Question about food stuffs

[Sivle]

Hiyas, I'm a tailor so I'm somewhat out of my league here, but I have a very simple question (which also might be seen as a suggestion). I'm one of those bad people, since I am a priest class, that primarily uses summoned food & drink, but I would gladly pay for food stuffs if I understood them better. So here's the question, is there any table that shows the duration of particular items? I know that this might be difficult to put together and hopefully this will be fixed by the uber-patch coming down the pike, but it would be incredibly useful and informational for people like me who are clueless and do not want to spend 5sp per item on something that has a short duration.

Cheerio,

Look for items that are delectable/refreshing. They last the longest.

Rule of thumb is you eat what's harvested from where you're getting xp. since you're 26 you're looking for things harvested in the Steppes/Nektulos.

Look for food that is made with the items you get there - Fayberries, Oolong Tea, Blue Succulent(Tequila) Mountain Coffee.

Until they fix the descripts I'd stay away from Mixed Drinks with the fancy names... since they could be of any level and you'd never know unless you had a prov to ask or a computer to look things up. I ran across a 40-something who paid 17s/ea for Halas Heaters.. a lvl 7 beer. I felt so bad for the guy I gave him a few apple juice that I had on me to tide him over till he could get back to town.

I've also seen people resale vendor beverages at homemade prices.. which is really crappy IMO. :mad:

those items made with fayberries, cinnamon, tequila, oolong tea or steppes mountain coffee beans have a duration of 1 3/4 hours if they're pristine (aka refreshing/delectable).

you're gonna get more mana/tick too.

Also theoretically some time this month they will patch so that you will be able to examine food to get a con color to see if it is appropriate for you, and also a duration.

It's part of the now nearly legendary "Big Patch."
