The art of appreciating what you eat. A high gourmand skill allows you to get maximum benefits from foods.

Gourmand Overview

Gourmand is a skill that lets you get the most value out of regenerative foods. It is usually first obtained by eating hardtack found in a sack or porridge cooked by Lawara on the starter Island of Anagoge. It is raised most effectively by eating every single type of unique consumable meal or drink that you come across. Such foods can be cooked, bought from vendors, or simply gathered (for example Large Strawberries). Some rare foods may be obtained as rewards for performing favors for or hanging out with various NPCs.

In-Game Description

The art of appreciating what you eat. Every level of the Gourmand skill increases the duration of meal bonuses by 30 seconds. The main way to earn Gourmand XP is by eating foods you've never eaten before.

Training Gourmand

• Each kind of food eaten will reward Bonus Experience the first time they are eaten. Typically this is 10 times the Meal Level, but some of the lower-level food it's different. To see all the unique foods you've already eaten (and how many of each), go to Skills pane > Gourmand and select the button there. Some high-level foods will provide a small amount of XP (+1) each time they are consumed.

Gourmand Mechanics

Types of Foods

Most foods give bonuses to Regeneration of Health and Power, both in- and out-of- combat. Many foods also provide bonuses Maximum Health and/or Power, as well as Metabolism Regeneration. The duration of food effects varies, but most last 1 hour. The player may have one Meal and one Snack active simultaneously.

In comparing Meals versus Snacks, Meals tend to give more Health Regeneration, Maximum Health, Metabolism Regeneration, and Out-of-Combat Power Regeneration while Snacks provide more Maximum Power and In-Combat Power Regeneration.

When comparing Cheeses to Non-Cheeses, Cheeses usually give more In-Combat Health and Power Regeneration and Maximum Health and Power, while Non-Cheeses give more Out of Combat Health and Power Regeneration and Metabolism Regeneration.

A comparison of approximate value of level 80 foods can be found at Game_updates/2019-11-08#Food_Changes.

The other foods are Instant-Snacks. These don't provide any Regeneration bonuses. Instead they restore flat amounts of Health and Power, while consuming some Metabolism. You can eat Instant-Snacks whenever you want, as long as you don't run out of Metabolism.
