7.20.13 COOKING CURIOS

The cooking curios are grouped in collections of four. They are bottles which can be sprinkled once per Lusternian month over any crafted food to transform that food into a specialty food item. If you sprinkle two different bottles from the same collection, the food will transform into a different specialty item, and again if you sprinkle three different bottles from the same collection. These specialty foods are highly nutritious but don't have any special powers. However, if you sprinkle all four bottles from the same collection onto a crafted food item, it will give a critical hit blessing on whoever eats it. If you eat multiple blessed items, the critical hit bonus will stack up to 5 times (but no more) and also stacks on top of critical hit artifacts, clovers, etc.

Cooks have a chance of receiving a curio piece the first time they cook or bake an item each Lusternian day. This chance is ONLY on the FIRST item cooked or baked that day and not subsequent attempts. The chance of finding a curio is based on the skill in cooking (max 5%) and having a magic spatula will double the chance.

The various sets and what they can transform foods into are listed below.
