Guilds/NERF

Intro

This guild is dedicated to cooking research (but that's not a promise we wont ever diverge!). We also have a secondary goal of teaching people how to cook correctly, without any myths from previous tales creeping in. The GH is located to the east of Meroe CS, donations of bricks/boards/foods appreciated. We can use up 1000s of a food in one experiment.

The dictionary lists all the definitions of the more complex words and ideas we use on here. Reference it often when writing!

The More Advanced Stuff

Recovery Rate

If an item is never used in a recipe, its potency will increase slowly with time (as our current understanding is). To test the recovery rate, we took the average potency of mushrooms at the start of the tale, per Arame's data. Mushrooms are used since they're generally forgotten ingredients. That potency was about 2384 (need Arame's data to find that again!) and approx 226 days later (this is really accurate!) the 'entry level' of never-cooked foods was 2814. This means that over the course of 226 days, the potency recovery has raised potency by 430. We then divide that number to find the potency gain/day, which equates to 1.903 points/day. For general purposes, lets round that to 2. This means that, under the multiplier settings (see the multiplier map for the settings at the time of writing), it would take about a real-life year to raise camel meat from a *1 multiplier to a *2 multiplier.

Ratio Calculation

This is one of the Holy Grails of cooking. This would let us predict the dead zone and harmony zone, as well as the base-heavy zone. This calculation has a basis in potency, shown from the harmony tracking done by Orrin with camel and discorea. (Image to be uploaded.)
