Ashes of Creation Dev Tracker

LOVE me a good sprinkle of lore. Steven is definitely keeping his cards close to his chest on the livestreams in terms of lore. More often than not, lore questions don't get answered because he sincerely doesn't want to spoil any of the incredible work that our lore and narrative teams are doing.

I looooooove lore so I keep myself in the dark when it comes to much of the lore behind Ashes of Creation. With that said, I love that you're also excited to get more sprinkles of story when and where we can! <3

This is certainly something we'll be taking a close look at during our testing phases! Much of the mechanics in our combat system, including dodging, are still being tested and tweaked :)

I'd love to have actual alcoholic beverages in Verra so we could play drinking games from the computer over tavern games.

What kind of c*cktails and brews do you think the races of Verra would create and enjoy? Any fantasy c*cktails or brews you know of or can think of?

In short, anything you could put your hands on and distil :) I think beverages (and other dishes) from the Underrealm could be particularly intriguing: Capling Gin, Sitari Sake, Mycelian Swill...

I LOVE your idea for underrealm beverages!! You're going to really like one of the fun recipes inspired by Verra we'll be sharing soon :wink:

Brewing, winemaking and distilling!!

That's the right idea! What're your favorite brews, wines, and spirits? Could you put a Verran twist on em'? ^_^

Azherae

Well, I don't normally get these in games even though they would fit in most without additional itemization.

Lasagna, Tiramisu, Cod Croquettes.

I guess I can imagine that the Cheese Gratin in BDO is a lasagna, but no! I must stand up for my favorites.

You have some 🔥 taste there, friend! 😤✊

Apple and Pecan Pie, Cheesecake, (Thick) Ribeye with Mashed potatoes, Cup of Black Tea or Green Tea. Grilled Asparagus. Cup of Chianti wine. Mochi Ice cream. Fully loaded Baked Potatoe. grilled Lamb Kabob. Pepperoni pizza. Pastor Street Tacos. And Last but not least a Burger and fries.

Woooo! Some bomb choices here! Al pastor tacos are some of my personal favorites. Which races do you think would enjoy which of these foods? 🤔🤤

Azherae

Mushroom Cheese Melt on Rye Bread!

Don't gimme prompts like this, @Vaknar, you'll get like 300 foods.

I'll behave (but I'll think about anything that is outside what I normally get from games... Duck is on the menu, right? How about Scorpion?)

Ahhhh, yes! I do recall this post! I love this stuff too, haha!

That recipe sounds 💯Go on, show me some more recipes! 😈

From what I've seen the Py'Rai are the closest to wood elves. If they are hunters then some Rabbit and Deer/Venison specialities. Humans would probably be more likely to have cow & chicken dishes due to farming.

Brilliant! Any favorite small game dishes you enjoy that would inspire what the Py'Rai might enjoy? 😀

Curry and each race prefers their own variation to the curry dish.
for instance the elves prefer vegetable curry, dwarves beef curry, humans pork cutlet curry.

Fantastic idea! I would love to sit down and try all 9 variations of curry 🤤

"Canjica Nordestina" a dish from Northeast of Brazil made of corn, a really delicious dessert

I had to look this up! It looks soooooooo good! 🤤
