Description

Beverages is the skill used when crafting some drinks and oils using a fruit press and/or still.

Both harvested and crafted fruits and berries can be used with the fruit press.
Some harvested, farmed, and botanized items can be used with the fruit press to make oils. These are used in cooking and lighting lamps.
Some drinks, like alcohols, are used to regenerate stamina while climbing or doing other intensive actions.
Alcoholic beverages go through several steps, including fermenting in a small wine barrel and distilling in the still. Not all recipes require both.
Not all drinks use the beverages skill, but may instead be dairy food making or hot food cooking.

When tasting from a sealed container, quality information will be returned based on skill:

For non-alcoholic beverages, tasting will return a message with the range of the quality, or if a player has above 75 beverages, the exact quality. This may be a number range or a comment of whether it is poor, average, etc, depending on the item.
For alcoholic beverages the quality bands shown are:
- Under 20ql: it has a very weak strength
- Over 20ql: it has a weak strength
- Over 35ql: it has a medium strength
- Over 50ql: it is mostly strong
- Over 65ql: it is strong
- Over 80ql: it is very strong
- Over 95ql: it is mind blowingly strong
