Are blue recipes worth anything??

Murrtagh · July 2015

I have about 5/6 blue recipes and I don't do provisioning and I don't plan on working on it at all, but I don't want to sell em to a merchant for 10 gold if they're worth more than that to other players who are working on provisioning. Just curious if they have any sort of worth to players or if I'm better off just learning them or selling them for 10g a piece!

They are worth something, definitely. In a lot of ways, blue food is better to use than purple at times.

You're going to have to do the research, but I can guarantee someone will buy it off you for at least 200 gold, let alone 10. (Probably way more.)

Hmmmm, I will hold on to them then until that right someone comes into my life lol

I'm not aware of what recipes go for on PC but if you are a console player I would suggest getting into a good guild. Many guilds get good locations for their merchants and can sell blue recipes anywhere from 500 gold to 5000 gold honestly. The selling price you should base on the stats they give the player. For example a blue recipe that gives you 897 H & 816 M isn't as valuable as a recipe that gives the player 3854 H & 3504 M. The consoles market is all over the place currently so limitations could be a lot broader than that when selling.

I am currently working on trying to find a large merch. Guild that will accept someone who isn't a large volume seller, but still is able to move items pretty quickly. My next task for sure is finding a good merchant guild

I sell them in the 150g range and they never last long in the store(s). That's on the PC, no idea about consoles.

About 500g-700g is current price. Toss it on and they should sell in a day or two.

I sell green recipes on PS4 EU for 100g & have not seen any others for sale as cheap as mine. They go pretty quickly & I sell on average 5 a day.

I havnt found a blue I already knew yet though so I havnt looked at what others sell them for. Whatever they sell them for, I'd sell them cheaper. Definitely more than 10g

I consistently sell greens for 400-450g; 500-700g should sell blue rather quickly. This is all on console though (ps4 na)

Some of the blue ones sell for more than the purples. I had to pay thousands for Horker Stew!

on xbox, I usually snap up a blue recipe whenever it is 500. 400 was the cheapest blue I saw. I see them mostly price from 1000-5000. A lot near 1000.
Even green recipes, except the roast pig one, should all sell for 100 minimum. If I need a recipe, I pay up to 300 for a green without blinking.
Console is an inconsistent market right now, but you don't have to try to sell them at absolute minimum. Some guilds won't appreciate you undercutting everyone else in the guild, by the way. You should have no fears of selling greens for at least 200, except for a very few common ones, and blues for 500. again, that's on console. seems everything is cheaper on pc.

I learn any new ones I come across and sell the rest: green for around 50, blue for 250 and purple for 2000 for drinks, 5000 for food.

But those are PC numbers.

I'm XB1 on NA server. I buy EVERY blue under 500g (bought one last night for 300g - couldn't believe it was so cheap). I learn all recipes I can. If I have one I don't know. I list mine for sale in guild store. 200g for green and 999g for blue. They generally sell within 24 hours.

Murrtagh · July 2015

Thank you all for the insight! I am on console (Xbox na) I will definitely be finding a merch. Guild soon!

Worth 400-1500 gold most of the time.

Lower level ones tend to be worth more as they're less common due to high VR level ones being pumped into the game constantly via crafting writ rewards.

Panth141 · July 2015

400-1500 seems about right to me, too

Don't be too quick to get rid of them if you're going to craft your own consumables, though - when PvE-ing you're likely to be glugging down blue food/drink most of the time anyway - crafting purple consumables requires rare ingredients that take a while to hoard - I save all my purple food/drinks for PvP or a particularly intense dungeon

Low level blues are the bomb.

1.There are no epic or 1 only epic recipe for low levels.

2. Blue ones only give stats to 2 but they give more for each one than the epic ones do. So if you are only focusing on stam or magica blue ones can be better.
