At what point should I transitrion to tier 2 food and drink? I have a level 17 scout who has been foraging food items in Antonica for several levels now and has also started to crank out the sub combines needed but I am wondering when the effects will kick in.
I have heard that shifting to food/drink in the next tier is of no value if done early so when is the right time to adjust my diet?

when to change my eating habits?Follow
from what i understand its based on the level of food lvl 10 food is best for lvl 10 and below, lvl 20 food for lvl 20 and below and below, etc etc...
using a lvl 30 food on a lvl 17 toon is a watse, go for the lvl 20 food then.

Ive been told that it corresponds with your level teir . For example:
At lvl 9 , eating t2 food will only give you results of t1 food since your still considered a tier1 player character. So its like a food cap . This is to ensure that people cant be given t5 food by their uber friend to power level em .
So at lvl 17 id say your good to go for t2 food since you're a tier2 player character .
At 21-30 you can eat t3 food .
And so on . I may be wrong about this but thats how it was explained to me by a provisioner friend of mine when i was hitten him up for t4 drink :) Lucky hes my friend otherwise i woulda wasted a ton of money , hehe .

This is something I never considered before, but what does eatting different tear foods do? I am still eatting the cheapest I can get in Willow Wood. Actually I ended up going 2 days without good or water and it didn't seem to do anything?
Hi
High quality food and drink improve the speed at which you recoup health and power. Food affects your health and drink affects your power.
The quality of the food/drink is based on a stat found in the examine window called satiation. There are 4 levels of satiation, which are: Low, Average, High & Superior. Summoned food/drink is low while merchant bought is average. All player made food/drink is high and superior is reserved for some kind of rare drop or something. (I've never seen any!)
Anyway, high is about the best you are likely to come across and will help you recoup at a rate of 200% Low recoups at 100%, average at 150% and the superior gives you 250% recoup. (I think.) BTW - no food/drink is the default so you would recoup at 100% with no food/drink selected.
I have noticed that I have far less down time when eating/drinking player made food/drink. I only summon food/drink for my druid when I go into seller mode overnight and I never use merchant bought anymore.
Hope this clears things up for you.

I don't seem to see a command to stop eating and drinking. What I have found so far is that the only way I can stop using the good stuff is to have some rubbish to switch to.
Really you need the good stuff for a fairly small proportion of the time. Foods seem to have much longer durations than drinks but then I've never had a problem with the speed of health regen even on simple rations. Power is the biggie and you need a way to turn off consumption during travelling, shopping, tradering, pretty much everything apart from either tradeskilling or on-the-spot exping.
I'm interested to hear the difference between different tiers of recipe. Does this mean that two drinks which say "Satiety:- High, Duration 1 hour" can actually be different? If so then the much-vaunted labelling of food and drink was a farago. Our TSA or your FDA would rip them a new one.

Wherever I go - there I am.
Wow this is good information. So basically if I would upgrade from crappy rations to a decent food it would could possibly double my soloing rate? I noticed my health and power regen has went down hill.
I will have to really look into this.

Many thanks for that. Why they didn't just put it on the context menu I have no idea.

Ok, the best data I've found so far:
T1 (lvl 10) is +12 regen per tick
T2 (lvl 20) is +24 regen per tick
T3 (lvl 30) is +36 regen per tick
T4 (lvl 40) is +48 regen per tick
When food/drink cons white, it's just right for you. Orange will be better than blue, but not by a ton. Red gives you basically no good. At lvl 29 the t3 (lvl 30) foods con yellow to me and are the best choice. They will be at 30 and maybe 31 as well... I haven't tested this all out but the lvl 10 superior satiation stuff I got this week was pretty useless to me. I've found my tank friends really benefit from food when soloing. It's not a big deal to me because as a healer I can just add health and regen power with drink, so I only really eat for major fights. Power regen seems to be key, everyone should drink heavily lol.
