Food & Consumables

Characters begin with three food slots. The Dessert Stomach skill unlocks a fourth. Only one effect from each food type can be active at once, so variety matters more than eating four foods with similar names.

Choose by purpose

• Meat: maximum health and, on later meals, damage or defense support.
• Fruit: health regeneration.
• Vegetables and grains: attribute, stamina, or role-specific support depending on the recipe.
• Sweets: usually stamina regeneration; some recipes support mana.
• Eggs and prepared meals: mixed benefits that can efficiently cover multiple needs.

Practical loadouts

For general exploration, use one health-oriented food, one regeneration food, and one stamina or damage food. With Dessert Stomach, add a fourth effect that addresses the region: frost resistance, mana, ranged damage, or another non-duplicating food type.

Consumables to keep stocked

• Bandages or health potions.
• Shroud Survival Flasks for long Shroud routes.
• Antidotes or regional resistance items when the destination calls for them.
• Wisp of Light or torches for dark interiors.
• Repair Kits only for expeditions where returning to a Workbench is impractical.

Refresh food before entering a dungeon, not after the first fight. A base kitchen is preparation infrastructure, not decoration.
