These all look awesome. However, where is the max stamina and magic recovery or the Max stamina and stamina regen?

ZOS is making one sided recipes.

code65536 · July 2016

Well, the game is rather balanced in favor of stamina at the moment, so I'm fine with the foods being magicka-favored. Which also fits thematically for "witches"--note the presence of a vamp food, but not a werewolf food. Maybe in a future event, they'll have a set of recipes for werewolves and stamina users.

clocksstoppe · July 2016

Holy *** am I reading this correctly? Max magicka and magicka regen for 2 hours? Damn.

Cinnamon_Spider · July 2016

Are these quest rewards, or just looted? I can't wait to get a couple of them to try out.

I got two of them (one green and one blue) from the containers that bosses around the world drop.

DPShiro · July 2016

They look really nice!

code65536 · July 2016

They are looted. Each time you kill a boss (I was running around group dungeons), you get a Plunder Skull with a random piece of loot.

GilGalad · July 2016

Has anyone compared the scaled values to the actual cp150+ food?
I wonder if the legendary one will give more max magicka...

Shadesofkin · July 2016

I can think of a few reasons why I'd take the hit to my max health and magicka in exchange for only 3k each plus a Recovery boost

No reason to use the golden one unless you're a vamp.

Golden: 4575H + 4575M at CR160
Standard blue: 5395H + 4936M at CR160

Honestly, I don't see the point of making it less potent than a standard blue bi-stat recipe. It's quite a bit more expensive to make, and the only added benefit is a rather niche one for vampires. No need to nerf the stats on top of that.

@code65536 What is the drop rate like for the things inside the skull? I'm not looking forward to doing nothing but grind bosses in the hopes I get that gold recipe. $:\$

Max stamina and Magicka Recovery

. Me and you both know why we would love that recipe. Ive been asking for that recipe for so long.

It does seem like they are being pretty one sided with recipes though.

GreenSoup2HoT · July 2016

Double Bloody Mara Recipe. What happens when your a vampire and drink this?

Every skull that I've looted (I've looted 5) has had a recipe or motif chapter inside. There are 14 motif chapters and 9 recipes. Of those 5 skulls, I looted 2 blue recipes, 1 purple recipe, and 2 motif chapters. I don't know what the drop rate of the gold recipe is--whether it has the same drop chance as the others. I will need more data points to say anything more, but I don't feel like grinding bosses on the PTS.

I haven't actually looted the golden recipe yet. But from the description, I would assume that it would be equivalent to feeding on someone.

Nebthet78 · July 2016

Would be nice to see a +max health, + max stam and +stam recovery one to match the one for magicka they have.

Kammakazi · July 2016

Omfg that Max Magicka / Recovery and Max Health/Magicka / Recovery !!!!

alkodav · July 2016

Did anyone test the gold one? What influence on vampires?.. it's really not clear in description

opaj · July 2016

Another scaling question -- how do the Sweet Sanguine Apples compare to normal max-level green magicka food? I have one character who's on a strict diet of gorapple pie, but if she could eat apples instead and have fewer meals per day, that would be a boon to her calorie count. (By the Pits, this went weird fast.)

RDMyers65b14_ESO · July 2016

Wow, I am impressed. Gold recipe without extra expensive ingredients. But, as a PVPer, I wouldn't use it. I need my stage 4.

Ep1kMalware · July 2016

my only beef is that the max magica/recovery food seems a bit pi=owerful. All of it looks pretty magica based.

this is biased since I play stam characters, but they did fix my jabs finally, and we're getting velindreth's set, so that's damn cool.

I guess the main reason it bothers me is as a stam build 100% of your everything factors on stam, and maelstrom is so blatantly biased toward magica builds , we could use the extra resource mgmt for it.

another time, another dlc maybe. I do like that they added an effect for vampirism, that's prettt cool. I think it was due. I also like that they did it with gold food as to not cheapen the in-game route to feeding.

nicely done zos, these look very well done.

would be amazing in vmsa, the vicious ophidian set is incredible there, sadly it's resources on the lich crystals that do me in the end. I don't play a redguard.

I AGREE!! That's the first thing I noticed, that most of the recipe's were badly tilted toward Magicka with no comparable Staminia equivalents. @ZOS_GinaBruno, @ZOS_JessicaFolsom, would you please look into this?

luen79rwb17_ESO · July 2016

Awesome post, was eagerly waiting for this thread!

However, for this event, it does make sense to be heavy on the Magicka.

Ashtaris · July 2016

I agree for the event it makes sense, but that still doesn't make it fair for the stamina based users. I would give a left nut for a stam based recipe that gives base health, base stamina, and stamina recovery like the magicka users are getting with their Witchmother's Potent Brew Recipe.

ManDraKE · July 2016

So magika builds get the best food in the game and stam builds don't gey anything? common...

Maybe they'll be a Christmas event for stamina users. Santa's elves put in a lot of work making toys and they have to be loaded onto his sleigh somehow. That requires a lot of stamina.

code65536 · July 2016

Before people get too excited about the max health + max magicka + magicka recovery food...

Standard CR150 health/magicka blue food for a CR160 character: 5395 MH + 4936 MM for 1 hour.

New Health/Magicka/Recovery purple food for a CR160 character: 3192 MH + 3192 MM + 319 MR for 2 hours.

So you gain extra duration (*yawn*) and 319 magicka recovery... at the cost of 2203 max health and 1744 max magicka. That recovery is really nice, but it does come with a hefty opportunity cost.

ZOS, please stop reading...

I guess they should have done a special in-game event for the Olympics so they could have stamina recipes.

Ok, you can resume reading now, ZOS.

I think it's fair, magic lost a lot in the DB patch with shield nerfs+proxy nerf, they need something in return. Stam's already got so much as it is (and is only getting more next patch)
