Frequently Asked Questions
Do buffs stack if I eat multiple dishes?
Buffs of the same exact type do not stack. The last dish you eat overwrites the previous buff of that type. Always pick one "main" meal and one "backup" meal with completely different stats.
Does ingredient order matter in the cooking pot?
No. Order is ignored. The cooked dish simply inherits the highest value per buff type across both ingredients.
How much bonus do Golden Vegetables give?
One golden vegetable guarantees a Rare meal (+25% to all base stats). Two golden vegetables guarantee a Rare meal with an additional hidden multiplier (totaling +40% to base stats).
