new type of food (stackable)

[ikraz66]

i'm sure it's been suggested before, but there should be a type of stackable food (the way that runes or feathers are stacked). Obviously this might be such a big advantage that jagex wouldn't be inclined to allow it, however with certain restrictions, they should consider it.

 

 

 

In order to keep it from causing unfair advantages, it should be a p2p only food, and obviously only restore 1 hp each. It should also be difficult to make, requiring a somewhat high cooking lvl and hard to find ingredients. Therefore, this food would have an expensive sale price. This would make it bad for combat training. Low level combat trainers wouldnt want to use it because of the hefty price, and high level trainers and pkers would find it too slow and impractical to restore health.

 

 

 

It would, however, be a great feature for skills with a risk of small "injuries", such as thieving and agility. If you had enough of these, you could stay in some agility dungeons for hours without visiting a bank for more food. Or, you could use it to restore health between monsters.

 

 

 

here are some ideas for a stackable food:

 

 

 

1) pemmican(or jerky)- take some raw bear meat, add spices and salt, then wait for it to dry in your inventory or bank. As it dries, it shrinks and becomes stackable, but loses some nutrients, and therefore only heals 1 hp each. If you fail, it might turn into spoiled bear meat instead.(pemmican would make bear meat much more valuble)

 

 

 

2) potato chips- use potato with knife to make sliced potato, then add olive oil (found in the shop in mort'ton). cook on a range. chips have a chance of burning.

 

------>an alternative would be "sacred chips", made with sacred olive oil from the shades of mort'ton mini quest. instead of restoring health, these would restore 1 prayer point each. (this is just a fun idea... but i dont think jagex would ever really make a "stackable" prayer restoring item)

Unfortunately, these ideas are near impractical unless you just want to hasten healing when doing nothing.

 

 

 

Besides, there are things like cakes, pizzas and if you like, Saradomin's Brew which can be used multiple times per slot already.

Lol the sacred potatoe chips sound like its fresh out of the Simpsons..

 

When i think of stackable food.. i thought of sushi. Probably because you can ACTUALLY stack it, but also i think it would be tedious to make ingame, which would reduce the number of people who would use it

This already exists: crab meat. It's found in the under water area for recipe for disaster, when you kill a crab it drops meat that turns into 5 stackable food items when cooked.

 

 

 

I'm not sure if you can stack the meat of more then 1 crab, but since it only heals 1 per bite it's not very practical.

 

 

 

Another thing that heals more then your average shark or tuna potato are baskets of strawberries. They carry 5 strawberries each which heal either a % of your health or a fixed 6 (30 hp per basket). All you need to remember is to keep one inventory spot open to get the strawberry out of the basket.

huh.. all i have to say is that i'm against it.. Can anyone say more bots?

How is this idea in any way related to bots?

 

 

 

As has been said, there are things like crab meat and strawberrys, which could be counted as stackable food. There are also things like pizzas, cakes and pies which are eaten in more than one bite.

 

 

 

Its an interesting idea, but I don't think a food which has unlimited stack ability is a good idea. Some people would just get thousands of them and train melee for ages in one place. Thoug if they were difficult to make and had high cooking requirements, they probably wouldn't take off at all, people would stick with whats already available, mostly fish. Sure they would be completely useless for pking though.

.........you could stay at the kalphite queen or in the Wilderness forever then lol.........all you had to do would have 1k of the "stackable food" in your inventory. :?

[ikraz66]

no, i think most of you guys missed the point. crab meat is eaten in 5 bites, but it isnt STACKABLE because you can still only restore 10 hp per inventory spot. Also, stackable food would be horrible for the wildy because it is eaten too slow and by the time you try to restore, youd be dead from most pkers.

 

 

 

My point is that if you have enough "potato chips", you can stay in an agility dungeon, or pickpocket for a long time without going back to a bank, since these skills run the risk of some damage over time.

I know what you mean, and i think it would be a great idea! You even pointed out the diferent reasons that it wouldent take off and changed your idea around it! no-one else may think its a good idea, but im 100% behind it!

It is excessive, and like some said, macroers might abuse it by stacking near infinite food and just use a bot. That way they would hardly run out of food.
