What are good, simple foods for evenly leveling my stats?

Postby Ahhburn » Mon Dec 06, 2010 7:35 pm

I'm currently trying to level up all of my attributes evenly with food, however I'm not entirely sure the best foods to do each with. I'm fairly unexperienced and need a list of some good, easy to access with limited resources, foods that will enable me to level them all up around the same time. Any help would be fantastic! Thanks!

To add STR- brodgar blue cheese - its not maybe the easiest but very efficient STR food. It is good to try find some milk. I use only this.

For PER- carrot cakes/carrots

CON- bark bread (low FEP), Pumpkin pie - better one :)

Remember, the more variety of FEPs you get the less FEPs you need to gain a stat point. Combine a Perched Perch and a Stinging Salad to get a little bit of almost every FEP while filling very little hunger. Creamy Cocks are great but need a lot of ingredients, including cheese. They also give happiness... for some reason.

Other than that, some of my favorite staples are Cellar Cheddar for STR, Pumpkin Pie for STR + CON, Chantrelle & Onion Pirozhki for CON + DEX, Ring of Brodgar for AGI + PSY, Carrot Cake for PER and Boiled River Pearl Mussel for DEX + PSY.

You should probably try to specialize instead of balancing everything out. Butter-steamed cavebulbs are a source of pure PSY if you need to catch up with that, but I don't think it's really worth the effort for people like us (who don't live in rich, powerful villages). The stats won't make a huge difference if you take so long to get a level or two in each one. There are people who apparently take down palisades without rams... if you balance your stats, you're probably gonna struggle to do that even with a ram. But it all depends on what exactly you want to do in this game. If you don't plan to compete with the top villages by making q305720 Ring of Thanes, then you probably shouldn't bother with stuff like PSY since you could probably just trade for one.

But if you insist on isolating yourself and avoiding trade like I do, then you should check the Haven & Hearth wiki for more information on foods/FEP values. You may find this useful: http://havenandhearth.wikia.com/wiki/FEP_Table
Just keep in mind you'll never be able to compete with anyone like that (aside from other new players). And if you aren't competing, does quality and such really matter to you? Isn't it enough to just play and have fun instead of grind?

I balance my stats, and it isn't a grind. I like making different variety of foods for the novelty of it, and by doing that I naturally have a varied, balanced diet.

Experiment with whatever recipes you can make; it does depend on your technology and tools. Getting a frying pan is a big step, as pancakes can be a very interesting and versatile food product (well the flavored ones, plain pancakes are pure CHA).

My goal is not to be the best, not by any means. I'm not even on this game a ton. It isn't about being better than anybody else. I just like to do a little bit of everything and I'd heard evenly levelling your stats was an ideal way to go. If I don't go down that path then what would be a few to specialize in? I'm into Farming, Hunting (with ranged), and maybe a few other things here and there. What should I invest in?

Pick a food (or three) for every kind of FEP and just stick with it, most of the time it's easier to make 1~2 in bulk than to make 5 different kinds.

STR: Sausages(to 100 str), BBC (100-600(?) str), MBC (whenever BBC isn't good enough)
AGI: Creamy Camembert (better have a lot of milk for cheese!), Delicious Deer Dog (The staple AGI food, good luck finding deer these days)
INT: Blueberry Pie (PER/INT hybrid, sux shit but it's good if you want PER and INT), Emmentaler (CHa/INT hybrid, decent but sucky as far as cheeses go), Jorbonzola(when the other 2 don't cut it)
CON: Pumpkin Pie, Pumpkin Bread, Cow Chorizo (I normally would say fuck it on cow chorizo but they're so easy and are a byproduct of your cheese)
PER: Mothzarella. Nothing beats Mothzarella in terms of how fucking easy it is to make, 4 pieces, only 2 days, first stage cheese... in the time you make a cupboard of carrot cake you'd make 5 of mothzarella with half the effort, if you have a lot of cows I guarantee this to be the best), Carrot cake (if you like using butter instead of cheese... retard), lamb sausage (if you grow both sheep and pig this is the bees knees, one sheep 2 pigs atm of the 'highest Q', will get you 120+ sausages!)
CHA: Emmentaler(INT/CHA to start off), Harmesan(When you got too much from Mothzarella [PER/CHA] and Emmentaler), Sunlit Silton (Never? Jeez you'd have to have crazy CHA to get started on this, cause Harmesan is god tier
DEX: No fucking clue, I don't really eat DEX but if you're a pearl guy mussels work great
PSY: Bulbs are end-tier, creamy cock helps.

Your lamb sausage is info is out of date, I just got a boar with 100 meat quantity ^_^ Bad breeding, though :cry: But yeah, I'd forgo Mothzarella in favour of lamb sausage and just make more BBC with the milk that you save. Even if you don't keep sheep mutton is piss easy (mouflon flocks are huuuuuge), though getting large quantities of wild boar meat takes a bit of work - but if you're hunting for LP anyway it's fairly efficient.

Anyway, I'd add both kinds of RoBs to the agi food list. Bread RoB is less of a hassle, but you only get so much honey, so a bit of fish RoBs are in order too. Remember, full moon, q10 gear and earthworm catches you eel. This will also give you a fair amount of "accidental" psy (I got 60 and I haven't eaten a single bulb this world), which should be enough for working with silk, especially if you also use tobacco to boost your psy.

Dex I wouldn't bother levelling on purpose, lots of foods have dex as secondary so you'll get more of it than you want.

Thanks for info, my best pig ATM is only around 85 quantity, I haven't done moth in a while, might swap to Camembert very soon
