I think it's just so you can raise a toast when you feel like it... I wouldn't mind if it was a longer-lasting weak buff though.

Way I see it, as it should be like, is like what Terraria has: Healing and Mana potions that directly restore varied amounts of HP and mana, with a cooldown, but also potions that increase Health and mana regeneration. At least that allows for an extended duration, like most its potions do.

Tasty Mead's duration is so short, one could just easily avoid combat to regen stamina naturally. It doesn't hardly save any time at all, it's stamina effect would be gone in a few hits again anyhow, and (in my case) any time saved is lost trying to be safe enough out of combat to fumble for it in my inventory and be half regenerated anyhow.

Its essential value is mainly table decoration, it seems ... (although I am trying to mod it as a food for some modded NPCs.)

It's just so irksome to spend time gathering berries, brewing it, then fermenting it, to save like... 3 seconds of stamina regen per mead. So I spend 10 minutes gathering resources and cooking to save me like, 30 seconds max.

Good idea with the basic mead

I've been using Tasty Meads while wood-chopping, and have to agree the duration seems too short for the amount of time we spend brewing it.

Agree, because I don't even bother using it, looks good on item stand tho.

Take a Troll for that(the log one is best, he swings like a mother trucker), The Elder is also good as wood and stone chopper.

I agree with 20-30s duration because are a little expensive in berries if you use a lot
But 10 mins ? Thats broken man isnt a buff type me/ad its a regeneration blast potion ( a little kind stamina potion WITHOUT COOLDOWN)

It's not the resource cost, it's the fermenting time.

Only use it for fun sometimes with friends. As I scoop down several of them in short time running around like wohoo and then pick up like to many stones that I placed out in advanced to get encumbered to look sick and top that with a bukeberrie. ;)

There's no cooldown so it's effectively more of a stamina healing potion than a buff. Also not a fan of the micromanagement feel of tapping it every ten seconds.

Agreed 10 seconds seems rather short. Even 20 seconds would feel like a better duration

You know, I actually dont know what Tasty mead does. Lol ive never used it :D

There are two Stamina restoring Meads. One of them restores Stamina very quickly with very little drawback. The other one is Tasty Mead.

I mean I don’t have a lot of time in game but I assumed it would be a short term buffed for if you were building something really quickly or cultivating land and maybe you wouldn’t want to stick around very long because of the negative health effects.
