Okay, i understand why you are upping the prices on food. Make cook and fishing useful skills. Make money more important, spend your money etc etc. But a few comments, a few weeks ago, richard the innkeeper at the stag, sold meat rolls for 5 coins each. 4 meat rolls to full. Now they cost 70+ coins each. A haunch just the haunch not the whole mutton, just the hauch, costs 120 coins. Okay what if I'm a newbie, I cant afford my lunch. I start with 500 coins, 200 of that i'll spend on my lunch each day! Also, historically, in tudor, a peasant wouldnt earn more than a few crowns each year. How can a peasant afford to eat? Has the stag suddenly become some posh place? if so, why doesnt thomas down the road being the dull and boring place, sell food for 1/2 the price? These food prices make me consider changing occupation to a shepherd, not only do i get to sell the wool but when they grow old and crusty i can kill them off and sell the meat for well 120 coins per leg, plus the body, that would be what, at least 600 coins. Gee I'd be rich. Also, if you are charging according to food value of the food, then that means it will cost me 2-300 every time i go from starving to full, regardless of what I eat. What about budget eating? I know at my local club, they got $5 meals every mon tues, why not have some budget days/functions or something to counteract this huge price increase. Meat rolls used to be cheaper than bread for heavens sake, now they hugely expensive. I cant afford to feed myself! |U6

They can also carve chunks out of many of the animals they kill. When I'm visiting Tara, I like to eat Marauder's leftovers in the lost and found box. Unless you're just sitting around, I bet you can feed yourself off of your kills or you can afford some food. If you are just sitting around, then don't worry about it. Hunger won't kill you. |U6
