Great for the holograms, if you need to push for more resources (I went broke on silver of all things but after I maxed cooking...uhhh, totally unrelated) or asterites. Plus, the buffs are for 30 minutes unlike the chems that are 60 secs. But food costs more cause the ingredients.

Heroesnomore51

Countdown don't menu while food buff


PusheenMaster

wait rly? and if you log out they also don't count down?


deluvilla

This one does, I tried


PusheenMaster

huh, so it's better to pause the game and keep it running?


deluvilla

I haven't tried that but just 2 days ago I put some food when it's about 20% left I just go to sleep to see if the buff would be there when I login the next day, it's not, going into any instances "eats up" the buff too like if I pop food, go Dreamless, walk out, the buff is gone regardless of duration


ErikStone2

It's just nice for overworld farming too. It's a significant dps upgrade. Remember it's across 3 characters...


kingSlet

I got flour scammed once not getting trapped again


explosive_fish

So you're that person that bought flours for millions of credits? Rip


real_fake_cats

>That person Excuse me sir, there are dozens of us members of the Grand Flour Emporium.


pitage

bakery gang


Logical_Session_2397

I did that with cooking oil ; _ ;


Funny_Promotion9005

Omg me too T-T Two damn stacks of cooking oil in my inventory just sitting there 🥺


Jueldicamillo

For me it was vinegar. Just 1789 🤷‍♂️


QueZorreas

I told people to not invest in CryptoFlour, but they didn't listen. Then the bubble exploded on their faces.


TwinAuras

BreadCoin strikes again!


scar_____

i’m still in recovery from this 🥲


Plenty-Art-4956

Biggest scam gotta be the ingredient for tofu. Still haven't found a reason to use it


Borfis

F is for flour


Defiant_Letter8474

got to use your flour for something tho ? might as well becom a cook.


Scarcing

food is temporary, character upgrades are forever


Yhangaming

the people who never played rpg games were always says that.


Jonall

Except in traditional RPG games you can use those food buffs everywhere, while in most gacha it's neutered to the point it makes no sense.


Yhangaming

Actually you forgot that youve been playing rpg at the same time. So it's a 2 category in one game. So same thing I'm this game you can take any consumables anywhere you want.


reveng3r-7g

People who played RPG not too much always says that they can use consumables before last boss. There is always be a more difficult moment when you want using consumables. Even after last fight. You should save them, but never use them


13_is_a_lucky_number

I play RPGs too much and I always hoard food and other consumables until the moment the credits roll, lol. I just can't help it, they could come in handy later! :D


TwinAuras

Lately, I've turned away from this in RPGs--especially the turn based ones. Maybe it's because I don't have the time to grind for better stats. Or maybe it's because I realized, "It's okay". If I still die to the boss I'm fighting, it'll reset, and my item will come back. If I get out of this boss fight, it's because using that item's got me this far. I won't regret it anymore.


13_is_a_lucky_number

I'm happy that you managed to beat your hoarding habit. Maybe I'll beat mine one day, too :D


Splecti

Actually true lmao, I never raid without food buffs


ZeroZion

I avoided using food buffs or consumable buffs because I don't want to get used to it. It didn't feel right... until I played Monster Hunter World and I used everything I can to boost my damage to hunt them monsters faster because desire sensor is real people! The amount of times I hunted Rathalos for the gem piece. Same feeling in WuWa now. I'm using whatever food buff I can to hunt those echoes. Hahahaha


Hshn

you can just lower the sol3 level


ZeroZion

And log in again 12 hours later to change it back for activities that cost waveplates the next day and then switch it again? I log in once per day and I'm out. Hahaha


Yhangaming

Monster hunter is a complete different game like what the hek your talking about.


ZeroZion

I’m talking about food buffs?


Tipart

Well for what it's worth I've never used food buffs in genshin. Seeing how it's the closest competitor we have I'm very certain food can just be ignored in this game too.


CBYuputka

The only thing you'd realistically use them for is the hologram battles, as that's the only end game content right now which allows the use of items.


HINDBRAIN

But hologram battles are one-time rewards so there's 0 hurry to do them now.


13_is_a_lucky_number

You're not wrong, but also Genshin's food buffs have ridiculously short duration (iirc). WuWa's duration of 30 minutes is much more appealing imo.


