Everyone's welcome to pitch in their ideas and icons, I'll offer a format and my own ideas.

As for Dev, if this thread ends up interesting enough, sticky it up so others can see this without being dug into the torrents of PvP buff requests.

The Main Idea ™:

- Drinks are the counterpart for Food. Unlike food, a drink does not fill you, only refreshes on top of your full belly, so it does not grant EXP, but in exchange, it can be drank multiple times, but only one Bonus Effect can be had per drink

- Additionally, it will always recover 5% of your maximum HP and FP.

- Once you become Hungry (read: Food duration reaches 0), any drink Bonus Effect will also be removed.

- You cannot gain a drink Bonus Effect while Hungry.

- On use, you will display an automatic emote saying:

Ren Brown drinks a Jamba Juice.

- A small sound effect will be played. Sip, sip.

- Afterwards, you also immediately recover Physical and Mental Stamina equal to the values mentioned.

EXAMPLE TEMPLATE:

---

Icon (or Reference for Iconners):

Name:

Description:

Crafting Station:

Ingredients Needed:
- ?x ?
- ?x Pure Water (Recommended)

Phys. Stamina recovered: 1-40%
Mental Stamina recovered: 1-40%

Bonus Effect: If possible, balance bonus effect vs how much it restores. Higher recovery values = weak or no effects at all.

CONCRETE EXAMPLE:

Icon (or Reference for Iconners):


Name: Jamba Juice

Description: A juice made extra juicy for juicefying a good description for Devourer Of Neus, which doesn't need to be very huge for the sake of space so don't make it needlessly wordy. This may also turn you into Exodia, so be careful to not be flung in the sea.

Crafting Station: (Placeable) Large Wooden Mixer

Ingredients Needed:
- 5x Tangerine
- 5x Banana
- 5x Grape
- 5x Apple

Mental Stamina recovered: 40%

Bonus Effect: Fruity Obliteration - You're happy to have drank the Exodia of all drinks, increases all your stats by 100, and looking at an enemy will instantly defeat them. The drawback is that this is just an example and will never see the light of day.

[Poruku]

I don't know if I like this, it adds another layer of pvp optimization on top of food that I feel is redundant. To me drinks would be nice but they should just be used to recover hp/fp and stamina. And I love the concept of being able to be a brewer or a bartender and stuff, but some of those recipes look pretty expensive, and they're only expensive because of how useful the effects are. So yeah I suggest making drinks take a niche as out of combat heals instead of being a buff layer

[lalchi]

I like the idea, but i join Poruku comments.

I think if drink would gave effects that doesn't adds advantage on a battle would be for the best.

Why not even give bonus outside of combats ?

it could be a higher drop luck
A drink making you invisible by mobs. Or making every mobs in x tiles to be drawn to you (outside of a fight).
regenerate mental and physical stamina
making rare drops from collects higher
Higher walking movement speed
etc...

the idea that it effects say, shout and emote verb is very cool tho'

[Snake]

Oh, that'd be nicer for sure. I just thought it'd be an icing over Food bonuses, but maybe not.

If anything, Drinks could indeed be used for an alternative way to heal outside of Potions, with a main focus around Stamina/Mental Stamina to not remove that niche and Bandages' niche (which is why I haven't considered actual heals, but a small 5% HP/FP).

It's a bit impossible to split apart this from mechanics in my eyes, since otherwise there won't be much a reason to even consider toasting resources on this new money sink.

But in general, those effects could just be reduced into three categories, if we're in the foodstuffs scenario.

- Refreshing
(Increases HP and FP recovery by 2 during combat. Increases Stamina/Mental Stamina recovery by 50% while active.)

- Energetic
(Increases Move by 1 and Evade by 5, but reduces Hit by 10. Some animations are changed to 'Swift'. Both during combat and out of combat, your walking speed is notably increased.)

- Alcoholic
(Inflicts Confusion for 5 rounds in combat and increases SWA by 15, but there is a 50% chance you will start your turn with 4M. Funny drunken text sometimes replaces Say, and a hiccup sometimes replaces Emote.)

Anything beyond those should probably delve in the Alchemy and Potions area, which would still be welcome, mind you! I'm mostly concerned about normal food and normal drinks for now.
