Taste Identification Overview
The Taste Identification skill serves multiple purposes, including detecting poisoned food, enhancing Poison-based effects, and assisting in the Plant system. Players can use this skill alongside a Planter's Spade to determine the Ideal Heat, Water, and Soil levels for plants.
Additionally, whenever a player has Food Satisfaction from consuming food, they receive increased Mana Regeneration and Swing Speed. The cooldown for using Taste Identification on food is 2 seconds.
Poisoning and Taste Identification
Taste Identification enhances Poison-related effects in the following ways:
- When a player applies Poison (via spells or weapons) to a creature, its damage is increased by:
100% * (Taste ID Skill / 100)
- The Taste ID skill no longer reduces a target creature's Poison Resistance. However, players can still reduce Poison Resistance through Poison Kit upgrades or Mastery Chain Links.
- Reduces the chance for a player's Poison spell to be resisted by:
50% * (Taste ID Skill / 100)
- Reduces a target’s chance to cure Poison by:
50% * (Taste ID Skill / 100)
