Glorious wiki readers. We appreciate your patience as we process the vast amount of new and updated information from the release of Alpha-2 phase 1.
Tavern consumables
Players will be able to buy food and drink from a Tavern, some of which will be supplied by the tavern owner or other patrons that they get their menu from. These consumables will offer tangible benefits to players that stay within a certain proximity of the tavern itself.[2][3][4][5]
If a player chooses to construct a tavern or a business on their freehold, they can offer food through that tavern and players who are visiting the area doing hunting quests can visit the tavern, eat food if it's available, and they will receive a buff that is proximity based essentially if they hunt around that person's business... Additionally that business can be upgraded through the access of additional blueprints as well as resources that need to be then poured into the building; and if they do so that proximity radius expands.[3] – Steven Sharif
Characters will have some agency over what consumables are available in taverns.[2][3] This could be tied to supply quests or available resources within the region.[6]
Characters will have a defined region of agency over what is available in the different taverns, whether they be taverns located within the city or taverns located on a freehold; and those could be tied to supply quests that are then done by the players. They could also be regionally determined by availability of resources.[7] – Steven Sharif
If you're a tavern over on the western side you might have different grains, spices and mead there; and over on the other side of the world there might be taverns with completely different things.[7] – Jeffrey Bard
Cooking
Cooking is a processing profession in Ashes of Creation.[9][10][11][12]
To make cooking relevant, all food needs to do something.[13] – Peter Pilone
Recipes are discovered and can be combined to create unique dishes.[13]
- Recipes will include Verran and Sanctus ingredients and cuisine as well as familiar dishes and recipes.[8]
You'll be able to take the items that you cook and you will be able to place them in a business should you choose.[10] – Steven Sharif
Crafted furniture may contain bonuses based on the quality and grade of the furniture.[3][14]
- For example: A cook using a higher grade stovetop will be able to create food items with improved stats, such as an increased freshness period.[14]
Stoves
Stoves (Ovens) are a type of furniture used by the Cooking profession.[14]
- Stoves will allow food items to be crafted with stats based on the level of the stove and the home it is placed in.[3][14]
Tavern progression
The longer a tavern is in business and the more patrons served, the faster the tavern will level up.[16][17]
- Q: What benefits do players receive for taking on the role of a tavern owner?
- A: You will get noticeability with regards to your creations because that will be displayed to the characters that consume those things; but, in addition, you can get certain types of itemization rewards depending on the number of patrons that you serve. You can also reap economic rewards, such as gold from the inn that you are selling your goods at. And then you can unlock access to certain types of recipes and or vendors based on the level of reputation you build up in that particular node.[16] – Steven Sharif
- Taverns have tech trees that allow the tavern owner to specialize and upgrade specific bonuses and services provided by the business.[18][17]
