Fresh Mead

[Diegovog]

Super cool update on beverage buffs.

I just want to point out the Fresh Mead bonus of +2 to all skills could easily synergize with quarterbreakers and make it easier for them. So I would like to suggest +2 to all skills but -2 to OL and DT.

At least now it doesn’t matter that they don’t stack.

Hi!

Do you believe it is too long? Too short?
Timers can be adjusted, we are getting a feel for them currently!

This has been the case for a while with the mead, we can look into this and check if a reduction is required on player quarters.
Thank you for the feedback!

Waaay tooo short.
Even on farming we can spend 5 min just for chating. And with 1h~ duration on fesh pots... Welp. It can take a lot more time just to reach our final travel point.

To be clear the 30min duration is regardless of fresh, fresh only effects the strength of the buff, the 1.5 hour duration is for using in a area designated as a tavern, like the hub.

[DM MoonMoon]

1.5h if drunk in tavern,
30mins if not

Strength is down to if its "Fresh" or not.

30mins should be enough time to make a campfire outside the dungeon, ready to go in!
You can also rebuff at a campfire! This is intended to make herbalist a good choice to bring with you

Why? We dont need that to break into yer houses now... Quarterbreakers who know what they are doing are laughing at this.

That mead has no bearing whatsoever on if a quarterbreaker dedicated to their craft can get into yer home. None whatsoever. I can show you my collection Redacted and guarantee you not one drop of mead has ever been drank.

I don't use it either, personally. it's only nice to have.

I really like these changes overall. Though I think the durations could easily be doubled. 1.5 hours is... okay-ish. But it will often not be long enough for writs and other ventures.
I think all Arelith players have made the experience that everything takes twice as long as you expect it to take. If I drink this and set out to do a writ with people I'll often check my buff durations. I'd rather not be rushed and take my sweet time. Especially since organizing something with others typically takes a lot of time organizing, getting supplies, buffing up, checking if everyone has the portal, finding the place you need to go to, waiting for someone that's late, waiting for someone that had to go afk, etc...

Given that the idea of these changes seems to be to encourage folks to meet up in a tavern and prepare together for an adventure, I feel like this could easily last 3 hours without becoming overpowered. Otherwise you have to rush through the content to make use of the buff. Which strikes me as the opposite of what this is intended to do.

Can also have your friendly pack mule Strength brute carry a cooking pot for you.
Probably makes for cool roleplay to have a 5 minute pause for OOC things and campfire roleplay before continuing.

No need to carry a pot, when you can just carry firewood (0.1 lbs each) and make a fire to cook with