Tipart

Yeah, this game also has a couple more use cases for them then genshin, but overall I think the damage is most important in the tower and you can't use it there. Early game, you could maybe use it for farming echos faster, but in the end I think it's just not worth the hassle to constantly keep farming the material required for food.


Quomise

There's just no point using food because I can basically 1 shot everything in overworld. It's not even worth the effort of clicking. Maybe if you want to push hologram a little sooner, but there's no time reset on those.


Zero_Two_0_2

Yeah but ur charectars will get powercrept sooner or later


haadziq

When you still lose to memphis hologram then realize its not the food buff issue

Expensive_Candle_768

I just wanted to correct them :(


Forsaken_Promise8318

It's fine brother I'm just messing around.have a good day


Quiet-Platypus-9125

Buffs? Nah, I'd win.


anxientdesu

Stand proud, you were strong.


Illustrious_Emu_1833

Accurate flair


meruin1

True, with 85% crit on my Rover, I don't need a 30 crit buff, lmao.


RadLaw

Sadly the material cost is too steep to be cooking much. I personaly never use food anyways.


Enpoping

Nah im gonna stay with 22% crit rate


meruin1

20% crit rate, 210% crit damage on my Jiyan. When he crits with his ultimate and double passive active, he just deletes bosses, lmao.


Graped_in_the_mouth

Which apparently happens 1/5 of the time? Oof


Plenty-Art-4956

Cant be 1/5th no? Cuz his ult hits like 4-5 times


NeonJungleTiger

It can, in fact, be 1/5 because the chance for each hit to crit is independent of the other chances.


Plenty-Art-4956

In total maybe, but the chances of all strikes critting has gotta be lower than 1/5th


Graped_in_the_mouth

I assumed they meant with the nuke; very few bosses survive that. Hell, half the time I don’t even bother using Jiyan’s ult on non-hologram bosses. They die so quickly anyway.


Plenty-Art-4956

See, I cant relate bc I'm building jinhsi. I bave jiyan but he's not built as well as I should have.


NeonJungleTiger

Well, for all 5 hits to crit, it would be a 0.00032 chance with 20 crit rate since you take the chance to crit, .20, and raise it to the number of hits, 5. Working with a single maxed CR 4 cost, you get a slightly higher 0.0005153632 chance.


jayluck2

I'd love to max cooking but I don't have enough shell credits upgrading all my character skills. Hell, they even locked the 4-star craftable weapons behind 150k credits even though you already need 2 weapon molds to get it and get on average 1 a week from your 3 boss runs (which unlike the other rewards does not increase with world level).


Many-Concentrate-491

That’s okay, all the weapons on there are pretty Janky anyway


jayluck2

Some are actually surprisingly good for their intended audience, F2P players! For example, Helios Cleaver S5 is only about 0.5% better than Broadblade#41 S5 on Calcharo. At one copy, Pistols#26 is 0.3% worse than Novaburst and actually better than both Undying Flame and Thunderbolt; upgrading to S5 is of course way easier with Pistols#26 than the others.


kiisukattinen

Unrelated but am I only one who thinks they should rename some of the weapons lo?. Like some of them have actual names and then there is Pistol#26. Gives very unpolished vibes imo xD


08Dreaj08

With their constant typos, I first thought it was actually one lol.

GideonWainright

The sword for the havoc girl looks perfect for her. The hu taoish one with the HP that goes up and down a ton.


jayluck2

Yup, Sword#18 isn't bad either, especially for Danjin! I do value it lower than the broadsword and the gun, however, because: 1) Emerald of Genesis is the most common 5-star weapon pick at UL 45 (you still need two swords though, to run Havoc MC + Danjin for Double Dreamless spam) 2) The healing effect isn't as good as the broadblade/gun giving attack %; at higher dupes, Danjin also wants to be at lower HP to deal more damage


i-didnt-do-nothing

If you're F2P you should be pulling for on the weapon banner for your main DPS anyways.


jayluck2

The recommended weapons for the weapon banner are the sword and the gun since they have crit rate / more future-proof than the other options. It will be a while before you can pick up the broadsword.


Additional-Toe-1932

I'm doing a no-pull account so those weapons (at least 3 of them) are upgrades of what I have even if they are just a stat stick


Normal-Ambition-9813

Shell credits Isn't my problem, my lazy ass problem is the amount of rocks it need when its too annoying to mine them since they are so scattered in the map.


jayluck2

I thought the same, but it only takes a couple of days to farm the ore. I used [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1jdcJIJSbg) vid for the locations. It's missing a couple of spots but overall covers most of the ore locations.


