Food

Food is a resource in the world of Azusa which plays a direct role in your status growth - meaning if you want to grow in stats, you need to eat. Food comes in a variety forms, whether it be fruits, vegetables, meats or through advanced recipes meat meals, baked goods and more. Food provides two stats: Hunger and Nutrients. Hunger represents how full you are, the higher the number the more full you are (Up to 100) and Nutrients is a resource you burn for stat growth during training (Up to 100 can be stored at once)

Hunger
The amount of food you eat is limited by your hunger, hunger is gained when you eat food and lowers over time, you can also lower hunger a bit more rapidly by training or gathering resources by punching a rock or tree. When you eat food at full hunger you don't gain any nutrition. However you will still gain vigor until your vigor is full.

Nutrition
Nutrition is the fuel you use to develop status points and increase your stats via training. If you have 0 Nutrients, you will ONLY gain Attack and Defense through sparring or training methods. At the start of your character, you will most likely be cooking meats and eating fruits for nutrients. You want to eat in a rotation - eating a Meal (Meats, Meat/Fish Meals, Soup), a Drink (Wine, Beer, Coffee, Tea) and Snack/Side (Cakes & Pies) to get the most nutrients and least amount of hunger. You'd want to eat a Meat Meal, Cake, Wine and rinse and repeat on those three. Cakes and Meat Meals both give more Nutrients than they do Hunger (most foods will be the opposite, providing more Hunger than Nutrients) Keep in mind that eating the same food more than once in a row without another food to break the chain will cause you to halve the benefit of the food.

Recipes
Using Study, any player that is a Civilian Class will be able to learn Recipes to make food. You can learn how to cook your first recipe through the basic recipe you spawn with. You're able to learn how to make Meat and Fish Meals, Cakes, Pies, Teas, Coffee, Beer, Wine and more. Non-civilian classes can be taught by a Civilian how to cook or if you're lucky you'll learn cooking through RPP with a random civilian trait.
