Cooking > BaseEffects

This page contains data of the effects you get when making a dish with only one ingredient. You will have to "critically evaluate" the dish (minimum 7 gastro required). Please ensure you have cooking level 3 when doing tests here (could make a cooking leve 1 page too..).

It appears that the values for food items may change with global usage. Some items have been evaluated on multiple dates - see Historical data. If you update an entry here, please move the old entry to that page for study.

For cheap ingredients, a recipe with seven of that item will give you directs stats, but zero duration.

For more expensive ingredients, you can obtain similar results by using 6_Honey_+_1_Expensive. Write down the actual observed data and indicate the type of the test in the Notes column.

To get from the 6_Honey+1_Expensive to the app. real stat, multiply with 126/19, or 0.150 or app. 1/7.

A better way might be to use this recipe: Add the expensive ingredient together with 1 oil, 1 honey, 1 mutton, 1 coconut meat, 1 camel meat, 1 camel milk. Then take the result, subtrace 1 dex and 2 fox, and multiply by 7/3. That should give you a fair indication of the potency.

Ingredients with only negative stat values are marked in italics.

Mixing ingredients

The below formula comes very closed to the observed data. But there is still some ⁺/_-1 discrepencies, which I can't explain with rounding. - Cappu.

The numbers above are unfortunately not the effects we see when cooking. The resulting effect is smaller. Each ingredient contributes by a number roughly equal to

[number from table above] * ([amount of largest ingredient] / [total amount of ingredients] * 0.67 + 0.33) * [amount of ingredient] / [amount of largest ingredient].

Or, in shorter perhaps more readable form P = P₀*^L/_L0*(²/₃^L₀/_I+¹/₃), L₀=top layer, L=ingredient layer, I=no of ingredients, P₀potency from table above

Or, written out with an example. Let's assume that we are looking at an ingredient with a base effect/potency of 38 in the 2nd layer in a recipe with 3 layers. Let us further assume that the recipe has a total of 10 ingredients. Then

• First, take the top layer and divide by the number of ingredients. In this case, 3/10 = 0.3
• Multiply this with 2/3, and add 1/3. In this case 0.3*2/3 + 1/3 = 0.2+1/3 = 0.53
• Mutliply this with the layer the ingredient was in and divide by the top layer. In this case, 0.53*2/3 = 0.35
• Finally, multiply this with the base effect. In this case, 0.35*38 = 13.43. So expect an potency at about 13.

Note that so long as the ingredient is in the "top layer" of most numerous ingredients, it will never have less than 30% effectiveness.
