When cooking, there are four kinds of ingredients: food, additives, critters, and monster parts. To create a meal, you must include at least one food, no critters/monster parts, and optionally additives. To create an elixir, you must include at least one critter and monster part, and optionally food/additives. Food is fruit, mushrooms, vegetables, meat, honey, eggs, milk, nuts, fish, snails, and crabs. Additives are rice, wheat, sugar, butter, goron spice, rock salt, monster extract, star fragments, and dragon drops. Critters are butterflies, dragonflies, crickets, beetles, fireflies, frogs, and lizards. Monster parts are everything that drops from a monster, including ancient parts but not dragon drops. The healing power of a meal or elixir is the sum of its components, except for gold heart food which always heals fully. The duration is also the sum of the components, however elixirs are given a fixed 30 second bonus. The odds of a crit are the maximum of the components, although it seems the odds are never zero. The strength of a meal or elixir's effect is determined by sum of the levels of its ingredients, as follows: * AttackUp, DefenseUp, MovingSpeed: 5+ for strength 2, 7+ for strength 3 * Fireproof: 7+ for strength 2 * Quietness: 6+ for strength 2, 9+ for strength 3 * ResistCold, ResistHot: 6+ for strength 2 * ResistElectric: 4+ for strength 2, 6+ for strength 3 * ExGutsMaxUp: complicated, but maxes out at 20+ for 2 bonus stamina wheels * GutsRecover: complicated, but maxes out at 9+ for 3 stamina wheels * LifeMaxUp: one gold heart per level Getting a critical cook will randomly apply one of the following to the dish, out of those that are applicable: * boost effect strength by 1 * boost red hearts by 3 * boost effect duration by 5 minutes Monster Extract is a special case, and will randomly modify the properties of a food, sometimes dramatically. Fairies are another special case, and will create Fairy Tonic no matter what, which heals but has no other effect. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AttackUp Lv. 1 (50 seconds), 0 hearts -
