RP Cooking How To - Custom Health potions?
Make a health potion that restores 100 - 300 HP at once?

Does anyone know?

Please don't tell me its OP because after the devs released "Thou shall not speak his name" into the game, nothing is balanced anymore... So Balance isnt a thing.

Really Im looking for potential recipes that could help me with cave exploration better than the current recipes out there, eg. Healing tonic, Lazarus chowder, the chowder or soup that warms you etc.

increase your crafting skill, then tinker with different things :)

You'll need something like 1000% crafting speed to get even close to that.

Just make some med brews. 20 red berries + 2 narcs and water

Thats a shame, I was hoping the RP cooking system would have some practicality rather than just an RP thing.

E.g. I should be able to make a super health potion with something like 100 red berries, 10 narcs and water.

everything they are putting in, is testing/development. It will get better, as time goes. Look at the taming evolving. It will get better with time. Let them get the base system in, then improve on it.

Like a wild non boss dino with 300,000 HP and 1200 base damge.
Few weeks now and still no changes to it.

Who the ♥♥♥♥ increases their crafting skill? Maybe several points. You'll need a dedicated cook. And even if they pumped 50 pts into crafting skill how effective could they be?

Well... I suppose that now you reset your stats with mindwipe.... hmmm....

So, anyone got a healing recipe thats quite good? Knowing that I can use a mind wipe tonic to temp pump stats I might try and create some epic healing potions. Anyone know if you can mix tonics and soups?

Food: 550.8

Sadly the health is a restore over time.

You were hoping you could make some OP nonsense, and based your desire to do this on the mere existence of the Giganotosaurus.

everything is over time

i think this sytem has a lot of potential but nobody wants to use 8 egg when they can just use 2 narcotic and 20 tinto berries

edited for meaningless difference
That is why I used Kairuku eggs, they are only for taming Anglers atm.... Also what is a cake without eggs? :P

I would say try it with dodo eggs. If you tame yourself one male dodo, and three females, you'll be swimming in dodo eggs rather quickly, faster then you can make narcotics almost.

Hmm. Thanks for this sounds great. This is with the new +5X patch update right? Seems like cooking might be viable now?
