Hi everyone,
After the Alchemy update we thought it would be a good time to add cooking to the game since they are related to each other. Our hero will finally be able to eat proper cooked meals.
There will be a new skill called cooking, governed by intelligence. Cooked food will have a lot better bonuses than uncooked food. Some of them will have ongoing major effects that lasts for several days. One low level example is “Well Fed: +2 Strength for 2 days” which will be granted by venison stew. Another one is for rangers: “Keen Eye: +2 Ranged Attack for 2 days” which will be granted by carrot soup.
It will be like potion crafting mechanics. Hero will learn new recipes with improving the cooking skill. If the hero has the necessary materials, the recipe will be available to cook. There will be a chance to cook excellent versions of the food as well.
We are thinking to add really powerful bonuses for the advanced food as the hero levels up his cooking skill. The idea is that investing in this skill will pay off at the battle and it will be economically viable as well. The hero will go hunting and then cook excellent food with what he hunts to earn significant riches and if a town is in need of food, that will be a cherry on top.
That’s all for now. Thanks for reading. May the tides bring you triumph!
