[dev1242] Revamping Food and Medicine

[Tempestmoon]

Everything on the post sounds good... But Either I missed something big or it's not there.... What about actually showing what each food provides as a boost?

SE please make sure you display in the description what each foods effect is. That is the real issue and why food is not used widely.

There's something there about the duration, although it's not really clear regarding the exact mechanism for showing what food and medicines do. I guess it's the pop-up help?

Using Item Help will display the actual effects of the item (enhanced parameters, duration, reuse delay, and so on).

All food items provide experience point bonuses.

FINALLY! A reason for me to eat food!

Also:

* Features are under development and subject to change or postponement.

Hm...looks like someone better get mad about this before it's too late...

The animations look like they'll include a graphical representation for the items themselves.

It's kind of funny that they'd choose a can rather than a canteen for the drink animation.

Litter. Litter Everywhere.

Alchemists and Culinarists will get mad money from patch 1.21 and on.

The effect of eating ingredient items (such as raw meat and fish, fruits, and other unprocessed foods) will be changed. Eating such items will only grant an experience point bonus.

I hope I'm reading this right and that the bonus is to experience points gained for a time and not a bonus of experience points themselves. Otherwise we're going to have a bit of an issue here....

Edit: I am glad though that with the medicine reforms they're not turning the game into a potion chugging contest. Strong, short-term bonuses with long cooldowns. I approve.

It'll give you a bonus, like Guardian's Aspect does for leves (I assume, only not as much obviously), or those gathering/crafting manuals you can buy with Company Seals. That section you quoted is just saying that eating ingredients will ONLY give you an experience point bonus, as opposed to a prepared dish which gives the experience point bonus as well as a stat boost.
