Food and drink

This article is a work in progress!

There are thousands of different foods and drinks found in GemStone IV. Characters are not required to eat or drink; one cannot die of hunger or dehydration. Most food and drink exist merely for the enjoyment of the flavors, and can be consumed with the EAT and DRINK verbs, respectively. In addition, GOBBLE can be used to take multiple bites of food at once, and warriors belonging to the Warrior Guild can learn to GUZZLE a drink.

Food and Drink Design

Players of Meeting Hall Organizations (MHO) and Co-operative Houses of Elanthia (CHE) officers have regular opportunities to add foods and drinks to their organization's pantry. Purchasers of SimuCoin private properties will also have the chance to design personalized options for their homes. While the rules and costs for creating the food are different, all foods have the same design elements:

1. Base that is (15/15/15) or a long description. No show descriptions
2. Up to 2 different 1st person tastes^†
3. Up to 2 different 1st person tastes for a specific race (optional)
4. 3rd person messaging for each taste (optional)
5. Optional effects

Food Effects	Drink Effects
Frosting on face	Froth/foam on face
Spicy

^† In the case of CHEs, using custom tastes may result in additional costs, but specifying an existing food taste from another item is allowed. See the Official CHE Website for details.