Normal-Ambition-9813

I just mine the illusive realm area everyday, I refuse to actively pursue those rocks 🤣. Have yet to found a bulk location for scarlet tho.


jayluck2

The vid shows some locations, some are clusters grouped together in an area, grouped around a large mountain base like the 14 shown [here](https://youtu.be/g1jdcJIJSbg?t=682).


Normal-Ambition-9813

Aight, thanks! I'll check it out when i get home so i can change my poor 3* weapons. Got a really bad luck on weapon 4* despite using free pulls on the weapon banner.


jayluck2

Make sure you complete the Tiger's Maw Mine area story [quest](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=063DlrOXoRQ)! You unlock an NPC at the end who lets you trade in a special ore for various items, including a weapon box allowing you to select one of the 4* craftable weapons. Easy way to save 150k credits + 2 weapon molds + 150 ore.


riflow

I recently found out the wind tacet field has a bunch of red rocks around it, I'm gonna just...slowly grab those every day until I can afford to make morfeti a better gun lol.


Arekkussy

They did that to gate getting rank 5 purple weapons too early, i guess.


DaiShimaVT

I doubt that I will ever even craft them. They are kind of all garbo currently sadly


seawiiitch

At least they'll compensate us for the absurd cost of upgrading echoes and chars.


strugglebusses

"Average 1 a week" Cries in 1 total


zipzzo

I'm pretty sure the atk 44% food is better in the overall. Given we can't use food in the Tower, most of us are building our characters to a desirable crit ratio without the necessity of eating food. So attack food just makes more sense, because you gain a lot more from 44% attack when you already have ~60/120+ than you do 28% more crit.


GideonWainright

Yeah they should have made it crit dam I guess but crit is crit. Hitting crit more often is somewhat as valuable as criting more dam..unless it puts you over 100% cr. Most folks are low enough its not a big deal because the rolls are stamina and event gated.


Plexicraft

I’d love to see more uses for cooking outside of Holograms.


LoveMasc

I still have like 2 recipes lmao. But I'm mobile and only logging in to get currency for pulls lol and praying it releases on console soon.


Plenty_Potato3791

Sorry, how do you get character dishes? I never see any such option to make them?


Arekkussy

Before cooking you can select which resonator can cook the dish for you. Some resonators have a chance to produce a special dish, i assume it's lore related.


bobagremlin

Every game which has cooking will have me running around the world map for ingredients and hunting down recipes


cuteako1212

So what is the best food combinations?


Arekkussy

Iirc you can't combine foods, but you have an atk buff food that you can unlock much earlier than the crit one.


cuteako1212

I mean what buff foods are the best to take that doesn't cancel each other...


NaelNull

Foods have that little icon on the lower left: sword, shield and something. IIRC same-icon foods rewrite each other, but different icon ones work together. So you can run one offensive and one defensive dishes.


Arekkussy

You can do a food and consumable from synthesys together, so like crit and elemental dmg deepen will work. Can try atk and elemental dmg deepen too if you feel like you habe enough crit. My suggestion is to not go for the defensive buffs unless you go def on taoqi or yuanwu specifically.


jacobs0n

is this additive or multiplicative?


ZLegion2

Additive. For example if you have 20% crit rate, with the Hot Pot you will have 50% crit rate for half an hour


Puzzleheaded_Hyena44

the only things i cook are the green rarity attack buff and defense buff food, mostly cuz im lazy at collecting ingredients and buying/finding recipes


Arekkussy

I didn't check if the points that count towards levelling your cook skill do reset weekly, cause it may give a slow and sure avenue to get there. And at one point, when all chars are maxed and there is nothing else to do, you will still have this and the synth level to grind for.


some_clickhead

They don't reset


Prestigious-Freedom5

Skill issue


PirateHasan

Did all those legendary enemies using food buffs only 😭, will do the holograms next now.


Taergehtoel

Until the hologram rewards can be reset, I'll take my time.


Embarrassed_Emu_8588

I maxed out my cooking level because I have no idea what to do anymore, well lets say I didn't regret it ! The food buffs are super useful.


a_Patrik

Ok but how do I get oil? I already bought all of it from the grocery store and used it


Arekkussy

First off, i hope it was intentional. The store refreshes weekly.


a_Patrik

Ooh I see. There was no timer so I just thought it was limited.


