What's everyone doing for food? (Official)

[Dreygar]

Is everyone still just murdering themselves for the most part? I find the food options to be lacking. Some really pointless recipes unless I am missing something.

Seems like the balance is 1 beef bun, 2 fish n chips. Or 2 pork pies, 2 fish n chips to balance vitamins/fill hunger completely (100 food). Which require usually wheat/corn, meat, a specific vegetable, salt, and an herb. Lots of mats for 1 food. Not really difficult to make but if you were actually trying to survive on this stuff then it would take a lot for a large group. This also means all of the rest of the food options are useless as they either are too costly/not easily available materials or just not the right vitamin mix.

Secondly, the buff foods pretty much all suck it seems. They either don't last long or their effect is so minimal that it does not make a huge impact.

If i'm at my base I eat to keep up the Fortitude aspect of the buff, but when at sea I rarely bother. It's the Suicide Express option for me. :D I've yet to waste points in cooking anything because I can't be bothered to island hop just to get ingredients.

Haven't lost the fortitude buff in ages. I'm lazy so I'll put 30 points into fortitude. By the time my vitamins are down to 35, it's 3 cooked meat, 3 milk, 15 berries, 15 veggies. Don't have to touch it again for about two hours.

Pretty much what I do, on land at least. I put about the same into Fortitude as well.

Best Food Combo:

3x Vegetables (Beet/Turnip/Wheat, cause as Tamefood you already have it)
1x Cooked Prime Meat (killing Bulls/Cows and you get soo much of it)
15x Fruits (Fruits..i mean Fruits...you can get them on every Island)
1x Cooked Prime Fish or 3x Milk (i prefer Milk, cause hunting Sharks is annoying)

This keeps all Vitals in Balance, its easy to have enough of this Food even for a big Company, you dont get Overeat/Overdrunk, you can have the Equilibirum Buff nearly nonstop...

But the Best: You dont have to waste Skillpoints in Cooking, only the Points to have the Crop Plots at first..after that Respec and get these Points back for useful things :)

In our company we use it for raiding and keep the vitamin buff up.
We mostly make 750+ each a week.
Porkpie,bubble n squeak, rosemary chicken, shrunken head stew
And the best ones Grog + dragons tongue delight.

Killing yourself is cheap but keeping yourself alive will give benefit (no corpse running, exp bonus, vitamins,...).
