Food

Chelister

Hey everyone

So I've seen everyone running around with food giving 5k health, stamina & magicka which is quit a lot

I was wondering whether how to get such food

I am CP lvl 370 & still don't use any food which might seem off track

Do you make food yourself or how can u get it? cuz it seems like everyone got so many of it, people give me stacks of 40/50 food easily when I ask

Thx

Purple recipe/food to increase the three stats.

I do. Blue food to increase health and magicka. If you are a magicka DD or a healer (as I am), you usually only need to increase health and magicka with a blue recipe/food. Same for stamina DD, you usually only need to increase health and stamina. For tank, I do not really know, but purple recipe/food seems interesting if you use some magicka skills to taunt or CC (like Talons from the DK).

You just need to find or buy a recipe (from guild store) and find or buy ingredients (from NPC or guild store). With the Provisioning passives, you can increase your food duration by twenty minutes (Gourmand). Provisioning is easy to improve.

I buy ingredients from guild store (because I am a lazy cat) and craft my own food.

u can make it urself from recipes that u get from containers or guild vendors or u can buy the food pre made from guild vendors

Level Provisioning and youll be able to make your own.
Put some skill points into the hireling to get the purple tri-food ingredients if you want that

Why wouldn't you use food or drink? Even purple food is relatively cheap given that it lasts 2.4 hours and gives you huge amount of benefit. You can also easily switch out food/drink as need depending on the situation. Need all stats for a tough fight: use purple. Need max DPS: use Blue. Need regen in PVP: use drinks or the hybrid combinations.

I ran a dungeon this week with a CP300 healer with 12k health that refused to use food doing a vet dungeon. I don't really understand why not...(to be fair he didn't only died a few times).

You can either buy food from traders, "borrow" it from friends or just level up Provisioning yourself. It is by far the cheapest and easiest crafting skill to learn.

You are right, it is a lot off track. But I'm intrigued, how a cp370 don't uses any food? Anyway, at least you came here asking for advice.

Is it me, or is something really broken here when someone at CP370 doesn't know the basics of the game, i.e. not knowing how provisioning works or it's benefits? This just might be a clue that the CP leveling system is just too easy, or that zos hasn't provided sufficient help/tutorials for newer players. At least OP had the good sense to seek forum help, but how many new players are advancing through the CP ranks blindly?

the max u can make is cp150 food, but that scales to cp160... as long as u have the ingredients for it and the passives in "Chef" ( which gives u 3 crafted food per 1 crafted ) u can make a ton... and u get the ingredients from open world from killing things, or hirelings or guild vendors
