Mythical Food Recipe

Dracane

I have thought about the possibility of Zenimax adding a mythical food recipe that can be obtained like other mythicals.

Like the others, it comes with strong benefits but either a curse or a requirement that encourages you to play risky.
The dish would feature all relevant stats in the strength of green quality dishes. (which comes with the highest value for each individual stat.)
For example, a green magicka food grants exclusively 6048 magicka and a green stamina regeneration drink 604 magicka.

I am terrible with names, but since Cyrodiil being a likely next chapter location, it could relate to Ayleids. So Ancient... Ayleid..... Plate?

Ancient Ayleid Plate :
Increase Max Health by 6608, Max Magicka and Max Stamina by 6048. (Either leave it at that or to make it mythical and justify a harsher curse:)
Increase Health Recovery by 660, Magicka Recovery and Stamina Recovery by 604.

Since it must be ensured that it does not become the clearest choice for pve and pvp, the most efficient, albeit boring curse would be a 20% cost increase or so or an increase in damage taken.

To make the antiquity system more relevant, a new orange quality ingredient would be added alongside this, called Ancient Spice. Which just like Indeko, can be found as random bonus loot during digging. So a recipe for this could look something like this:
1 Ancient Spice, 3 Perfect Roe, 10 Bervez Juice, 10 Frost Miriam and maybe, if you feel very toxic, 1 Aetherial Dust.

No matter how it would be done, I would find a mythical recipe fascinating. What does everyone else think?

I really like this idea - would be interested to see how it could be implemented in a "balanced" way. I like your suggestions re: curse etc.

Love this idea! +1 from me!

It would be very interesting! Recipe could be made from fragments like mythicals now. Like 1 piece found from looting food barrels in any zone, one piece from fishing, one piece from interaction in some garden/farm-like place, one from mobs that also drop meat. Ancient spice idea is just great!

Kiss-Curse effects on food are certainly interesting. We already kind of have a system like that with Alchemy, but having a potion with negative effects doesn't come with any benefits that would make it worth it and the negative effects can be removed with the snakeblood passive so it's kind of pointless. But what didn't work for potions might just work for food.

Malacath's Garlic Onion Bean Chili: Adds X000 stamina, X000 health but you cannot enter stealth due to your bad breath and flatulence giving you away at all times. (This food is considered a Mythic item and cannot be consumed while wearing a mythic item. Similarly the active buff is removed if a Mythic item is equipped while the buff is active.)

That is something I did not even think about. If they would even allow its consumption with another mythical item equipped.

I am happt to see the positive replies though.
