Fresh Potato Salad

Fresh Potato Salad is a Gourmet Food item that can be eaten by the player or served to NPCs for a strong morale boost. When consumed by the player, it grants +10% Attack Speed, +30 Max Health, and +0.5 Health Regen for 16 minutes. When consumed by NPCs, it gives +35% Happiness.

The item is useful both as a combat food and as a settlement-support food. The attack speed bonus improves damage output for weapon-focused builds, while the extra maximum health and regeneration make it a good all-around survival option for exploration, boss fights, and other dangerous activities. Because its buff lasts for 16 minutes, it is suitable for longer sessions where sustained bonuses matter more than brief temporary boosts.

For NPCs, Fresh Potato Salad is especially valuable when maintaining a town or keeping residents satisfied. The large happiness increase makes it a practical food choice for improving NPC mood, which can help support a more stable settlement. Since it is classified as Gourmet Food, it fits the role of a higher-tier prepared meal rather than a basic consumable.

Its spoilage time is 2 hours, so it should be used relatively quickly after being obtained or prepared. This makes it less suitable for long-term stockpiling than non-perishable items, and players who want to make use of its effects efficiently should plan around its short shelf life.

• Player use: good for combat-oriented food buffs, especially when extra attack speed and durability are both valuable.
• NPC use: provides a large happiness increase, making it a strong town-management food.
• Time limit: spoils after 2 hours, so it is best consumed or distributed promptly.
• Buff duration: the player effects last 16 minutes, giving it a solid mid-length benefit window.
