Useful Foods

Let me start by saying thank you to Maxxinepadd for finding all of the different level cooking recipes for me so I could actually write this post. Thanks Maxxi. :D

Food makes a big difference in your attack/damage power, defense, critical hits and a lot of other things. Many high level burn rotations start with popping certain foods before any actual skill is used. I've done my best, with Max's help, to come up with a suitable list of foods many of the different classes use. I started with the 55 food because that is typically where I start using foods, as that is normally when I first start running instances such as HoS, ZS, DL, etc. There has been a long, ongoing discussion on whether it is better to use attack or damage food at certain points in the game. Personally, on my Mage/Warden I have always used mdam food. I have just always seen a higher damage output with it than with mattk food. I use mdam food on my P/K as well but that's because mdam affects heals whereas mattk does not. So, all in all it will be up to you to decide which kind of food you want to use. Experiment with it and see what gives you a better damage output. You might notice in some instances you will have higher damage output with an attack food over a damage food and vice versa. It all basically comes down to how you want to play. :D

Level 55

Physical:
     Doom's Banquet
     Dragon's Banquet

Magic:
     Dinner of the Gods
     Ritual Eucharist

Defense:
     Exquisite Tea Scented Waffle

Level 60

Physical:
     Lightly Burnt Ribs
     Lightly Burnt Fish

Magic:
     Lettuce Sandwich
     Loaf of Magic Hard Bread

Defense:
     Chocolate Cake

Level 65

Physical:
     Spiced Rack of Ribs
     Spiced Roast Fish

Magic:
     Meat Sandwich
     Loaf of Handmade Black Bread

Defense:
     Cheesecake

Level 70

Physical:
     Broiled Ribs
     Broiled Fish

Magic:
     Fried Egg Sandwich
     Light Fluffy Bread

Defense:
     Butter Cream Cake

There are some foods that you will use no matter what class you are or, in some cases, how high your level is.

Physical:
     Caviar Sandwich

Magic:
     Garlic Bread - Healer food
     Moti Blended Sausage

Everyone:
     Rainbow Crystal Candy
     Serenstum
     Grassland Mix - This is not a food that is made from a recipe. It is a codex food.

This is just a run down of the basic foods that many people use. Each named food is linked to it's page at runesdatabase.com. Try it out and see what works best for you. If you have any questions, feel free to message me on Facebook, in game or leave a comment here and I'll do my best to help. Also, if you know of something that got missed, let me know. :D

Have a great one!!

Wedding Food

This is a new thing that was put into the game a few patches back. The buffs from these foods are well worth having and they are pretty cheap to acquire. Again, a big thanks to BB from PPK for explaining the Wedding Food buying process for us. You can find his video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6I3iTB_qLxA

I posted screenshots of the descriptions because it's hard to see for yourself in BB's video and this way you have a reference for which food you need without having to watch the entire video over again.

Have a great one!!

Zodiac Pets

RoM's Chapter 5 brought with it not only the dwarves but a new type of pet as well. The Zodiac pet. Zodiacs are very beneficial, even at low levels, both yours and theirs. These pets can not be obtained the same way you can get a regular pet. Zodiacs are ONLY acquired by participating in the in-game events. The  actual pet stones and the elements needed to grow the pet are bound, so you won't be finding any in the Auction House. Yep, that means you actually have to DO the events to get both of the required materials for making this kind of pet. Sorries. :p Having them is well worth the effort though.

Now, on to the links I've found on the topic.

This one is from the actual RoM website. It just gives basic info on the pets, their types and their buffs:
http://us.runesofmagic.com/zodiacpets.html

Now this one is from Rom-Welten. It gives a better understanding of what all is needed to grow the pets to all 3 levels and gives in depth descriptions on the buffs you can get from each level:
http://rom.onlinewelten.com/news,id5203,chapter_v_new_zodiac_pets.html?sec=1

Please, please, please remember, I can NOT stress the enough, when you first summon your adult pet you will choose a buff. This is the buff you are stuck with for that pet (in it's adult form) until you level it to it's legendary form. The same goes for a legendary pet. When you first summon it you will choose a buff and you WILL be stuck with that buff, there's no level higher than legendary, so please, please, please read carefully before choosing. The pets are not exactly cheap to make in terms of charges required to transmute the elements into the needed materials, so you don't want to be stuck with a legendary pet with a xp/tp/drop rate buff when you really wanted an hp/mp buff. As a side note, as of right now* legendary and adult pet buffs stack, i.e. they do not cancel each other out. So, for example, let's say I have a Legendary Taurus pet with a hp/mp buff (7% max hp/mp increase) and an Adult Gemini pet with a hp/mp buff (5% max hp/mp increase). I summon them both, one after the other, I end up with a total of a 12% max hp/mp increase. Nice huh? See, I told you they were well worth the effort of doing the in-game events. :D

*I say right now because we aren't sure if this is a bug or if it is truly meant to work this way. Knowing RoM, it could be either/or.

