Exp. food bug

Eyeduke

Hi, i have noticed, that i have a probem with exp. food. I have all crafting skill lines maxed. I also have the rationer perk maxed and slotted. Other foods and drinks have that accounted for in their duration. But when i take exp. food or drinks(ambroisia, war torte) i get just 50 mins of buff time instead of 80 mins. So when i take the buff, it basically doesn't take my rationer perk into account. When flames of ambition launched, it was still working properly, so it must have appeard at a later time.

I don't think this is a bug.
It was in one of the patch notes after they launched new cp that they did not intend for that cp to affect XP gain.

Updated the Rationer Champion Star 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.
Developer Comment:
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.

Apparently it wasn't intended and exp pots are not "any food or drink" even thought their tooltip clearly says they are drinks (and provisioning passives still buff them so... ZOS loves to be inconsistent).

Ok, thanks for the info. Gonna check with my friends, to see if their ambrosia lasts now the normal 50 min, or still 80.
