If you're training masteries not taking food makes everything take longer to train. Consuming luck is a no brainer, since it's account wide magic find, but you don't have to take anything regularly, just consume the luck you get. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeanBB.4268 Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Hero panel > achievements ...I think? I just go there without thinking. If you haven't been consuming it then don't worry, you'll be nowhere near max. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are currently at 45 luck out of the 520 needed to reach 44%. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Player.2475 Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 You're not really wrong to not use food. The bonuses to exp and stats from most types of food are not going to significantly impact your gameplay. The stats themselves give you ~6% more to two stats, though ascended food has a nice -10% damage reduction. There's some nice ones that can give you regen, faster endurance recovery, less damage taken while stunned or shorter condition duration which can be nice to have if you have some build that benefits from those bonuses. If you're after the exp, celebration, festive and exp boosters (if you buy the gobblers for them you can get 1 hour for around 1g worth of materials) will give significantly better bonuses. Magic find is pretty much a meme stat at this point since most of the items you get in the game will not be affected by it at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picture of what you are looking at might help, wiki link has a the full table for luck requirements for each % till you max out of luck. at 43% total luck to consume is 9920, to reach max you will need to reach 4295450. Wiki link also shows the panel you are looking for: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Luck Food and util aren't needed for PvE but can still add stats, XP bonuses, luck, gold find and just help round out a build and make it more efficient especially if you are going solo. In WvW if you head to the mists I would say that is different and if you aren't running them you aren't helping yourself. Food Wiki: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Food Hope that helps. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheQuickFox.3826 Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Food is not very important for open world content. It always helps but it's not at all required. Luck helps a bit with chance of very rare drops but that chance remains very low. Both can be safely ignored. The first years that I played this game I never got any rare drops, but now I got luck maxed I rarely get one. So do not expect miracles from luck but it helps. Food is often a requirement (By commanders) for harder instanced group content like raids, strike missions and T4 fractals and is a hard requirement for any CM content.