There's really nothing more I can explain that the Rom-Welten site doesn't explain better. As always, ya'll can still feel free to message me on Facebook, in game or leave a comment here, if you have a question. I'll do my best to answer it. :D

Have a great one!!

PETS!!!

Pets are an important part of your adventures in RoM. Not only do they provide a companion that doesn't argue with you while questing (that's debatable though because my pets all talk to dang much), they also provide attribute increases and have several active skills that can be utilized at random intervals. I know I have personally asked many, MANY questions about how the pet system works. What is the best way to level my pet? How do I get my pet's aptitude up? Etc, etc, etc. I've had many people ask me the same questions. My answer? I cheat. I use the potions from the Cash Shop to level my pet and to also raise the apt. Some people aren't pay to play though and need to know other ways of dealing with their pets. So, on that note, I scoured the forums and other sites for everything I could possibly find about the pet system and the pets themselves. I hope this helps.

This is by far the best newbie guide I have found as far as the explanation of the pet system goes:
Newbie Guide to Pets - http://forum.us.runesofmagic.com/showthread.php?t=53601

This one tells more about merging pets:
A Complete Guide to Pets - http://forum.us.runesofmagic.com/showthread.php?t=44260

This is a general overview of pets from the RoM Wiki:
Magic Pets - http://runesofmagic.gamepedia.com/Magic_Pets

Another one from the RoM Wiki, this one tells the locations of the Pet Hunters and also the pet transformation potions that can be found in the Cash Shop:
Pets - http://runesofmagic.gamepedia.com/Pets

Another generalized page. This one is from the actual RoM Website:
Tutorial - Pets - http://us.runesofmagic.com/pets.html

Here is a very in depth one from the forums that starts you off with catching your first pet:
Bigger New Pet Guide with pictures and better understanding - https://forum.runesofmagic.com/showthread.php?t=243862

This is a list of the pets and their skills. I'm not sure exactly how accurate it is as it was posted in 2010, but I looked up my fungus pet on it and it had the right skills and values for it:
RoM Pets list & skills - http://romwiki.org/blog/runes-of-magic-pets-list-skills/

Youtube video by Solissfoon (he's the one you see in World Chat giving away free stuff for answering questions and such, lol) describing the pet system:
Pet Guide! (part1) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rI9k4awhqBs

There are several more guides and videos out there, these are just the best that I found. If, after you've gone through all of the information listed above, you still have questions about pets and how they work feel free to message me on facebook, in game or leave a comment here. I will try to help as best I can.

By the way, I left Zodiac pets out of this post on purpose. They deserve their own post since you interact differently with the zodiac pet system than you would with the regular pet system. That is next on my list of things to do. :D

Have a great one!!

Useful Links

These are just some links that I've found useful in my time playing RoM.

RoM Wiki - http://runesofmagic.gamepedia.com/Runes_of_Magic_Wiki

Runesdatabase - http://www.runesdatabase.com/ - The info listed on this page is only up to date as far as patch 5.0.0.

RoM Welten - http://rom.onlinewelten.com/?sec=1

Curse - http://www.curse.com/addons/rom

Curseforge - http://rom.curseforge.com/addons/

Official RoM Forums - http://forum.us.runesofmagic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=272 - You can actually find some useful info on the forums if you dig deep enough. :D

Bleedingblak's channel on TwitchTV - http://www.twitch.tv/search?query=i1own0u#stq=i1own0u&stp=1 - Twitch is wanting to be a pain this morning so this is the search query address for his channel instead of his actual channel. >.< BB live streams alot of PPK's sieges and instance runs. It's a learning experience to be sure.

Reduce Siege Crashes - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tuc6-ptO2aY - Big thanks to BB from PPK for this one. It's definitely something I will be doing for siege from now on seeing as tho I crash on average 3-4 times in a 30 minute siege time frame.

That's all I've got for now. I'm sure later I will think of more but it's still early and I don't think I'm all the way awake yet, but at least I got this post up before I forgot about it again. :D

Have a great one!
