Sorry, I know this is someone's baby.

But I just want a normal, same, can get a black coffee consistently at a place menu. Coffee beans to craft own are too big a pain to pin down IC.

I love the rotations, but they do need to slow down. Daily seems excessive, where as every 30 days (in-game) would make so much more sense.

This means the menu would change every 10 real life days.

I'm not sure if that's even possible, though, as they might be tied to the server resets.

It'd be neat if there was a way to affect what's supplied in the bars via either settlement resources or completing specific sailing trade writ thingies (I forget the name). So the idea would be that either the settlement is investing in imports for its local businesses or the sailors are increasing the available supply by going out and bringing back more of specific goods.

- "Well met sir! Might you fill a mug with your finest beverage for me!"
- "....."
- "I say good man, a fine elven wine would certainly quench this powerful thirst of mine!"
- "....."
- "Perhaps a fruity punch would hit the spot on this warm evening! Something with a parasol in it, perhaps?"
- "....."
- "Umm.. well.. what *do* you have?"
- "Beer."

I love the idea, but as someone who has spent way more time in in-game taverns than is healthy, I can assure it is tied to the server reset. Every reset, it rerolls.

I think a middle-ground could be struck here, though, simply by not rerolling coffee. Let coffee just be coffee. That's the drink that people buy primarily for mechanical reasons and the source of stacking woes. I have never had people disappointed that their tea or ale won't stack.

(Also going to add: it would be great if the Eagle could more consistently get wine and mead rather than half a dozen ales every day. Stanrael claims he's all about the 'authenticity' of an elven tavern to the point of not hiring half-elves, but he's serving dwarf beer?)

Maybe, just maybe, it's nice if all things we need aren't available all the time. Maybe you need to look for them. Stock up. Trade with other players. Or do with our and roll your caffeine addiction withdrawal into your character.

I will say I'm very concerned about the chocolate milk imported from western Faerun. How much magic went into preserving it!?

That's how cultures get from Faerun to Arelith.
