Relationship between food/drinks and skill gain

[Aleenik]

I have seen multiple threads on this matter, both in these forums and in others, and have seen conflicting views almost every time. Yet somehow, an admin seems to have never weighed in on the issue. I searched all over and could not find an admin post on it at least. Does anyone have a link to an official confirmation or denial of the link between food/drinks and skill gain? I don't want rumors, which is what most people seem to spew, I just want facts. Thanks for the help.

Drinking water and eating food increases the chances of success and you gain faster as you succeed more. Been on this shard for almost a year now and there are old patch notes that confirm the food drink myth that it does help with success rate until GM. It is pretty accepted. I have never heard a dev confirm on irc or forums but countless players on this shard will. Once gm food and drink no longer effect success rate. Always be full on food/drink when attempting to gain. It gives you optimal gains.
