Miscellaneous: Food and Drink

[Dabamf]

Pretty sure iron rations lasted significantly longer than regular rations. I started playing about 3-4 months after release and remember being very pleased when I discovered them.

I never drank fuzzlecutter formula until Kunark era so I can't talk about it's status in release, but it has been a longer lasting drink for as long as I know.

Any baker with a good memory? Tell me about stat food.

Was there anything besides Chardok sandwich? I had one of those, had to make sure not to eat it. had 50hp on it.

What all should have stats? prekunark-velious.

After a bit of sleuthing, I found an archived page of eqtraders.com from March of 2000, prior to the release of Kunark.

It does list several stat recipes such as Blackened Tier'Dal and Hot and Spicy Toelings. Noteably absent are the "big" recipes such as Misty Thicket Picnics and Grobb Liquidized Meat. However, as the incomplete recipe list shows, they weren't sure about several combinations.

I also did some checking of the list of "Old World" baking recipes on the current eqtraders website and of the recipes that I did check, including the "big" recipes, all of the ingredients can be found in the pre-kunark "classic" world on vendors or from mobs.

Don't think right clicking food wasn't classic either [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] not that that matters though.

I bought some pickles from the ogre in FP, they had +1 sta on them! Definitely don't remember any stats in classic. at all.

Banquet sized meal [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] No idea, I was never fussed with food / drink in classic. Can't remember if it made a difference or not. I definitely recall buying rations, but then buying iron rations because they lasted a lot longer.

Didn't start buying fuzzlecutter till velious, where it definitely lasted longer than a water flask.

Food duration were implemented April 17th, 2001:

This is also when stat food was first implemented.

We're talking 2 years after launch.

I can rule out the Misty Thicket Picnics as a baking recipe. According to the http://www.eqtraders.com/items/show_...r=035000000000 you need "Mature Cheese" to complete the recipe. This requires an item called "Rennet." The only old world supply of that item on live are in the revamped Freeport on vendors that didn't exist prior to that.

Not only that, but after checking the archived eqtraders website, the first mention of Rennet that I was able to find was not until after Luclin was released and then, only on a vendor in Fungus Grove and Shadowhaven. Near as I can tell, the "big" recipes were added with Luclin.