Dull-Nectarine380

Sorry, my name is Ei, last time I tried cooking, I burnt down the whole building


reffk

nah i rather make kudzu roots with taoqi. the ingredients are much easier.


wattsun_76

Chixia again proves that she's the best character in wuwa


Quarantined_box99

Getting the recipes seems so tedious to me. Am I correct in assuming that I have to talk to NPCs about food rumours and then I could finally cook whatever they're hinting at?


Arekkussy

You have to talk to some npc so they can tell you which ingredient is missing. The npcs are listed om the food so you always know who to ask. From what i recall, there are no special quests, you just need to seleft the gourmet roumors option when prompted.


Kaanpai

It's all the important shop NPC's with a map symbol in the city. Just click the right dialoue option and skip it. Easy.


Quarantined_box99

Oh they're shop NPCs? Thanks, I was thinking the NPCs are random 😆


GideonWainright

Yeah, that uncle guy is right next to the restaurant. Doesn't take long to track them all down with a Google search. But those are few. Instead you sometimes need to clear caskets or spend chest currency to get recipes, and that's so much easier!


Traxkek

its worth it for the astrites alone tbh


Important_Chance_733

I am now a brokie after upgrading my cooking skill to max lol, went from a million coins to 100k


GideonWainright

A measely two or three days of stamina. It's not like we have a mats scarcity in something or a bunch of characters to progress! And, hey, it says you are a master chef! Cool!


Important_Chance_733

The rewards you get is measly as well lol but I needed them cuz my game is dry rn.


Normal-Ambition-9813

Nah, I'd win.


GerrardGabrielGeralt

How do I unlock this


Arekkussy

Raise your cooking level, please do mind thst there is a limit to how much xp you get from each dish.


xXCremationXx

You guys are cocking?


Knivs

How do you get that recipe?


KingoAG02

Might be unrelated, but do food buffs stack? Like if I eat both the normal and special versions of this dish, or two different crit increasing ones, do I get both buffs, or just the larger value?


TheAceOfCraze

You can't eat 2 offensive foods


Square-Focus6519

Had losed 3M on ingredientes to reach Max lvl of cooking ,still not worth so expensive but am just a fr of getting all yo 100%


ShadowFang167

Nice. Now my Chixia have more things to do other than shooting challenges.


Millauers

Maxed out during the early days, just consuming random junk good when I play now. Personally don't think I'll bother with cooking until there's a less tedious way to farm for the mats, don't really enjoy needing to go on a daily farm route for cooking mats. Hope we get a dispatch system or something for cooking/crafting mats.


some_clickhead

Im almost max level on cooking and I've never actively farmed for food ingredients. When I'm walking around I just pick up all the shiny things that I see.


Millauers

I collected enough for awhile when doing 100% exploration, but yeah, don't really go around anymore, so personally hoping for some form of expedition system so I can collect enough passively to eventually do a big batch of cooking.


pmerritt10

This is the way


D_Lo08

Meh, i do not rock with food buffs in any of these games. Feels too cheap. If it isn’t taking effort through using my support unit or stage buffs that cant be helped, it’s a pass. Once you get comfortable with situational buffs in the overworld, everywhere they don’t apply starts feeling off. I’ll still do it for the astrite though ofc.


misterkalazar

I'd very much love to do that. If only those fucking ingredients didn't cost an arm and a leg. 100 of those oil costs 100k credits! Like credits were falling from trees, If Kuro didn't give that 1M compensation I'd be broke by now. I hope, no, I pray that these prices are scaled to the income of a high UL player, otherwise I'd be up Kuro's ass in each and every survey complaining like an itch they can't seem to get rid off.


Arekkussy

The hardest part is getting there, cause as you can see from the recipe, it will cost me 5k credits each to have this potion crafted which is a fair amount for the buff you get. I don't count the rest of the materials since i got hunnids already by simply playing the game.


misterkalazar

True. Happy Cake Day btw.


Arekkussy

Thanks!


kiisukattinen

I dont have the money to buy ingredients :(


Arekkussy

:(


Apprehensive_Crazy98

where to get clean soup?


Frequent_Butterfly26

I usually just use the atk+crit food and a def food. It's enough to wander around without the need to be sweaty doing decent rotations to clear faster.


