Summary
Avowedis quite a unique RPG experience, with players required to eat food and drink alcoholic beverages if they hope toreplenish their Health and Essenceoutside of combat. With plenty of resources to gather and cooking recipes to choose from at the campfire, there are some cooking recipes that are valued a lot higher than others.
Some of these recipes inAvowedare not only great for replenishing a lot of Health or Essence, but some are also great as they improve certain stats for a short period of time. When deciding what foods and drinks to prioritize, these few are by far the best to have a supply of when taking on the Living Lands.
8Mariner’s Porridge
Regenerate Both Essence And Health
When exploring inAvowed, a player is likely to obtain a lot of meat. Although a player can cook it and eat it by itself to replenish their health, combining it with a vegetable or grain to make Mariner’s Porridge is a lot more useful.
This simple meal that can be madewithout any skill pointsput into anything will replenish70 Essenceand70 Health. Although it may not sound like a lot, this is a great way to top up a player’s bars without wasting more valuable meals.
7Darkest Rauataian Cookies
A Must For The Speed Boost
As mentioned, not all recipes inAvowedmake foods and drinks that replenish Essence and Stamina. Some things that can be cooked at the campfire, instead help with attributes. Cookies are incredibly important for players hoping to explore every nook and cranny inAvowed. Eating one of these delicious Darkest Rauataian Cookiesincreases the player’s speed by 10%.
Combining these cookies with a gulp of fresh water will stack the speed buff to allow players to explore at a breakneck speed. Additionally, these cookies also boost the player’sPerceptionandDexterity, which adds a slight buff in combat.
6All-Leaf’s Tea
Essence Replenished And A Boost To It
Players that find themselves getting through a lot of Essence inAvowedmay be interested in brewing themselves a lot of All-Leaf’s Teaback at camp. This beverage doesn’t only replenish150 Essence, but alsoincreases the player’s maximum Essence by 20%.
While this may only be a small boost to Essence, the real reason for drinking All-Leaf’s Tea is because of how much Essence it replenishes, especially as the ingredients needed to brew this tea are incredibly easy to come across while exploring, allowing the Envoy to create a lot of it.
5Pargrun Ale
Increase Maximum Health
Rotten Food is something players may feel is useless to them, but there are a few recipes inAvowedthat make the most of the fruit and vegetables that have gone long past their expiry date. Pargrun Ale is an alcoholic beverage that combines rotten food, grain, and vegetables to create a drink thatincreases the player’s overall maximum health by 20%.
As players advance throughout the story and explore new areas inAvowed, many battles will become more of a challenge and being able to drink an ale before combat could save an Envoy’s life, with this extra health being what they need to survive.
4Savory Skewer
A Stronger Replenish Of Health And Essence
Players that are willing to invest skill points in their cooking may be interested in getting three ranks into the Survivalist Passive Ranger skill. This skill unlocks further recipes that can be crafted back at camp, with one useful option being the Savory Skewer.
Players that need a lot of Essence and Health should be sure to cook Savory Skewers, as eating one of these will replenish each by100. While this may not be a viable reason toget the Survivalist perk, there are plenty of other recipes alongside the Savory Skewers that do more than replenish.
3Wizard’s Mind Bomb
A Must For Any Spell User
At first glance, some players may be shocked to see that a cooking recipe would require the player to sacrifice one of their Essence Potions to make it. However, the Wizard’s Mind Bomb is certainly worth this sacrifice for those with the Survivalist Ranger skill.
With the name of the beverage mentioning Wizards, it’s no surprise that after drinking this, the player is granted many Essence-themed buffs. TheEssence cost of grimoire spellsis reduced by25%and thecooldown timefor these spells is also reduced by25%. Therefore, during a battle, a player can use far more magic without ever needing the Essence potion they used to make it in the first place.
2Strangebrew
A Drink That Can Revive Companions
Another Survivalist recipe that is incredibly expensive to craft but certainly worth it is the Strangebrew. Players that have this available to them after drinking this potion willrevive all theirdowned companions, as well asreplenish their Second Wind.
While a player may not commonly make use of this brew, having at least one available during lethal battles or when facingAvowedon the Path of Damnation difficulty can certainly save a player’s life. Players should note that it does cost a health potion to craft, which can be just as valuable when playing on harder difficulties.
1Enutanik Pickles
Strongest Way To Replenish Essence
By far, one of the best recipes inAvowedis another that can only be created once the player has unlocked the higher ranks of the Survivalist Ranger perk. Enutanik Pickles are a must for any player that gets through a lot of Essence during a fight, as just eating one of these Enutanik Pickles willreplenish 500 Essence.
While this may not be as usefulduring the start of the gameas the player’s Essence isn’t that large, by the end of the game players will likely be using a lot more Essence as well as having a bigger bar of it. Plus, when creating these pickles, the ingredients used will reward the player with three Enutanik Pickles, which are well worth the price of crafting them.
