Dried meat - Can you make your own?

[Rambojazdude]

I have lots of raw meat that rots quicker than milk in the sun. Is there a way to preserve the meat yourself please?

Unfortunately no, at the moment eating food quickly or buying dried food is the only options. As there is no cooking skill in the game currently so it's not an option. Hopefully someone mods this skill into the game in the near future.

Best to only hunt a limited amount of meat here and there for eating. Had to learn the hard way you will lose quality on the meat if you intend to sell a ton of it due to limited vendor funds for buying your goods. Most of the food vendors have less than 400-100 groschens to buy with.

He is correct that there is no cooking skill; however, that doesn't mean you cannot cook or take steps to preserve food.

You can drop things into pots, or cook directly by looking at the fire.

You do have skills that can preserve meat longer; for example, the first level of alchemy has a skill that makes things degrade 20% slower.

As for meat as a source of income, there are two "Activities" in the game that are procuring meat for a begger and innkeeper. You can also sell meat to a lot of different traders; for example, if memory serves: in Rattay, the Trader, Butcher, and Alchemist will all accept meats. I figured they made the Alchemist accept high quality and quantity due to the expensive items he carries.

Thanks everyone. You can use a skill to allow eating rotten food. Something like human dustbin.

I love this perk. You dont get any of the benifits that the food might have but you can get nurishment from it regardless of how degraded the condition.

I just found out if you look at the firepite where a pot is cooking over it and it will say deal with fire and cook. it will cook hare meat or any other raw meat.

Or you could just steal a butcher's inventory, I just got more than a hundred from the Ledetchko butcher.

Only with "from the ashes" dlc (you can make dried meat after building bakery, and smoked meat after building butchery - but you can't have both).
