Favorite foods? Reliable source?

[Accel Lex]

I don't remember the exact foods I used, but I want a steady source I can reliable keep.
I mainly use up stamina, so I wanted high stam, plus some magic. I used the shield spell for defense, and fireball for the AOE. Summons just for fun.
I heard you can farm the magic plants but I haven't tried it. I have a cloudberry farm next to a portal, so those are easy to get.

Fish N Bread with Yggdrisil Porridge & Seeker Aspic I find reliable enough running as a mage. Blood Pudding is also a good alternative for stamina, and lasts 30 minutes.

Stuffed Mushroom is ok-ish but not as good, but worth making anyway as backups, or if for whatever reason you wanted to go triple eitr food.

You can farm Magecaps & Jotun Puffs in Mistlands but it has to be on a specific grassy area, look for dense areas of grass with no overhanging overhead rocks, as they still need an open sky to grow like all other crops.

[Happy]

You can probably find areas for farming on the outskirts or boundaries of the biome, where it meets either another biome or the sea, as there shouldn't be too many if any obstructions to farming the mushrooms.

Also recommend either double or triple resources drop in world settings as a lot of the new recipies require multiple of the new crop per craft anyway.

fast food, like in real life, isn't the best but its good enough when not fighting a boss or multi-starred big baddie. Its for working on your house or casually walking around, even in the mistlands if you are fully geared:

for eitr you are screwed, there are not enough choices and they all take some work. Without large amounts of royal jelly, you are stuck using stuffed mushrooms and raw mushrooms. That is easy, but its not going to power a full on mage playstyle.

but for stamina & bashing, mistlands tier, try:
salad. requires a farm and picking cloudberries, but those are found in large quantities.
If that is too much work, plain old bread will do it.

cooked seeker meat. you should have this in excess X 1000 more than you will ever need, and its about as easy as it gets: put it in the fire and eat it.

fish wraps. So easy, and more than good enough.

if you invested in fishing or know how to get fish without it easily (terrain manipulation, storm farming, etc) the fish&bread is amazing.

Those are about as easy as it gets but even these require effort to stockpile. The only thing you can really do for near zero effort is like bread & seeker meat. Out of the mistlands ... you can use lower tier food that is easy to get, like wolf meat jerky... in full ML gear even a lox fight isn't that impressive.

Mushroom omelette is easy to stockpile with a chicken breeding tower and a small MIstlands farm.
Blood pudding also works, you'll have to get thistles in the wild though and bloodbags from leeches (though the latter just takes walking through a swamp at night with your skeletons out and picking them up by the dozen).

For Eitr my go-to is seeker aspic. Since royal jelly respawns in infested mines (as do seekers) the mats are easily farmable, just leave a portal outside a mine with lots of jelly piles and you're set.

If you set up your base near the border of a Mistlands Biome you'll also frequently find hare meat outside your walls for easy access to meat platter and misthare supreme.

Onion Soup and Sausage are my main go to foods when I'm out in the world. As far as just doing things around the base Queens Jam, raw Cloud Berries, and raw Honey are decent.

[jonnin]

Ive had low luck with jelly spawning in bulk. Ive got like 6 portals to dungeons where a couple piles pops up every so often, but its barely enough on normal drop settings. Triple drop settings, sure. I am not above cheating some in either, but IMHO magic was meant to be used sometimes, not constantly, with the current food situation and the suggested (default) world settings.

[Accel Lex]

Onion soup (I have an onion farm near base) was the stamina one I used, and one of the magic ones for magic, but I was told that royal jelly didn't respawn, or that one of the ingredients didn't respawn so I think that's why I was also concerned.
I'll take a look at some of the recipes above, thanks!

Eye Scream for stamina. Greydwarfs and Drakes are plentiful.

Not really? I think that's just your worlds RNG/bad luck.
I have a dungeon that gives me 50+ jelly every couple of ingame days so there's zero reason to be frugal with it.
And yes, that's on default settings.

[jonnin]

heh.. so am I unlucky or are you extra lucky... good to know, regardless. I will keep looking for a good one.

Sounds like Odin was frugal with his blessings when he gave you good jelly locations but not us.
I'll make another sacrifice in his name later.

You need only the best food . So i have 2 portals near Anglerfish spots for fish n bread . Farm shrooms and save stuff for seeker aspic . Why waste resources for only average food i wonder.

Hare meat , carrot farming ,etc Those are your best friends for HP

its not wasting resources if its not contested with the best foods. Not a single one of the top foods use boar meat, for example, so using a turnip stew & sausage to work on your house, just to have something if a raid happens, isn't wasting anything.

endgame i eat honey chicken (health), meat platter (health), and either salad or blood pudding (stamina).

I agree. I have quest food for when I go out and then more less expensive food for around the base.
