Had skilled up on Giant Feasts and had a couple of stacks taking up space in my bank - was going to just destroy them but cheap ******* that I am, I decided to take the extra 30s and drag 'em to a merchant - glad I did - suckers sell for 1g each at friendly which turned my nearly 100 skill up items into some nice cash.
Now I realize that the raw mats are probably worth more then the end result and of course who wants to burn spices untill they've gotten every recipe, but since there's no benefits to that and the small feast other then making everyone big or small no point burning good gold IMO.
