“

Pfft, what do you know? I'll take the dust to the streets and start my own food cart. I'll be rich!

— Seimur Oxbone

Sous-Chef Seimur Oxbone is Chef Robertus' assistant. During Hidden Arcana, he can be seen arguing with Robertus over the use of Bloodstone Dust as food, which Robertus says is impossible. At the end Seimur states he's leaving the Priory in order to achieve his dream of making food out of the magical component. Soon enough, Seimur Oxbone starts selling various Bloodstone-related food around Tyria. However, he returned to the Durmand Priory during Arcana Obscura, a month after he began selling his Bloodstone-food.

Once the player reaches 425 in cooking, Seimur moves into their home instance and sets up a chef crafting station to help guide them to becoming a Grandmaster Chef.

Dialogue

(On Tuesday)

Tuesday's my favorite day of the week. No meetings! I can cook all the bloodstone waffles I want.

(On Wednesday)

Guess what day it is? Too slow—it's Wednesday! Which means bloodstone goulash for everyone!

(On Thursday)

Enjoying Tuesdays was so two days ago. Now Thursdays are all the rage. And I celebrate my Thursdays with bloodstone bearclaw pastries! Want one?

(On Friday)

Friday's a day for celebration, so I'm whipping out the bloodstone ice cream!

(On Saturday)

Hoo, that bloodstone mead is fierce stuff. But even after a night of drinking, nothing picks you up better than my bloodstone espresso!

(On Sunday)

Sunday's[sic] are usually slow, so I had time to make a complete bloodstone breakfast this morning.

(On Monday)

Start your week off right with a piping-hot cup of bloodstone coffee!

All right.

No, thanks.

(Before giving any food to Grawnk)

I have a grawl problem. Got anything that might help?

Hmm, try the bloodstone broth. It's a little light, so I'll make sure the proportions are generous.

What do you want for it?

Well, it turns out handling all this bloodstone is burning my hands. A lot. I'd happily part with this broth for a tiny snowflake I could cool my hands with.

Let me take a look.

No, thanks.

(After giving Bowl of Bloodstone Broth to Grawnk)

The grawl's still there. Got anything stronger?

Seriously? Well, I've got some bloodstone soup. It's got a bit of everything in it. Possibly even the kitchen sink.

What do you want for it?

Working with bloodstone is a little hard on the old cookware. I could use a shiny frying pan if you come across one. I hear a skritt in the Harathi Hinterlands does great work.

Let me take a look.

No, thanks.

(After giving Cup of Bloodstone Soup to Grawnk)

Seimur, I need your help. This grawl's got to go.

Drastic times call for drastic measures. To you, I unveil my masterpiece. Behold—bloodstone chili!

What do you want for it?

Tell you what. Get me one of those Superior Sigils of Mischief, and let me see if it can help cool down this pan. In exchange, you get the chili.

Let me take a look.

No, thanks.

Trivia

• This NPC may be a reference to the lead character Seymour Krelborn from the 1986 film Little Shop of Horrors, as the names are very similar and both characters use blood as food.
• The waffles on tuesdays may be a reference to ArenaNet's tradition of making waffles on release days.
• A Priory Cook NPC with the same model as Sous-Chef Seimur Oxbone can be found in The Durmand Priory (instance).
