Nice post plus rep

[Reiu]

Great post, any idea where to get "Green Bean"s?

[zelghadis]

Great post, any idea where to get "Green Bean"s?

They were sold by Karma Vendors during betas, but it seems got removed at last moments before launch. Got no idea where to find them now

[zelghadis]

Ok, I've found new place for Green Beans - keep in mind it's not confirmed, as I've got no way of logging in right now:
Wayfarer Foothills in Shiverpeaks. The area is Icesteppes, northwest of the Twinspur Haven waypoint. It's bought from Albin Chronicler.

[cdmichaelb]

Thanks for the list! Too bad I don't have 3 rep to give to push you to 80 :P


Btw; I think the list would be better with the common items removed from the remote vendors.

I can confirm that, he sells a pack of green beans. Thanks a lot.

Thanks for rep and tip, but I think I will not remove these remote merchants, as it's actually different way of obtaining basic products - someone may wish not to spend gold on item they can buy for karma for example.

There's no NP on WvWvW. All listed in WvWvW are agthered either on Borderlands or on Central map.
Listed in Black are "This is the name of normal Ingredient that can be found in any part of specific map" as stated in LEGEND.

[heretotrade]

i can't get egg [Karma merchant] - Cassie – 3 karma .. Do you have any other location that sell them?

[cdmichaelb]

Didn't realize you could get them for Karma! I assumed it was still gold on those vendors... (wishes he had his TONS of money back)

nice share +rep

[cdmichaelb]

Meinolf Njordson only sells walnuts.
