Lemon Tart

Lemon Tart is a Gourmet Food item that can be eaten by the player for a strong combat boost and by NPCs for a large happiness increase. It is a food item with a limited spoilage time, making it useful as a prepared consumable rather than a long-term stored resource.

When consumed by the player, Lemon Tart grants its effects for 20 minutes:

• +10% Damage
• +10% Crit Chance
• +8 Armor Penetration

These bonuses make it a straightforward offensive food choice, especially for characters who rely on consistent damage output and critical hits. The armor penetration bonus also improves performance against tougher enemies with higher defense, giving the item value in both general combat and against sturdier targets.

NPCs can also consume Lemon Tart, and when they do, it increases their Happiness by 35%. This makes it useful for supporting settlements and maintaining NPC satisfaction alongside its direct player benefits. Since it is a food item, it fits naturally into the broader cooking and food system rather than being a combat-only consumable.

Lemon Tart has a spoilage time of 2 hours, so it should be used relatively promptly after being obtained or crafted. Players who want to keep it available for important fights or for NPC happiness management should account for its limited shelf life when storing food.
