eating and drinking things, do the affects stack?

user0666

Ok I always collect drinks from around the world whenever I can. I do this because I like to drink something that enhances my stamina recovery for 30 minutues before going into battle.

If I were to drink something that boosts stamina recovery, then drink something that boosts health, with those effect stack or did I just waste the drink that boosts stamina recovery?

If it stacks, does that mean if I drink three drinks back to back that boost my stamina recovery 20% each for 30 minutes, does that mean I just boosted my stamina recovery by 60% for 30 minutes?

They do not stack (you are wasting recovery, in your example). But you can get higher quality food/drinks that provide several stat boosts at once.

Green food/drink/potion has 1 effect; blue food/drink/potion has 2 effects; and purple food/drink/potion has 3 effects. You need to start finding blue or purple recipes, they're available at all levels of the game. Daily rewards also provide similar consumables at lower values than what can be crafted.

If you level provisioning, you can make them yourself. Otherwise, you can purchase them directly from guild traders (and if you do level, you can purchase the recipes there too, or loot them).

Took me a while before I figured out they didn’t stack. I used to spend a minute eating/drinking one of everything in my inventory before I went into a delve or dungeon. 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Food and drink will not stack, except for ambrosia.

This is because ambrosia counts as an experience scroll, therefore scrolls and ambrosia don't stack.

Sadly no, so you really want to be eating or drinking the blue or purple foods/drinks. Those will have multiple stat boosts.
