Four grades, rolled at the end
Each dish comes out burnt, good, excellent or sublime. The kitchen tier lowers the burnt share, and only sublime fruit opens the sublime grade: the more a dish holds, the likelier it gets there.
The farm kitchen turns fish and fruit into dishes with a timed effect: mana, crits, craft quality or speed, summon cards. It has 5 tiers, each opening a slot and new dishes.
Each dish comes out burnt, good, excellent or sublime. The kitchen tier lowers the burnt share, and only sublime fruit opens the sublime grade: the more a dish holds, the likelier it gets there.
Eating a dish whose effect is already active replaces it. A sublime dish instead adds its duration to the running buff and keeps the stronger of the two values.
Six skewers shorten craft time: one for every workshop, one each for the furnace, the alembic, the jeweler, the sawmill and the kitchen itself.
A cooked dish keeps 7 days in the inventory before it spoils. Plant meat is the exception by use: it gives no buff, it feeds the shark.
