Everyone knows that it sucks after some level, to restore hp and sp of character
because it takes too long, right? Summed with the bonfire bug that happens to some players
like me, it is indeed annoying.
So I brought a good idea that can be used as alternative for regeneration, the Foods and Drinks.
Foods and Drinks are to be used when the character is sitdown, resting.
They can never be used while in combat, but can be very usefull out of it.
What about your character eating a Sandwich, causing you to have a high hp recovery per second?
Or drinking a Tea, to cause a high sp recovery per second?
Basic foods and drinks could be bought on a npc in the town, while the same npc may sell
also recipes to make some kinds of foods, for a low amount of silver coins, or they can be
dropped by hunting monsters, or inside a chest.
Differently from equipments, food recipes are not destroyed after crafting once, but after crafting
the food 5~20 times.
You are about to participate of a boss fight and the health or mana is too low?
Why not eat some food or drink something? It will regenerate fast and you can
do the boss fight asap.
Also, after you eat a food or drink something, you will need to wait at least 5~15 minutes before you can eat something again, or you can end up throwing up, causing damage on hp or sp, plus having a chance
of giving a debuff that gives a small penalty to most statuses depending on the food.
The effect of the food and drink, could also be boosted by bonfire buff, causing it to be more efficient,
and also more confortable.
Also, depending on the meal you make, you could also get some buff that gives status boost that can be helpfull for 15 minutes.
So, you are about to face the boss in a instance, right? Your team is exausted, why not
place a pan with food so all party members can pick up food and boost health and mana regen?
Now your party members are good as new and ready to face the boss.
If you thought about squires on this part, then I guess the idea could go for them instead.
The crafting of the foods and drinks should not be as ridiculous as it is on Granado Espada Online,
and should not even be for very high level players, it should be acessible for everyone, and also
could make some items, like meats I found once on the fields, or fruits, be usefull.
