Consumable

A consumable is an item that has limited use and is depleted upon use, after which is removed from inventory. A small number of items can be used more than once.

Types of consumables

• Alcohol — beverages that cause intoxication and give points towards the Achievement, "Thirst Slayer".
• Blueprints — Items used in WvW to construct Siege weapons.
• Boosts — grant temporary benefits to the user and are available via the Gem Store, storyline quest reward, area completion reward, and drops.

  • Change character appearance, e.g. Hylek Potions (changes the player's color) or Tonics (transforms the player into an alternate model, such as an NPC or inanimate object).
  • Skins — changes the appearance of equipment.

  • Food — grant temporary benefits to the user and give points towards the Achievement, "All You Can Eat".
  • Maintenance Oils — grants a temporary increase in precision.
  • Potions — grant increased damage to specific foes...and reduced damage from those foes.
  • Sharpening Stones — temporarily increase power.
  • Tuning Crystals — provide a temporary increase to condition damage.
