Hearty Mountain Logger’s Stew

Hearty Mountain Logger’s Stew is a Feast that raises your health by 45, stamina by 45, and health regeneration by 3 hp/tick for 50 minutes. To prepare it, you’ll need to combine 2 Wolf Skewers, 3 Onion Soups, 4 Carrots, and Mountain Peak Pepper Powder at a Food Preparation Table.

Acquisition

• When cooking up a Hearty Mountain Logger’s Stew, you’ll need to collect 2 Wolf Skewers, 3 Onion Soups, 4 Carrots, and some Mountain Peak Pepper Powder before combining them at a Food Preparation Table
• You will need a Serving Tray to interact with your Hearty Mountain Logger’s Stew

Here are some quick facts about the Feast’s ingredients:

• Wolf Skewer is a Mountain-tier recipe that combines Wolf Meat, 2 Mushrooms, and an Onion in a level 3 Cauldron
• Onion Soup is a Mountain-tier food prepared by cooking 3 Onions in a level 2 Cauldron
• Carrots are grown from the Carrot Seeds you’ll find in the Black Forest
• Mountain Peak Pepper Powder is an herb blend sold by the Bog Witch at 140 Coins for 5 powders

Feasts differ from regular foods in that you can eat from them up to 10 times. The buff you get by eating a Feast lasts 50 whole minutes and is usually balanced in terms of health and stamina bonuses. Unlike regular foods, you can’t eat a Feast by right-clicking it in your inventory, and have to first place it on a flat surface.

Before you start cooking and eating Feasts, you’ll need to find the Bog Witch trader in the Swamp. When you do, buy a Serving Tray from her for 140 Coins. The tray is used to place Feasts and set up foods and Meads as decorations. The witch will also sell you various herbs and spices. When looking to cook Hearty Mountain Logger’s Stew, you’ll need to buy some Mountain Peak Pepper Powder from the witch. She starts selling them priced at 140 Coins per 5 powders after you’ve defeated Moder, the Mountain biome boss.

Since this is a Mountain Feast, the main ingredient you’ll need for it are Onions. This deceptively elusive vegetable is found as Onion Seeds inside the chests set up inside abandoned buildings of the Mountain biome. You’ll then want to plant these seeds using a Cultivator tool (Corewood x5, Bronze x5) in some soil around your home base.

Aside from Onions, Wolf Skewer also requires Wolf Meat. You get that by hunting Wolves, a very common enemy of the Mountain biome. And then, you’ll also need some Mushrooms. Mushrooms grow on the ground in the Meadows, Black Forest, and Swamp biomes. When you pick them, they take 240 minutes to respawn. To actually craft a Wolf Skewer, you’ll need to cook Wolf Meat, 2 Mushrooms, and an Onion in a level 3 Cauldron.

Onion Soup is a very simple recipe, provided you have an Onion farm going. You will simply need to combine 3 Onions in a level 2 Cauldron to create a bowl of Onion Soup.

Carrots are an early recipe, and probably the first food you’ve learned how to farm. They initially grow as wild Carrots in the Black Forest biome. When collected, those wild Carrots become Carrot Seeds you’ll then want to plant with the Cultivator.

When everything is ready, head over to your Food Preparation Table (Iron x5, Finewood x20, Leather Scraps x15) and combine 2 Wolf Skewers, 3 Onion Soups, 4 Carrots, and Mountain Peak Pepper Powder into a Hearty Mountain Logger’s Stew. Afterward, you can use the Serving Tray to place the Feast on a flat surface.

Uses

Feasts are intended to be eaten for their buffs, but you can also place them down as base decorations.

Placing a Feast

If you’re looking to eat a Feast, you’ll need to first place it on a flat surface. To do that, assign a Serving Tray to your hotbar and press the associated button. Clicking the right mouse button then will open a crafting menu. The first two tabs of that menu will let you place food and Mead on various surfaces. The third tab is dedicated to Feasts. Go to the Feasts tab, select Hearty Mountain Logger’s Stew and place it using your cursor.

The description for the Serving Tray implies that you need a table for your Feasts. Actually, you can put them on just about any flat surface. With your Feast placed in the world, approach and interact with it. This will let you take a bite from the Feast. In total, you can eat from a Feast up to 10 times. If you want to clean up after yourself after, you can do so by using the Serving Tray’s Remove function.

Eating a Feast

Unlike regular foods, you don’t eat a Feast from your inventory. But apart from that, they work much the same. When you eat from a Hearty Mountain Logger’s Stew, your health goes up by 45, stamina by 45, and health regeneration by 3 hp/tick for 50 minutes. You can combine these effects with up to two other foods, but can’t eat from a Hearty Mountain Logger’s Stew more than once at a time.

You’ll initially gain the full listed effects from eating Hearty Mountain Logger’s Stew, but they’ll grow weaker with time. When the buff only has 50% of its duration left, or 25 minutes, the buff icon will flash and you’ll be able to eat from the Feast again and refresh the effects.

Helpful Tips

• Hearty Mountain Logger’s Stew grants exactly the same benefits as the Sailor’s Bounty Feast but uses the ingredients mainly found in the Mountains biome as opposed to Sailor’s Bounty’s Ocean
• While technically a Mountain-tier recipe, the Mountain Peak Pepper Powder only appears in the Bog Witch’s stock after you’ve defeated Moder, the Mountain boss, effectively completing the biome
• After placing a Feast down, you can remove it using a Serving Tray, and it will go back into your inventory. However, if you eat from a Feast just once, removing it completely destroys the rest of it
• In what has to be a minor bug, if you spawn a Feast using a console command, you’ll only be able to have a single one of them in a stack, but it will weigh 1.0 instead of 10.0
