Provisioning Update

Theegoliath

As a lot of us are probably planning for the new provisioning overhaul, and possibly trying to prep our inventories, guild stores, and crafting accordingly. Can any information be released reguarding the specific changes?

Will we have to wait for patch notes for the pts in January to give us more specific details?

You will have to wait for the PTS patch notes for any specifics.

I just hope that all the ingredients I currently keep stockpiled (and are the main source of my inventory woes) that will no longer be used retain some sort of value so I can at least vendor them.

But it would be SUPER nice if, at least a week in advance of the update, they would put out a complete list of all the recipes and what ingredients they will now use. Then even if they refuse to assign a value to all the now-useless ingredients we will still have a chance to get rid of what we can ahead of time.

If you have watched the recent game play clips of the Justice System, you will see some of the new Provisioning items being stolen. I think one of them showed lemons, for instance. So be prepared for new items in your inventory.

It remains to be seen if old items will still be available. You should not assume they will be available; but that remains unknown at present. I recommend using or selling all of your low level ingredients and consumables or offloading them onto a mule character. The inventory space will need to come from somewhere and low level Provisioning items are a prime place to start.

While they did say that ingredients would be reduced in number (like removing Plump Worms and Maggots) and new things might be added, the old ingredients would still have use in the new recipes. Possibly they will make it so you can have a choice between one or more proteins, one or more vegetables, one or more stocks etc to make a recipe. So we could use say Goat Meat or Shanks to make a stew.

I'd understood that there might be some sort of conversion system (turn in old items for new).

Hopefully this will be the case as they said it's going to be "streamlined". Maybe the new recipes will be "meat" stew, and you get to chose said meat. This would be great.

reften

it will be a secret because, like FCs, they don't want people stocking up on stuff.

I'm just keeping absolutely everything right now...

I'm not sure what will happen to old ingredients, but I'll be happy to see fewer of them. I'm now leveling an alt through AD and finding even more ingredients...

Curragraigue

Didn't the guy working on provisioning say that current stuff would still be usable after the provisioning update in a recent ESO Live? I can't remember whether he was talking about ingredients or already made products though.

abigfishy

There will be a big cry if tomatoes are suddenly worth 1 gold and can only be vendored however will anyone really miss their aged meat? Whatever happens it will happen on the PTS first in this case and we will be able to use up everything we have.

I clearly remember something about cutting the number of ingredients in half, so they are converting ingredients, but I also remember something about making some items "stale".

I believe they cut down the amount of different incredients which were for instance grapes. So that in future we might only have one type of grapes, one type of cheese, fat ...

It would be nice if they simply converted the items already in your inventory that will now be obsolete into ingredients that are useable. That would definitely be the best solution to my mind.

My guess is that they will release higher level recipes, which entails new ingredients. By doing that they can bypass player stocking, and avoid devaluing that stock at the same time.

Kolache

From what I read I'm expecting current ingredients to remain usable for legacy recipes while only new ingredients can be harvested, (and used by the new recipes that are coming).

If the moon sugar biscuits go then this one will lose all hope for life!

Rightfully so, they have released hour and a half long youtube clips explaining the justice system and champion system. They have also answered questionson eso live and put out more precise info, respectively. But as for provisioning, which people use to make there in game gold, and have horded in there banks and alts, they have not released any info other then "a complete overhaul". Very little other info is know... Transparency?

If the hops and stuff that I have destoryed or selled in guild store for 50g a stack, suddenly will be worth loads of gold, I will be a little

^Confirmed in Eso Live 8. V10 recipes are coming out.

OrphanHelgen

Looks like the ingredients are new as well, so no need for stacking.

OK, I can get behind the boiled creme treat and the risotto, since there were loads of variations prior to globalisation (local recipes in other countries that show people had similar ideas about food).

But TACOS, correct me if I'm wrong, but only Mexico had those, now if it had been Burritos, then fair enough, several countries came up with similar recipes, but Tacos.

SantieClaws

Hmm the same people who are worried about people celebrating Xmas in game are going to have the mother of all tizzy fits when they see that taco recipe. If they had just called it corn rolls then it might not have been as bad.

Wow, look at the numbers, how MUCH health/stamina/magicka will be increased! Is this a true picture? By now, all recipes are adding just a few hundred per attribute, not a few thousand.

Qyrk

@Raygee,

Considering that our attributes will be multiplied roughly 10x, then the figures on the new recipes looks just about right (roughly 10x)

You might wanna try some Black-Briar Mead first to calm down

Theegoliath

Will food buffs stack in the coming patch? I havnt had time yet to watch the latest eso live and see if they put any info out on provisioning update.

Zorgon_The_Revenged

There's something wrong with my blue food, I don't seem to be getting the full hit from the magicka or stamina stated in the tool tips. I guess they forgot to update the tooltips in the last update.........or maybe I'm just a bad cook.

When champion comes out the are adding 10x the numbers to everything. So all your stats will be multiplied by 10. So like the tacos would be the same as 315 Magicka and 288 Stamina.
