yeah, it looks like the new DP system is working.
guess what else? the new food is garbage. currently only level-20 food is available, and it removes a whole 4 minutes when used in a tavern. oh, guess what else? it links. that's right, use one of the new foods and it sets the rest on recycle.
oh, and what's more, talking to a few people who have confectioner alts, seems that the higher-tier foods take long enough to make that it's faster to just eat the old food!!
well, you succeeded at one thing: confectioner class is suddenly the most important in the game. thanks.
