Why is blue food better than purple?

    The lower quality the food, the more it gives to specific stats but has way less duration. Blue food is usually better for those that only really use 2 stats, but it lasts half as long as Purple does.

    unless it is one of the orzaga recipes --- they last two hours.

    Depends on how you look at it. I could say purple is better because it give 4000+ to 3 stats for about 12000+ total stats while blue only gives about 5k to 2 stats which is about 10k. So 12k>10k = purple better? Dosent work that way haha.

    Depends on what you need for your build. Do u need max health? Max stam? Max mag? Or just 2 out of 3? Or all 3? Depending on what you need, your build would favour blue or purple stat food/drink.

    Gee, I tried to explain it in somewhat similar fashion and all I got was "Okay know it all". :p

    I use purple as a mag/sorcerer with no attribute points in stamina as the 5k extra stam helps with blocking and dodging, my health is like 32k and mag 30k so the stam boost is a lot more helpful.

    I so agreed. I only make the blue one for health and stamina, since it yields more than the current purple one I have. My DK's majicka is fine, so, I prefer to have the higher stam from the blue one. However, if I ever run into a purple one that yields higher in all 3 category than the blue one.. that would be something, wouldn't it. Heck, there are even some gold food on the guild stores that yields less than the blue one. What is up with that?!

    With how break-free works (around 5k stamina per break-free, with no reductions), the extra 4000 stamina from purple food get me an extra 2 break-frees over the course of a fight until I am out of stamina.

    This means (ideally) I can go for 30 seconds (without using potions) and still break free, whereas with blue food without a stamina component I can only go for 18 seconds until OOS.

    Both situations factor in 500 stamina regen.

    Obviously in PvP being able to break CC is far more important than 1000 magicka and health.

    If you're playing PVE, and you're either a stamina or a magicka DPS, blue food is always better. No ifs or buts. Hybrid builds don't work in this game for being a PVE dps. Purple food might be preferred for tanks, but I'm not even sure about this one.
