Food and drink
From Witcher Wiki
Food, for the purposes of The Witcher, is defined as any edible item that restores vitality. I've subdivided the items as follows:
- basic food
- fresh fruit
- meat
- fish
- sandwiches
- additional goods, the two special skinnable items which can be consumed.
- candy.
Drink, in this context, is any liquid that restores endurance when consumed. Thus the alcoholic beverages in the game are not considered part of "food and drink" for the purposes of this topic, think of them as potion bases, or hard liquor.
[edit] Prices
The price of the item is based on the perceived difficulty to acquiring it, not the amount of vitality or endurance the item restores. More precisely, all food and drink seems to increase vitality regeneration for 9 minutes, but some food items are more expensive than others.
[edit] Notes
- Do not eat two of the exact same food item or the second one will override the effects of the first. For example, if you eat a blueberry and a strawberry you will get the benefit of increased vitality regeneration for 9 minutes each and see two red icons. However, if you eat bread and begin accelerated healing, then eat more bread a minute later, the "countdown" is simply reset back to 9, and you have wasted a portion of the benefit.
- Selling price is always one fifth (20%) of the buying price. Thus an item costing 5 will sell for 1. Bottled Water costs 3, but because the selling price is less than 1, no one will buy it!
