If you’ve ever wanted to make Bloodstone Bearclaw Pastries or Lake Doric Mussels in real life, first of all why, second of all why not, and third of all your moment has come. ArenaNet announced this week that Guild Wars 2 is getting its very own cookbook, one I will surely have to buy for MOP’s Chris and his Well Fed column.

Penned by authors Victoria Rosenthal and Erin Kwong, the $35-ish Guild Wars 2: The Official Cookbook aka Guild Wars 2 Feasts of Tyria Recipes from Kryta to Elona (it’s listed both ways with different covers) is currently on preorder at Amazon (not affiliate links) with a release date of September 16th; it promises functional recipes based on cuisine representing multiple cultures across the MMO’s world. And as a preorder bonus, ArenaNet is teasing a new “butterknife” spear skin that is surely a reference to the Butter Nerf Crisis of 2012. Yes, it really was that long ago.

In other Guild Wars 2 news, ArenaNet has begun teasing part of the fourth and final chunk of the Janthir Wilds expansion, due out presumably next month. It really is just teasing for the fractal so far, but players are already pointing out that this area looks like Bjora Marches.

Brace yourselves, Tyrians—a dangerous challenge looms, and only legends shall rise victorious from the oncoming fractal
