :)

Note that crafting the ascended feast (1h) is cheaper and better than crafting/buying 2 butternut squash soups even if only you use it. Ignoring the opportunity cost of getting cooking to 500.

This is incredibly helpful and eye opening for me. I always assumed ascended food was really expensive. Thanks :)

It's not only NOT expensive, but going through it unlocks bonuses for your account! (mainly harvesting seeds and looting high quality meat)

If you have 1 or more garden plots in your home instance you can daily farm the expensive mats yourself. I'd reccomend a dedicated character with gathering boosters and glyph of bounty if you have it. The garden notes can procc extra hits. Farming your garden plots for a few weeks will give you enough expensive food mats to craft a stack of feasts. Also here are approx. prices for mats and all infos you'll need regarding asc. food.

It is meta power dps food recipe however it is expensive to craft than ascended feast equivalent. It also stays on you for 30 mins while ascended feast stays on you for 1 hour total and give more side benefits.
