Mender Earie is an NPC for the Sylvari portion of Gourmet Training and can be found tending to a little garden north of Gardenroot Tunnel. He supplies the Grove's Master Chef, Bhia, with herbs and spices.
To reach him, head towards the wall north-west of Reckoner's Waypoint — and cross a vine bridge to enter the tunnel, then take the right fork. Alternatively, use a springer to hop over the wall west of Caledon Waypoint — .
Mender Earie requires you to gather Varietal Seeds to complete his portion of Gourmet Training which then unlocks the recipe to craft the Portable Composter. After crafting this item Mender Earie will reward 10 chef ranks and unlock a garden plot in your home instance. Note, this step only unlocks after a player reaches level 425 Chef.

Dialogue[edit]
- This is a lovely place for a small garden, don't you think?
- It's quite nice and secluded.
- If Gourmet Training is active and the player has been sent here by Bhia
- This is a lovely place for a small garden, don't you think?
- Bhia told me you grow the best ingredients for her here.
- She's too much! Yes, I give her some herbs from time to time. If she's told you about my garden, you must be a talented chef, no?
- I'm learning. Can you teach me to garden?
- Of course! I'd be happy to teach you. The first step is gathering seeds for your own garden. Let me demonstrate for you, and then you can go into the wild and bring me back some seeds.
- That's very generous of you.
- Mender Earie: My garden is your garden.
- (If the player owns a Black Lion Garden Plot Deed)
- I have one just like it.
- (otherwise)
- It's quite nice and secluded.
- Before collecting the seeds/crafting a composter
- Did you need my help with something?
- Remind me what I'm supposed to do?
- (if you do not have a Varietal Seed in your inventory)
- Please gather varietal seeds and bring them back to me.
- (if you do not have a Portable Composter in your inventory)
- Please go craft a portable composter.
- Got it.
- After collecting Varietal Seeds
- Did you need my help with something?
- I have the seeds you asked for.
- Good. Now, you'll want to plant them with some fertilizer. I'll teach you how to make a portable composter that will quickly compost food for you
- Thank you. (Unlocks Portable Composter)
- After crafting a Portable Composter
- Did you need help with something?
- I've crafted a composter.
- Excellent! Now, you can decompose magically imbued food to obtain an extract of its nourishing properties.
- What can I use the extract for?
- If you add the finest Extract of Nourishment when you plant crops, they will be imbued with additional properties. I'm sure you'll grow some very special herbs with this in your compost.
- I never would have guessed.
- I'm so pleased that you have an interest in gardening. How about I set up a plot at your home for you tend[sic] at your leisure? I'll ask a friend to watch your crops while you're away.
- I'd like that very much. (Unlocks Garden Plot Deed)
- Here are a few seeds to get you started. (Receive one each: Varietal Mint Seed, Varietal Sesame Seed, Varietal Peppercorn Seed, Varietal Clove Seed, Varietal Cilantro Seed)
- Thank you.
- No thanks.
- Thank you.
- Okay.
