Whether you went back and read any of those or not my point stays the same. Buying in bulk is critically important to making profits in Guild Wars 2. It is so important that apparently even ArenaNet believe this so much that they incorporated a way for you to purchase bulk items from vendors in the game. What's even better is that you can do it using karma. When I first heard about the system of karma I thought it was going to be difficult to come across enough to make any difference. I figured that karma was going to be something like valor points in World of Warcraft. Using that as a comparison couldn't be any further away from what they actually are.

So why in the hell am I talking about karma? Well – karma may not seem like anything major, but I assure you it is! One of the most amazing things that we can do with karma is actually purchase certain food items in bulk using it. This can potentially save us endless amounts of time. Rather than being out farming for ingredients there are certain vendors which will actually sell them to you in bulk for karma.

This is not something I put together is was created by GWCRAFT on the forums. The original database is a Google Document
