Hi everyone,

The "Rationer" Champion Star was updated in PC patch v6.3.8 to only provide a duration bonus to stat-altering foods and drinks. This Champion Star was never intended to affect the duration of such foods and drinks, and we apologize for inadvertently missing this patch note.

In practical terms, this means it will no longer extend the duration of EXP-boosting Ambrosia drinks or Alliance Skill-boosting War Torte foods. It will still provide additional duration for foods and drinks that have a stat-focused component, such as Hissmir Fish-Eye Rye. Note that the "Gourmand" and "Connoisseur" Provisioner passive skills will still increase the duration of all foods or drinks, respectively, including Ambrosias and War Tortes.

The tooltip states it works with ANY food or drink. Since Ambrisia is in fact a drink, it means it should work. Mythic and Aetherial Ambrosia doesnt come cheap. You decided to up the CP from 810 to a whoopinh 3600 (!!). Without xp scrolls/drink it takes years to get that high. So imho Ambrosia drinks should get the added time when using the Rationer star. ANY drink, so yes, it should definately apply to Ambrosia as well. It doesn't state anystat altering foods/drinks, now does it?

All that shows is that the tooltip is bugged and needs to be fixed.

Metalfyre

Maybe, but if Connaiseur makes it applicable to add time to Ambrosia, then so should Rationer imho.

How convenient that it was never meant to work on them now that theres a bug associated with it.

In reality it's probably something too complicated to fix and instead of fixing it they just disabled it lol.

It sounds like P2W. This decision makes absolutely no sense. If connoisseur adds time to Aetherial Ambrosia, then so should Rationer imho. Not only that these recipes use the same expensive materials. The crafted version of the drink should at least be just as powerful and last just as long as the crown version. Otherwise, it's pay 2 win.

So, because of this change I'll deslot rationer. Like many of the other champ points which can be slotted, they're either too weak or useless. I have no reason to level champ points anymore, since I can only slot 4 of each and the majority add little to no no value to my gameplay.

To be honest you got about 1/3 of the champ point buffs only half way correct and the rest are mostly meh and rubbish. There's a lot of room for improvement in the champ point system as it stand now. Adding this ambrosia buff back to rationer would be a small start.