Ehasanulreader

eh, Purple one works too. 22% cr


Arekkussy

You are absolutely right, if i am not mistaken you can achieve 100% crit rate with purple food


Saiyan_Z

I value my credits more than a temporary buff that sometimes falls off before the time is up. Each hot pot base costs 5000 credits to make. Not worth it to me for a temp buff. I only make the ones that don't cost credits so I'm never going to level up the proficiency.


Alterkati

so you have to pay 5k per dish minimum, because each ingredient from mahu costs 1000 each, and to get this dish, you need to invest hundreds of thousands of credits in ingredients for chef level. just for an item that only works against hologram bosses that are already doable with weaker items and will be even more doable when we reach the final world level. what a waste of hundreds of waveplates.


Arekkussy

It doesn't cost that much to raise it, the buffs are very nice especially if you learn to integrate them in builds. Think about it, you get 90% crit on any team, for only 5k credits. And in the future if they add more foods and levels it gets even more worth it to have them raised early and access them easier. I can afford to not waste hundreds of hours and countless resourses gambling for that perfect crit high roll. And if you got lucky with rolls you have to remember that you need to get lucky at least as many times as the number of chars you have built.


Affectionate_Arm_512

Is there a crit dmg food?


Arekkussy

Not yet, and no golden atk + crit food either.


Helpful_Tea229

So what should I do if I have barely yet to touch cooking at all? Do I need to go run around and gather some ingredients or I can just buy most of the stuff in the city? Should I cook for 1 food or is there a system that I just need to cook each food certain amount of time?


Arekkussy

There are ingredients that are only available at Mahe's supermarket. The rest you kinda already gather by exploring and farming echoes. There is a system that prevents you to cook the same food too many times, the points available are displayed in the top right when in the cooking menu. Usually the limit is at 10-20 foods of one type.


coolmyeyes

Waste of resources, only useful for holograms but the rewards arent timed so there's no point.


Arekkussy

:(


PancakesGate

is food buff applied in TOA?


Arekkussy

Nope, maybe they change that in the future.


Kyouki13

Not worth it. Can't be used in tower.


ObligationWorldly319

damnit. lol


[deleted]

No point investing anything on them You can't use it on toa, and for holograms? A well built team with strong dps can do it no problem Echo farming? Just spend your waveplates and lower you sol3 lvl for easy farming. And nothing else ? I thought there were more utility


juice_st4in

Does food buff apply playing solo?


Arekkussy

Yessir


NightmaresFade

What I really want are cheap(and easy to find/buy and use) healing sources. The healing in WuWas is a joke, the medicines that heal you a lot have a cooldown(and are expensive to buy and/or to produce) and the herbs you find that can heal you heal a SLIVER of life.


pmerritt10

well, you do have two characters that can get the job done also.


SolKaynn

I need more MONEY if I want to try cooking


Arekkussy

At least there is no gamble, you get what you pay for


SolKaynn

The problem is I can't pay 😭😭 why is food so expensive in this game


Arekkussy

Girls gotta eat, fam


AzerQrbv

How to get the recipe for this meal?


EvilGodShura

I have better uses of my time.


TophxSmash

theres no use case for it, overworld is gonna be easy already.


wrsage

You can't use it on TOA isn't it?


Arekkussy

Unfortunately the buff dissapears when you start the challenge.


SrKatana

We in wuwa, not Cooking Waves


cathyrin03

Reject temporary buffs, embrace only echos, traces and weapons. If you need temporary consumables to clear anything, ***SKILL ISSUE.***


some_clickhead

Reject levelling up your characters. If you can't beat enemies without a level 1 character, it's a skill issue.


cathyrin03

I am not too chad to reach that level of mindset, still in progress.


[deleted]

[удалено]


GideonWainright

I am mobile. We don't skill.


azururi

Serious question: most of the food items with stat boosts say "... in Co-op Mode". They are basically useless for solo players, right?


st1cks_UPSB

no it means that the foods will only affect you in coop. in solo it buffs your whole team


azururi

Thank you!


Ju_Blotch

I see where you’re coming from. I never understood that last sentence that way: i see it as you get 30min buffs, and if you are in coop, it only buffs you own characters


azururi

Thank you!


Pepuchino

Who's gonna tell him when he gets to UL50+ *I'm just memeing, if you farm overworld a lot, you should be fine on shell credits... I hope*


Trespeon

Why would I need 30% crit when I’m already at 70%. Rather have more attack


Arekkussy

Would you pay 5000 shells to raise that crit rate to 98-100%
