Miscellaneous: Food and Drink

**nilbog** · #1 02-01-2010, 11:55 AM

When were the majority of the new baking and drink recipes added to the game? I vaguely remember this.. but I honestly didn't care at the time.

Were halas 10 lb meat pies classic?

Were any foods better than other foods prior to the flavor text? Did iron ration *really* last longer than ration?

Here's a link discussing what I think is a giant list of recipes to remove*.
Best thing I have found so far. http://p218.ezboard.com/BAKING-velou...opicID=3.topic

Any baker or brewer shed some light on this situation?

Just doing a quick check, I found all (most?) recipes listed by era.

Classic: http://www.eqtraders.com/recipes/rec...r=080020020000 Edit: Seems this lists Vah Shir shaped cookies, so I'm guessing its not 100% classic.

Also Iron Rations lasted longer than rations, hence the only reason to buy them. Same with Fuzzlecutter Formula 5000 lasting longer than water flasks. As for the values of how long each lasted, I have no idea where you'd be able to find that info.

To my knowledge the durations should at least be accurate. There shouldn't be any stats on food yet, not sure when that was introduced, still looking.

EDIT: It's not classic as far as recipes go but it has durations:

It also mentions things like how food lasts longer when you don't click to eat it.

Also, not every race ate food at the same rate to my knowledge... as if you wanted this to become more complicated. I'm pretty sure large races and Iksar all ate faster than the other races.

I definitely remember the patch where food became different. Cause it pissed monks off. They could no longer carry milk and muffins, the two lightest foods, because they ate them too fast.

In the beginning, no food nor water lasted longer than another, it was merely flavor. Later, near the end of Kunark I believe is when food "meant something."

Not that my personal statement would carry much weight, but I know for a fact that 10 Pound Halas Meat Pie is -NOT- classic, it came out during Luclin. I remember it being very expensive when it was first out, along with the +5 All resist cake of some sort.

Not to go off topic, but if you're looking into non-classic stat food, I would also look into the Race illusion potions shamans are making, along with the ones that port to Everfrost, Inn. Swamp, etc.

Are you sure Iron Rations actually last longer? I thought the only difference was weight. You pay more for lighter food.

Iron rations lasted longer

Halas 10lbs were luclin

ping fuzzlecutter lasted a longass time

halflings, ogres, trolls, and barbarians ate faster than the rest

This is not a major issue to me. If it is going to be a lot of work then I would suggest you fix more important things like spells. Thistles, Levitate, etc.
