Cooking isn’t quite finished yet but some of the fun ingredients are implemented so I decided to add those before I delay the patch too long. The cooking system will combine food with spices that give certain buffs. Eating the raw spices by themselves gives a small effect as well: Black Pepper will boost your experience gain. Caraway will give you a small speed boost. Honey will increase all your skill levels for a time. In the near future the buffs (or debuffs) will show as icons on your screen, but for now you can see them in /stats. Here are the changes in this patch:

• Caraway, Pepper added (no bush/seeds yet so find them in chests for now)
• New underworld NPC ‘Hive Soldier’ that drops honey.
• New effect for eating something that gives a buff, and an indicator in /stats.
• New hole and bone pile graphic.
• Using a lens on a bandage will show the number of uses left.
• Changed the simple dagger to ‘Blunt Dagger’ which does pitiful damage.
• Locks can’t be set if you don’t have ownership over them.
• In the underworld grass rocks are removed and common rocks break quickly.
• If the server has a network problem it will pause so no one dies.
• Fixed an exploit where you could log in multiple times creating clones.

More crops and spices coming soon. Spices will be rare starting out so try to be the first to build up a stock of them!
