Category:Crafting Food: Difference between revisions

Crafting food comes in two varieties, Rusks and Macarons.

Previously a hotly debated subject for years, the exact effects of each were finally settled when SE published the details, now visible on each item description.

• Rusks decrease synthesis material loss rate while increasing the rate of high-quality results.
• Macarons increase the rate of synthesis success and the rate at which a player skills up their craft.

• These items stack with the various other pieces crafting equipment, however the effects are multiplicative and not additive.

• Which is to say adding +10 High-quality success rate will not increase a tier 0 synth from an approximate 2% HQ rate to 12%.
  Instead this rate would be increased by .2% to 2.2%. If you had a 50% chance of HQing (Tier 3) then +10 High-quality success rate would increase your chances to 55%.

Icon	Food	Effect	Rate	Effect	Rate
	Sugar Rusk	Rate of synthesis material loss	-2%	High-quality success rate	+1
	Chocolate Rusk		-4%		+2
	Tiny Rusk		-4%		+2
	Coconut Rusk		-6%		+3
	Cherry Macaron	Skill up rate up	+3%	Synthesis success rate up	+3%
	Coffee Macaron		+5%		+5%
	Tiny Macaroon		+5%		+5%
	Kitron Macaron		+7%		+7%

• Rusks can be further enhanced by also using the Confectioner's Ring.
• Macarons can be further enhanced by also using the Patissiere's Ring.
