Earthen Food Racial slight oversight?

Community General Discussion
1

As the title suggests, Earthen arent allowed to eat/drink traditional food/water as we have to consume Khaz Algar cut gems to get our hp and mana back.

I LOVE THIS FEATURE BTW this isnt me trying to get them to change it but maybe tweek it in some way

I main hpala and when i realised that i cant drink standard inn water i began to do some research, spent a couple hours with some guildies looking at prices on the AH and then spending some time making gems to see if the value of ore to prospecting to cut gems was worth it.

TLDR it aint, stuff on the AH is very expensive atm and the levels needed to go from raw ore to gem is stupid xd Obviously prices will drop and become more accessible with time but the amount of gems myself as a Hpala will need for m+ pushing/spam at the start of the season im looking at spending alot of gold either buying stuff from the AH or investing an alt into JC

Theres the obvious workaround of getting a mage table but im not going to hold a M+ spot just for a mage for the sole purpose of giving me food so i can maintain my mana in a dung

The secondary stats are sub par to normal food as well which i kinda get as they stay through death but would be nice to see those get a slight buff or perhaps allow us to eat main stat food as well? the changes wont make the racial op as Pandas can get double food buffs soooo.

Again i love the idea of having to eat gems for sustenance and not asking for it to be removed or massivley overhauled, just looking out for the fellow healer mains that raced changed to Earthen like myself for the coming weeks xd

Usable Items

  • Health / Mana pots
  • Mana Buns / Healthstones
  • Slumbering Soul Serum (Alchemy potion that puts you in a state of focus for 10secs to restore mana)

Plenty of ways to maintain your mana with zero cost or very low cost. I was concerned earlier as potions weren’t usable but now health and mana pots are usable it’s fine.

valid workarounds but

Healthstones/Healthpots have a CD and share a CD with DPS pots

Manabuns require a mage which cant alwasy guarantee unless i save a spot for them every run or seek one every time i log in

Serums only give 300k mana from my current 2.5mil total and are on a 5min CD so not very handy

Just start a normal dungeon with followers, the NPC mage will set a table for you at the start and you can leave right away with no penalty.

Thank you for this! What a great and easy work around. I never realised the mage layed a table in follower dungeons
First thing Il start doing when I log in on my holy priest :+1:

Unless they changed it recently Healthstones do not share a cooldown with either health potions or with burst potions.

Nor do health potions. The only potions that do are utility potions like invisibility.

I don’t like that racial at all
and i genuinely hope they get rid of it completely

Honestly they should just allow them to eat any food and gain the health/mana regen but not the well fed buff. I get the idea behind it, but it’s not practical and gameplay should come first.

Love that you said tldr yet continue to write an essay :slight_smile:

14

You can get mage cake by joining a follwer dungeon

15

what food/gem to eat to get stat buffs then?
i didnt read enough about the race so just blew 50k on cooking xD

Don’t trust this sleazy person.

Just enter a follower dungeon with an instant queue and grab your free mage food at the start. :+1:
