Water-Stained Psijic vs Clockwork Citrus Filet

    Question is: Why now gold food doesnt require perfect roe to craft? This is a big let down for magicka, unless this new reagent costs almost 2k a piece, the clockwork food is massively more expensive.

    Umm, Gold Food doesn't NECESSARILY require a perfect roe to craft. There has been gold food since Orsinium: Orzorga's Smoked Bear Haunch Hissmir that didn't require perfect roe. Don't expect every gold food to require that ingredient. Yes it might be different between mag and stam here but to say that 'gold food has always required perfect roe to craft' is false.

    @Qyrk The smoked bear recipe does need ambrosia, just checked it. Hissmir whatever is the only one i recall that doesnt.

    As I just noticed, its actually 4 stat food usually needs roe, and those are usually gold, this new one apart

    I'll do a straw man argument for this sake alone: Umm, Gold Food doesn't NECESSARILY require a perfect roe to craft. There has been gold food since Orsinium: Orzorga's Smoked Bear Haunch Hissmir that didn't require perfect roe. Don't expect every gold food to require that ingredient.

    Also im not worried on advantages, as I play both mag and stam, Im raising an honest question about the simple logic in provisioning>
    Oh, my apologies if i was mistaken ...

    .. but to me this looked like a thread pushed by the sudden fear of facing a new (perceived or true) difficulty/disadvantage introduced by a change in the game. Sentiment that is probably behind the creation of half the threads in this forum. ;)
    My intention was to bring attention to this issue by some ZOS people
    This issue ? which issue ? Do you have a crystal ball or have you built a mathematical model to predict where the cost of materials needed to craft this food will stabilize ? :)

    Issue in the meaning of "situation", not "problem".

    Unless I were min maxing I wouldnt bother with gold food. Its too expensive given the materials made, where as you can suppliment health recovery (mine is literally 200 and it has never gimped me from content) with a damn potion if you really REALLY have too.

    I'd like to know why Dubious only needs basic materials to craft but Witchmother's (the equivalent mag-based recipe) needs Berevez Juice. That's never seemed right, yet nothing has ever been done about it. Why does magicka get shafted on food recipe requirements? Either make Dubious require Berevez or drop the Berevez requirement for Witchmother.

    was fishing ocean in Summerset yesterday and caught 6 bottles - can't remember the name on bottles, but i got powdered mother of pearl in each bottle, along some new mats.

    It took me 3 years of fishing every day to finally get my first perfect roe. One ocean fish in Cyrodiil took me over 10,000 bait to finally get and yes, i know it takes worms to get ocean fish. This game hates me.
    FYI - There is no such thing as 'night capping' in a world wide MMO.
    FYI - There was no paid Beta. When they launched the game the Beta was over, even if you don't think it was.
    FYI - It's B2P not F2P. There is a difference.
    FYI - It doesn't take any player skill to mash keys or buttons in this game. The ones that stay alive longer have the better internet connection and speed.
    FYI - The game is not broken, it still works. It just has 'bugs' that need to be fixed.
    Balance is a "Bad" thing.

    Example: There were hundreds of Jedi and only two Sith in Star Wars. The Jedi wanted, "Balance in the Force" and they got it. Now there are only two Jedi and two Sith.
