Updates Scheduled for Tuesday Istaria Community Manager March 24, 2008
	This content patch contains one significant change, the revamp of the Confectioner school. There are many changes that go along with this revamp, many of which affect all players. The length of a death point is now tied to your potential rating. Potential rating is calculated by what your Adventurer rating would be if you were currently gaining experience in your highest level school. Beginning at level 10, the death point will last 8 hours. It will gain 4 hours for each Tier beyond (12, 16, ...) to a maximum of 28 hours. Confectioner school is now tied to the Primary Skill system. This means you will only get experience for actions that use the Cooking skill. Gatherers have obtained the Preparing skill, allowing them to gain XP assisting confectioners. Foods are available for all 6 tiers now. Eating food is much more effective (200%) when eaten in a tavern. Eating food cannot be done in combat or while standing. Foods are classified as Appetizers, Sides, Main Dishes, and Desserts. You must eat one of each part of a meal before eating another in order to gain full benefit and optimal use of your time. Confectioner trainers sell formulas for basic meals and processing steps for coin. Rare foods (player-submitted) as well as the processing forms for rare garnishes and resources are available from trainers and other NPCs around Istaria as quests. Dragons and Adventurers can gather rare resources/garnishes using Ingenuity. Eating foods at a tier lower (or higher) than your own will reduce the effectiveness. Read More...

Blight Delta 135 Istaria Community Manager March 10, 2008
	Quests for confectioners to obtain T1-T6 garnish processing forms have been added to Fillet, Julie, and Estelwen. Each garnish has a unique quest and you must have a sample of a harvested garnish in inventory to obtain the quest for that garnish. At this time, the assets for truffles and buttercap are not ready for use. As a temporary measure, the processed forms of these resources may be purchased from Fillet. Unfortunately, this does mean that players will not be able to get the quests for these garnishes until these assets can be completed and spawns added to the world. Please accept our apologies for this delay. It's been a long time coming, but at long last all the winning recipes from the 2006 "Calling All Cooks" competition have been added to the game. These recipes (plus a small selection of non-winning entries!) are available through various "Rare Food" quests and through the T1-T6 garnish quests. We hope everyone has fun collecting all the recipes, and congratulations once more to all the winners! Read More...
