Food Drink Buff is Incorrect, Stats Actually Wrong

TheNeckerCube · August 27

PC/NA

Food Orzorga's Smoked Bear Haunch tooltip doesn't match buffs indicated in character screen. See screenshot.

Apparently only affecting one of my characters (Templar in screenshot) and not others. I also asked a friend and bug not affecting him either. I also tried different foods, see below.

So I just did the math and the food is actually not giving the correct bonuses. On PC/NA.

The character screen food/drink tooltips have been bugged visually for years. They often do not agree with the inventory tooltips or the stats actually given.

Can you write out the stats for your templar here showing it’s bugged in more than just UI? If it can be proven to be more than a UI issue, there will be more pressure to fix it.

mine dont add up ethier stat of food in bag "Increases Max health by 4620, Max stamina and Magicka by 4250, and health recovery by 462"

and stat of food in character active effects stats (c)
"Increase Max health by 3937, Max stamina and magicka by 3622, and health recovery by 393"

no food ui/character stats
health 33,676
magic 15,087
stamina 19,674

with food ui/character stats

health 39,035
magic 19,422
stamina 24,009

I actually get from the food this much
health 5,359
magic 4,335
stamina 4,335

when it really should read
health 37,613
magic 18,709
stamina 23,296

so I get more than the stats showing in the character stats

You’re getting 2% extra stam and mag. Do you have points in Undaunted Mettle?

You have 16% extra health. Are you also benefitting from Juggernaut?

Wearing 7 heavy with Undaunted Mettle and Juggernaut both maxed would produce those exact bonuses, but there may be other ways to achieve them.

The food is giving the correct amount of stats. The buff in the character sheet is incorrect. The stats added by food buffs are affected by passives like Undaunted Mettle and Juggernaut, which is why you're seeing more than the tooltip value added to your stat pools.

For the most part, I've come to the conclusion that I am receiving the minimum stats buff from food/drink albeit the buff indicated in the character screen is incorrect. Thank you all for your input and for double checking the stats!

Nope. There is still an issue. I used Jewels of Misrule and received MORE health than Orzorga's Smoked Bear Haunch.

OK, something weird is definitely going on ... I just checked again by wasting a Jewels of Misrule and eating Orzorga's Smoked Bear Haunch, and the issue is resolved. There was an issue because last night, I was using Orzorga's Smoked Bear Haunch and my HP was only 30.9K, then today, I ate a Jewels of Misrule and my HP became 32.4K which is clearly more than 30.9K from last night when I was using Orzorga's Smoked Bear Haunch hence why I felt there was an issue ... but just right now, literally this moment, I replaced my Jewels of Misrule with a fresh Orzorga's Smoked Bear Haunch, and I have slightly more HP at 32.8K. Shrugs.
