Tower of Fantasy (ToF) is a new free-to-play, open-world MMORPG that is scheduled to be globally released on 11th August, 2022. The game incorporates the concept of cooking and food to heal and gain various buffs. Veteran ToF players have tested out the beta and these are some tips and guides when it comes to food and cooking in ToF.
Cooking in Tower of Fantasy
You can cook in ToF by reaching out to the vendor with a rice-cooker on 4 legs. This robot rice-cooker will also probably be available to you later to take on your general adventuring and exploration- especially considering it’s a mobile unit with 4 legs that help it walk.
When you open the Cooking tab you’ll notice a list of recipes you know and can cook. You can click on ‘Cook’ to prepare the necessary dishes for your travels and fights. Each food has its own buff which you can view by clicking on them. There will also be slots with question marks which are recipes you have yet to discover.
Below you’ll find the ‘Discover’ tab which you can click to start discovering recipes by ideally putting a total of 15 items into the given slots. Below are some tips and tricks to make discovering recipes easier for you.
1. Use 15 Items to Guarantee Recipe Discovery
While it isn’t compulsory to use 15 items in the discovery slot to discover new recipes, using the total of 15 items ensures a 100% recipe discovery rate. You can’t just also put in any items in the slot- you have to use the raw materials which can be cooked.
2. Buy Water and Salad Dressing from the Vendors
The Vendors offer you 99 Water and other items such as Salad Dressings every day. These stocks refresh every day and even though they cost a bit of money they will save you a ton of farming time and give you a headstart in your recipe collection. These items that you buy in bulk can then be put into the Discovery slots in multiple numbers to meet the 15-item limit that ensures a 100% Recipe Discovery.
3. Raise Channel Number to the Highest for Farming Food Items
If you want to go on a farming spree, you’ll notice often that in the early days of the game’s release, a majority of the resources are already taken since you are in a shared world. The ideal way to farm for resources alone is to raise your channel number to the highest possible number and farm that world. Since the game will be newly released, you can expect the majority of the players to flood the lower-numbered channels.
4. Always collect Honey
Honey is a valuable resource so be sure to stop and collect all the combs of honey you find along your explorations and adventures. Honey is used as a raw material in multiple recipes so it’s smart to collect them from the start.
Satiety in Tower of Fantasy Explained
Satiety or Satisfaction is the state of fullness in ToF. This is the Hunger system in ToF which can be accessed by clicking a small bubble on the centre-left of your screen. It opens up two tabs- one with all the food in your inventory and the other denoting your Satiety Level.
Ideally you’ll want to have this level full since it affects your character’s automatic health recovery outside of battle. If you quickly want to regain lost hp outside of battle, it’s necessary to fill your Satiety meter for bonus health recovery rate.
Satiety level also decays over time- meaning you lose this meter over time and soon reach a state of Hunger where your hp recovery will be very slow or eventually even nil. 0 Satiety does not mean you will lose hp so there’s no need to worry about any debuffs if you don’t keep eating.
Tower of Fantasy is a free game and will be available on PC, Android and iOS from 11th August 2022, though there are still ways to pre-load the game before release. While it does bear inspirations from other popular games, Tower of Fantasy still feels like a fresh new MMORPG with its own character gear, customizations and weapons.
