Tutorial TutorialNew Recipes: Mushrooms
Othidar is a Real Fun-guy
Well, I am a man of my word. I promised you tadpoles I'd teach you about that old Mushroom Log moldering in your kitchens if anyone showed me a properly-made Golden Apple Smoothie. And since several of you rose to my challenge, I got things ready in a hurry.
The first thing you’re going to need to do is get some plain old Mushrooms. I think you have plenty of them back in Hope if you don't want to wander the forest for any wild seed mushrooms. Then you need either A Kiss, A Sigh, or A Tear to make the delicious Portobello Mushrooms, Cremini Mushrooms, or Shiitake Mushrooms. This process takes the Mushroom Log and as easy as stuffing the ingredients inside the log to let it do its magic.
Once you have made yourself a little collection of fresh fungus, you can make four brand new meals. Some of these star the mushrooms; in others they will be more of a flavor accent. Both the Lentil Quinoa Salad and Mushroom Soup are a good place to start when cooking with mushrooms. They may take a few ingredients but they are fairly easy to get. The Sizzling Quackrometz is a hot dish that takes some skill to prepare, in addition to a well-stocked kitchen. But if you can get it right, it is a fairly fancy dish to show off. And speaking of fancy dishes, well, this last recipe, Stir Fried Mushrooms, only takes two ingredients. But the four leaf clover honey is a pain to not burn. I don't know if the luck in it applies to everything in the world except cooking this dish, but I can remember burning plenty attempts at this dish in my youth. I think it’s something special if you can get it properly golden without burning, and can elevate any dinner menus you have planned.
Hopefully I was able to provide a nice mix of meals here for all kinds of palates. I'm going to mull over what to teach everyone next. You’ve all been doing a good job with what I've been spouting off so I think I might be able to give you a bigger challenge next time.
Code Update: 5/12/17
Another small code update for you all, this time involving the shops:
The cooldown timer will now show your inventory count (how many of an item you already own) and the Preview button (to preview apparel). We've also tweaked the cooldown so that purchases made in the Headmaster's Office shouldn't cause any cooldown.
We've also added the Decline button to Quest pop-ups, so you don't have to flip back to the Quest page in order to Decline an active Quest.
Please note that you may not see this update right away, and the restocking may look a bit strange for the first one or two times after you login. So please only report issues to the Technical Support Forum if they last past about a half hour on your account.
Thanks again for all your great suggestions to make Tattered Weave the best it can be! :)
New Recipes: Smoothies!
Smoothed Over
The spring season always brings with it a growth spike of Stinging Nettles here in the Enchanted Forest, so come visit Elven Cuisine to take advantage of our fresh harvest. While I don’t recommend eating them raw, they can be used in a variety of recipes for those with more adventurous palates. Take a Stinging Mint Smoothie for example: the perfect thing to clear out any allergies you might be experiencing. If you want something a little... easier on the throat I have a few more smoothie recipes I could teach you tadpoles. I’ve been wondering how well Miranda is going to handle the heat once it starts getting hotter. Does Hope have the same kind of summers we do?
I’m not fully sure I understand Hope students’ tastes yet, but I tried to create some smoothies I thought would appeal to you while including our own traditional flavors. On the easier end to make, we have the Strawberry Chocolate Smoothie, Chocolate Hazelnut Smoothie, Zucchini Dandelion Smoothie, and the Rasping Radish Smoothie. Anyone with a bit of experience in the kitchen should be able to make those without too much trouble.
Getting a little more complex, either due to presentation or how to handle the ingredients, we have the Creamsicle Smoothie, Lucky Clover Smoothie, Red Hot Smoothie, and the Avoreal favorite, Seedy Smoothie. You are really going to want to make sure you blend that last one very, very well, or don’t chew any chunks you encounter while drinking.
Finally I have three very special smoothies for those of you who have really dedicated yourself to the craft of cooking. Each one is its own magical experience, because it took literal magic to take you on this journey of flavor. The Good, The Bad, The Berry Smoothie takes all three familiar forest flavors and mixes them into one cup. The Sunset Smoothie is perfect for cooling you off no matter how hot it may be outside. Lastly, the Golden Apple Smoothie will, of course, take a Golden Apple to make, thus making it the most difficult of the smoothies to craft. If you tadpoles can show me a properly made Golden Apple Smoothie, I’ll fish out some more recipes to share. Maybe I’ll haul out Mushroom Log and teach you how to properly seed your own fresh mushrooms.
Code Update: 5/8/17
A few updates are going into effect today around the site!
1. The Recipes will now display their Level information in the Kitchen, so you can see when you'll be able to find it in stores. You may notice this happening gradually, as we manually update each item.
2. Flip A Coin has been debugged so that the free flip should be working correctly now. Please message me if it's not working for you!
3. Tags are now displayed within brackets, so it should be easier for newbies to see and understand that tags are typed like [@Diana] on the Forums.
We've got a lot more updates in progress behind the scenes, so thank you all again for the great suggestions! :)
Feedback Forum: Newbies, Part 2
Hello again, everyone! Thank you for your patience as we shift the site to be more user-friendly.
Today I've got a big update: new Tutorials! I've kept a link to the old Tutorial page for the time being, but eventually that will be deleted as it's already obsolete. Later on, I'll also be porting the new Tutorials over into a text-only version for users who prefer reading through it that way.
Please take a look and let me know what you think! If there's any crucial newbie information that you want to see included, let me know in the replies. Please also keep in mind that I've read, reread, and edited these things over a hundred times, so you may notice small typos or button-click errors that slipped past my tired eyes. If you notice anything of the sort, you can let me know in a comment here and I'll try to collect all those fixes for a later time. :)
Thank you all again for helping to make Tattered Weave the best it can be!
