Food
Food refers to items that can be consumed for temporary health, stamina, and Eitr boosts. A player can consume up to three different types of food at any given time for a combined increase in buff strength. The strength of the buff decreases uniformly until it vanishes once the food is fully digested. Food buffs have variable durations and decrease rates. Players cannot eat more than one of the same type of food until the previously consumed food item is at least partially digested, indicated by a flashing icon in the status panel. Consuming the same type of food refreshes the strength and duration of the buff.
Although starvation is not possible, food provides valuable buffs to both the maximum and regeneration rates for health and stamina. Since a player can have only three types of food active simultaneously, it is crucial to select the food types consumed based on the planned activities. For instance, one should consume foods with higher stamina buffs during exploration or resource gathering, and foods that provide higher health and health regeneration for dungeons and boss fights.
The combination of food types consumed for challenging combat encounters also depends on the player’s preferred approach to combat. Maximum health is essential for effective shield use due to its link to maximum Stagger capacity. Players preferring to exclusively dodge attacks will benefit from maximizing their stamina, while those who favor magic in combat will benefit from maximizing their Eitr.
The color of the fork symbol in the top right corner of each food item’s inventory icon indicates the stat it buffs more significantly: a red fork denotes a health-oriented food, a yellow fork signifies a stamina-oriented food, a blue fork indicates an Eitr-oriented food, while a white fork implies an equal buff to any increased stats.
