Follow-up for Food
This is my brainstorming on the Food Questline, following the things discussed and added as per #98 (closed).
We have a bunch of recipes now, grouped by food type. Right now there are:
- 3 types of Sandwiches. Can be prepared in a kitchen. Can be stacked.
- 3 types of Stew. Can be prepared in a kitchen, but need a bowl. Every player is supposed to have one bowl only.
- 3 types of Plate Dishes. Can be prepared in a kitchen, but need a plate. Every player is supposed to have one plate only.
- 3 types of Desert. Can be prepared in a bakery only. Can be stacked.
- 3 types of Salad. Can be prepared everywhere, but need the Bowl OR the Plate (PENDING).
I think we may implement this in some kind of story / questline. Here is my proposal.
-
First contact: When arriving in West Woodland, the player gets a bowl from Morcant, and the hint to talk to Yannika about how-to cook.
-
On the way to Hurns, the player passes Snarfles' Mouboo Farm. Snarfles has an apprentice, who secretly loves to eat Mouboos. this gives a special side quest, which will provide the Plate and the recipes for Mouboo Stew, and Barbecue Plate at a later stage.
-
Yannika: She provides a follow-up quest after Hinnak. When the player accomplishes that, she gives the player the Recipe Book, and a first recipe (Carp Sandwich). She also asks the player to deliver a couple of fishes to the Chef in Dimond's Cove.
-
Dimond's Cove: Receiving the fish, the chef provides the Sailor's Stew recipe for the player. He also tells a Story about the old Chef from Reid's Inn, who once was the best chef on the whole continent. He asks the player to find him and get the recipe for Squirrel Stew.
-
Reid's Inn: The Chef is kinda semi-undead, like people in Asphodel Moor usually are. He will not give the recipe easily. Before, he complains about the food quality in the Swamp, and asks the player to bring a few fresh sandwiches, in particular a Piouleg and a Manana Sandwich. Hmmm
-
Returning to Yannika with this request, she explains that she does not know how-to prepare those sandwiches, but it is said that there is a famous sandwich maker living in Candor Island. Would the player be so kind to share recipes with her, when he succeeds in Candor?
-
Arriving in Candor, the player explains the request to the sandwich maker. He agrees, but requests ingredients for 5 Piouleg and 5 Manana Sandwiches. Delievered, he will give the player the recipe for Manana Sandwich and for Piouleg Sandwich, and he will hand out 3 Sandwiches of each of the two types.
-
Returning those 6 sandwiches to Reid's Inn, that guy then shares the recipe for Squirrel Stew, and asking the player if he ever comes to Tulimshar to bring him some of those famous deserts.
-
When the player returns to Dimond, knowing the Squirrel Stew recipe, the Chef there will say thanks. But, if the player has an empty plate already, he gives another quest, providing the recipe for Veggie Plate.
-
Further stuff is designed for Tulimshar (Seafood Plate, Deserts from Riskim in the Bakery, Salads somehow with magic Academy).
