Crab Soup

Crab Soup is a food item that provides the Diligent Buff. When consumed, it stops non-power tools and weapons from losing durability while they are being used, making it a straightforward utility meal rather than a pure healing or stat-boosting dish.

Its main value is in long work sessions. Because the buff prevents durability loss, Crab Soup is especially useful before spending time mining, chopping, digging, farming, or clearing land with ordinary tools. It also helps in combat if you are relying on weapons that normally wear down over time, since you can keep using them without consuming durability for the duration of the buff. This makes it a practical choice when you want to reduce repair or replacement costs and keep your preferred gear in service longer.

The recipe source lists a cooking time of 3 minutes, with a final output time of 1.5 minutes, and produces 1 Crab Soup per craft. The entry is also associated with an input amount of 1 in the available source data. Since the buff is tied directly to tool and weapon durability, the dish is most efficient when eaten immediately before a task that will involve repeated item use rather than casual travel or passive exploration.

• Best used before extended work sessions that consume durability.
• Particularly valuable for non-power tools, which are the items explicitly affected by the buff.
• Useful in combat when you want to avoid wearing down a durable but important weapon.
• Less useful if you are not planning to use tools or weapons heavily during the buff window.

Because its effect is narrow but strong, Crab Soup fits a preparation-heavy playstyle well. Stocking a few servings lets you save durability on everyday equipment and focus on the task at hand without interrupting your routine to repair tools.
