Given the current situation, Warley’s main issue is that, aside from being able to create his exclusive buff foods, he has no other advantages but noticeable disadvantages. Since these foods can be mass-produced, stored, and used by others, Warley becomes a swap character.
Winona once had a similar issue, but it was resolved by giving her exclusive access to teleporters and powerful planar attacks of catapults.
Here are some ideas I’d like to share, enjoy :
1. Push above ur stomach limit
-
Main Dish: When you eat food that exceeds your hunger, health, or sanity cap, the extra stats will be stored and released at a rate of 2 points per second when you take damage, lose sanity, or get hungry.
-
Dessert: While the above ability is active, you can eat another different food to further increase your stat cap.
-
Digestif: You can eat one more additional type of food for even more
These abilities allow you to preload at base instead of carrying 3–4 kinds of food, and encourage variety in what you eat. But not op to make u facetank dmg
2. Boring Stat Boosts
-
The duration of spice buffs is doubled on you.
-
The duration of any food-related buffs is doubled on you.
3. Butcher Mastery
-
Butcher Mastery I: You can use gold to craft a Chef’s Knife. When hitting normal mobs with this knife, they receive a debuff lasting 1 minute. If they die under this effect, their food-type drops are replaced with special ingredients (e.g., spider legs, lizard tails) that can be used for exclusive food recipes.
-
Butcher Mastery II: You can use Thulecite Ore in the ruins to craft a Ancient Chef’s Knife. When hitting bosses with it, it applies a debuff lasting 4 minutes. If the boss dies while under this effect, they drop a special seasoning that can be used on meal:
-
Pheromone Gland of the Spider Queen: For 8 minutes, you can hire spiders.
-
Resin of Treeguard: For 8 minutes, the target u hit will get slowed for 4 sec.

-
Fire Gland of Dragonfly: For 4 minutes, you're immune to fire, deal 1.5x damage, and your attacks ignite enemies (without destroying items—similar to Willow’s fire, just cooks food).
-
Malbatross’s Foie Gras: Allows walking on water for 4 minutes.
-
Honey Sac of Bee Queen: For 4 minutes, restores 4 health per second, and your attacks cause enemie panic.
-
Roe of Crab King: (Effect idea pending)
-
The Orb of the Fuelweaver: Grants invincibility similar to bone armor for 4 minutes (same cooldown mechanic).

Seems too op? Don't forget most of them are only one per seaon or even year
