♦ Rules ♦

1. Stay Civil

This is a place for friendly discussion, memes, guides, art, gameplay questions, screenshots and the like. Discrimination and harrassment won't be tolerated.

2. Mark Spoilers

It is okay to post about "related games" (such as Age of Calamity and Tears of the Kingdom) but please use the spoiler "censor" and do not put spoilers directly into the title, as the censor doesn't work this way. Posts about other Zelda games might be suited better in general Zelda communities, like the ones listed at the bottom of the sidebar.

3. Offtopic Posts

Anything not related to BotW, like politics, religion, non-Zelda games etc. is better suited elsewhere and will be removed. The same goes for NSFW material.

4. No Advertisements

It is okay to post about merchandise, but links to those "design your own merch" sites will be removed, as those are almost always scams featuring stolen art. Affliate links will be removed as well. This isn't Etsy.

5. Provide Sources

If you're going to post art, comics, guides, screenshots etc. that are not your own OC, please mention the name of the original creator and ideally also a link to their portfolio/website. (Pinterest is almost never the original source)

6. Suggestions are Welcome!

Feedback, requests for improvements and constructive criticism are always appreciated ;)

Cooking in BotW: Crit Probability by Ingredient (lemmy.world)

Link to the spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yO94WSP_sA7Gw3zmEuxKvsAkvqwMjR3xoZiPqYcoeU0/edit#gid=0

The spreadsheet itself and the idea for the tests are from u/_p5e_ on reddit. The only thing I contributed were roughly half of the in-game tests (listed as "jlfd" on the second page), but the rest of the work was done by them, so all credit for that goes to _p5e_.

Explanation:

When you cook, you might get a random "crit" (critical success) in roughly 5% of all cases, that will make the meal/elixir better than usual, like healing 5 more hearts, offering a couple more minutes of an effect, healing more stamina etc. and there are also ways to guarantee crits, like cooking between 23:30 and 00:15 on a Blood Moon night.

Some ingredients also offer a 100% crit chance, like Star Fragments and Dragon Parts, and especially Dragon Horn Shards are popular ingredients as they force every timed effect to last for 30 minutes flat.

... but those aren't the only ingredients that affect crits. A lot of regular monster parts, for example Keese Eyeballs or Hinox Guts, also boost your chances of recieving a crit by a certain percentage (in the example cases +30% each), and a bunch of the seemingly "useless" filler ingredients do the same to a lesser extent (Goron Spice, butter and sugar for example add +10% at least).

I'll be on my deathbed, idly scrolling Future Internet because I have nothing better to do while waiting for the works to give out for the last time, and I'll still be coming across little BotW tidbits that I never knew before. Or it might just be senility, but at that point it won't matter. One last "huh, neat" for the road.
