Cooking

Ready those Recipes!

I’m delighted to announce that Cooking is finally here! You can access your Kitchen from the Create tab in the navigation bar. I’ll be writing up a Help page for it soon.

At the top, you’ll see your skill level, which increases with every recipe you complete! You’ll have to learn those recipes before you can make them, though, so visit Jay’s General Store to pick up your recipes anytime! (We’ll be making the recipe art different from the food later this month. Right now it’s hard to tell the difference at a glance.) Jay is also selling the tools you need to cook those recipes. Once you have a tool or recipe, you must use them in your inventory before they can be used in your kitchen!

You’ll also get to see your Active Kith cooking alongside you in the kitchen. Each personality has unique phrases, including some that only appear after cooking a recipe! Don’t worry, all but the most finicky of Kith don’t mind hanging out with you even when your tools are dirty. Each tool takes a set amount of time to be cleaned; you should see a cleaning timer beneath the kitchen which counts down ’til you can use the clean tool again to make something new. If you’re really in a rush, you can skip past cleaning by taking the rich person route and buying a clean replacement tool right away! That sure costs a lot of Shards, though…

As always, please be on the lookout for bugs or errors! We’ve scoured this feature very closely, so I doubt you’ll run into anything major, but there may be some image glitches or misspellings or something that I missed during my marathon uploading with club. Please report any technical issues in the Forum and I’ll get back to you ASAP!

For now, I’m off to enjoy a day at Otakon as a birthday present to myself! :) See you all tomorrow. Happy cookin’!

New Items: Candy!

I Want Candy

Is there anything better than candy? No, don’t answer that, I was being rhetorical. My shelves were looking bare with all the prepared foods taken down, but this gives me room to stock the Chocolate Bar, Butterscotch Candy, Rainbow Lollipop, and Bubblegum. Mmmm! Hey, I’m the owner, I’m allowed to sample the goods.

Store Changes AHOY!

Bare Shelves

Sorry to steal you thunder Andre but I need to make a quick warning to all you beautiful testers. I am about to RAVAGE the shelves of Jay's shop in preparation for us to implement some things for Cooking. I didn't want to just rip everything out without warning you all what is going on when you go looking for items. So for a bit things in the General Store will be looking a bit bare, but good things come to those who wait!

Also you might notice that many food items are going to spike in Health value, this is also to prep for cooking.

Sorry for the mess guys, but I am working to clean it up and expand everything out.
A growing pain that is a necessary evil for now. Sorry for any inconveniences this causes for now!

New Items: Socks!

What’s That Smell?

So Miranda and I were having lunch together and she brought up a rather disturbing topic. Is... is it true that none of you own any socks? Like, at all? This whole time I thought the sockless look was just in right now for some reason, not that there was a severe sock drought. Well that does explain why so many of you have been burning through loafers and tennis shoes so quickly...Okay, okay, we can fix this. I'm going to put out a whole load of fresh, clean socks and then the rest of you can choose to include them in your daily wear or not. But for the sake of your shoes I hope you do consider them.

I'll be stocking Tailored Fashions with Ankle Socks and Boot Socks for your daily wear, plus warmer Knee Socks and Thigh High Socks for those of you who enjoy wearing shorts and skirts. I'll even put out those Silk Stockings I've been getting ready in case you have a nice event or presentation to give at the university.

Just, please, if you are all lacking some vital piece of clothing let me know! Next thing I am going to hear you all have had your underwear savaged by the Kith and are going commando...

Bug Fix: 8/9/16

We’re baaaack!

Club has assured me that everyone had a great time while we were away, and that there’s absolutely no need to check the Forum archives for shady deals going on behind my back! Thank goodness. It is so hard to find good, honest help these days. ;)

This week holds some big and small updates for the site! Firstly, Cooking! There are a couple of accidental kinks that Club and I are working out, but you should see a shiny new Dormitory Kitchen later this week! You’ll be able to access it from the navigation bar’s “Create” tab once we have everything in place.

Because of some behind-the-scenes changes that we’re making to accommodate Cooking in its new-and-improved form, I’m going to sneak in some bonus Energy, Health, and Reason points into the Quest rewards during Closed Beta. Those will be deleted out before we move to Open Beta, so take advantage of it while you still can! The other three attributes will remain the same for Quest rewards from Closed Beta to Open Beta. ALL of these rewards will be going into effect sometime this week (probably tomorrow evening).

Unfortunately, we’ve run into a bit of bad news on the Search function. Amazon offers an elastic search, but implementation is more costly than what we can currently afford. So, we’ll be postponing any form of search feature until a later time, probably far after Open Beta. :( I’m very sorry for any inconvenience that causes. In the meantime, the open-source Wikia is an amazing resource with a great search feature available ’til we get ours in place!

We also have the item pagination and descriptions for the Kith profile pages being tested, so you should expect to see that feature added later this week, too!

Remember to please report any problems to the Technical Support Forum. Your browser version is very helpful information if we have to troubleshoot a problem. I'd also like to ask, as a favor, if you could try to replicate a problem so that I know whether it was a strange one-time little bug or whether it is reoccurring for multiple users; this also helps me to sleuth my way to the source of the problem. The more details, the better!

Thank you all again for your help and patience as we work together on making Tattered Weave the best it can be! Click "Read More" to see updated details of bugs and features currently in progress.
