Tears of Magic - Cooking (Patreon)

Food in Tears of Magic controls your recovery of health and mana after battles, as well as some non-combative effects, like increased experience points or extra drop rate. Characters also gain increased affinity if they are eating their favorite food (it works like an equipment).

Each ingredient has different tiers of quality, and once you unlock an ingredient, you can use as much as you want with the highest tier available. Cooking ingredients can be purchased on stores, looted from monsters and treasures, or gained as rewards from quests and minigames like fishing.
