Description[]
Food is a necessary need for your Character's survival. Both food and water drain at a rate of 1.25% per minute.
To get food, one must collect ingredients from various Luminants or buy the food from vendors in certain places.
- Mushrooms, fruit and wheat are all very easy to get, as they are plentiful and various on both starter islands.
- In every season (except Winter), the player can find fruit on smaller trees and some bushes, which is an easy and safe source of nutrition.
- You can buy food from Lance Leshi, his brother (?), and The Meat Lord.
- Alternatively, you can turn in specific dishes that you cook to Chef Odiolavoro for some experience, although he is not a chef and should not be regarded as such.
Although you can eat the ingredients directly, certain ingredients or eating too many of one thing (i.e Browncaps) may cause vomiting, which leads to an immense decrease in thirst and hunger.
To cook food, one must be near a campfire.
- By combining ingredients together, the player can make various types of foods/drinks.
- Usually, 2-3 ingredients are needed to make a certain food recipe. (Mushroom Soup for example, requires two mushrooms of different types)
One needs food and drink to live, much like you. Without it, one will die a slow and painful death.
- When both the Thirst and Hunger bar reach zero, the health bar will slowly drain until it reaches half health. At this point, the Blood bar will be the next to go, and once that is gone, you quickly lose the rest of your health and die.
- With about 1/8 hunger left, healing from campfires is completely disabled.
- With about 1/8 thirst left, your vision becomes blurry, and your swing speed is lowered.
- Once you reach the point of no return, you are permanently knocked for the rest of your life (which is to say not long) and cannot be picked up until you've died. When you wake up, you'll have ?% of your Blood, Thirst and Hunger restored.
Food Boosts[]
Some foods fill a portion of your Hunger bar with a different color, known as Reinforced Hunger.
- Reinforced Hunger grants certain buffs, signified by a specially colored secondary bar on top of the normal Hunger bar until it's depleted.
- The type of boost can be identified by hovering over the differently colored bar.
- Different types of boosts will replace each other. Same types of boosts will stack in duration.
Boosts[]
- "You feel your wounds closing up..." This buff slightly increases the user's health regeneration speed.
- "You feel as though you could go longer without food..." This buff significantly decreases the user's starvation speed.
- "Your magic feels stronger..." This buff increases the user's mantra damage. (It possibly increases the effects of Enchants instead, needs confirmation)
- "Your weapons feel stronger..." This buff increases the user's melee damage.
- "You feel ether surging into you..." This buff increases the user's ether regeneration speed.
- "You feel quicker on your feet..." This buff increases your walking/running speed.
Food and their respective buffs can have their durations buffed by the Tavernkeep category of Talents.

Notes[]
- Alternatively, you can regain your Food, Thirst and Blood bars by gaining a Power Level or getting your Resonance.
- The 'Candied Fruit' only requires 1 of any fruit.
Trivia[]
General Trivia[]
- Every fruit, more or less, has a real-life counterpart.
- Redd = Orange
- Ongo = Apple
- Calabash = Calabash
- Plumfruit = Plum
- Pomar = Peach
- Pomar is the only fruit that will damage you.
- Pomar may represent a pineapple. Pineapples contain bromelain, which breaks down proteins (what most of your body is made out of) which is why they damage you.
- Alternatively, may also represent a mango. Mango skin contains urushiol oil, which causes a reaction to the body near identical of that to poison ivy which may be why they damage you.
- Mantra damage buff foods and Weapon damage buff foods provide around a 5% increase in damage.[1]
- Before the plates were added for most foods in a (supposed) shadow-update, the Cake model had no underside.
- According to Destroyman III, the strength buff the Megurger gives you is not from the food itself, but the concept.
- The Glazed Fish model is placed incorrectly on the hand compared to other plate dishes.
- Where did the garnish on the Omelettes come from? The world will never know.
- Sushi used to be unique, in that it was completely weightless. However this is no longer the case, as it has now been assigned 2 weight.
- Redd Juice is based on orange juice because a Redd is based on an orange from real life.
Bugs[]
- Rejoining after eating a food that grants you a buff will make the Reinforced Hunger bar's color default to Purple. (Purely visual, the effects can still be seen by hovering over it)
