Description

adds 2 Attack Power, adds 1 Stamina, and adds 1 Intellect. Each tooltip requires 10 seconds of eating and lists a 15-minute buff including 5% extra experience from kills. All three recipes require Cooking 1.

Effect

This is an early bonus for normal leveling and killing mobs. Choose a food based on your stat and reagent cost. Raw ingredients and ordinary vendor food do not automatically grant it.

How to get it

  1. Learn Cooking and a suitable recipe: from training, or the and recipes linked in the sources.
  2. Cook at a suitable fire or buy the prepared food. Smallfish uses one raw fish. The egg and bat wing recipes also use .
  3. Stay seated and eat for at least 10 seconds. Check the Well Fed buff and its 5% kill XP line.
  4. Refresh the 15-minute buff as needed. Do not assume a quest turn-in bonus or that eating all three stacks them.

Further conditions

  • The technical record contains other values. Without a gameplay measurement, we use the food tooltip instead of promising hidden quest XP.
  • The image below is a presentation slide. It illustrates the bonus, not the availability of every demo recipe under the current cap.
