Thread: Fixing the Chef Class in Two Steps

I am not a chef, but I feel your pain, and have a thought on an easy fix.

First: Make food/drink palatable (right now I can't eat anything, though I am not full).

Second: Multiply the duration on all food buffs by 10. Duration includes both stat buff and "filling" effects.



Now, wasn't that easy? We'd all be drinking our butts off if we could get good and toasted for an hour or three. The way it is, foods fill the same niche as drugs, but less effectively (though without drawback). Give food a doctor-buff-esque duration and capacity to stack (which doc buffs can't) and you've got a niche all your own.

maybe not to 10 times the duration, but basically this will do it. I'm not a chef, but you're absolutely right to wish your profession to be able to make buffs at least half as good as those of the docs.


Chefs cannot heal poison, resurrect or do anything alike.

1: Open up the database. Start going through 130 items and start changing values. Lots of them. Do all the double checking.


2: Watch it break the game somehow. Food might not be able to be eaten any more at all. Or an accidentle mistype gives us an item with 1000 minutes of a buff. Or gives a buffer overflow somehow causing server lags and slowdowns or negative buffs.(You ever get disease while buffed? Not pretty when you die)
