Hi All;

As stated above, I may have overdosed on "stupid pills" and this question be
considered stupid, but, it's bugging me and I gotta ask.

Below is a paste from the official EQ2 site concerning food/drink.  I'm a
level 31 and a guildie gave me a tier 4, level 40 drink and said this will
improve regen for power over Level 30 drink. I said no, it wont, not for me
at level 31, and we had a minor debate. I was using the tables below as a
reference. He stated that the table was worded wrong and to try the drink.
For the next 30 mins I did seem like I was regenning a little faster (no
chanty in the party using Breeze). Guildie says the table should read, ie,
level 30 drink, for level 30 AND ABOVE (not and below). He argues that with
the table saying "level 30 and below" implies that a level 29 and lower
could use a level 30 drink AND regen faster than a level 20 drink. After
this little debate, I go to the EQ2 site and keep re-reading the below
table, took another "stupid pill" and got my own self confused, because it
DID SEEM like for 30 mins I regenned a little faster (imagination??). In the
table below under the "NOTE" section it says not to waste money on higher
level food/drink that it will be capped by your character's level. Ok, I can
read that as saying ".....ok level 30 and below, means that since I'm a
level 31 my character needs to use the next higher level since this
statement says "level 30 and below"  and regen faster....". However, reading
the table in this manner, level 40 is for level 40 and below, now I CAN'T
use the level 40 as a level 31 and benefit......sigh....this is where I
confuse myself and come to you guys.

 a.. Food/Drink Level - Food/Drink Level is the primary factor that
determines how much health/power the food/drink regenerates while outside of
combat. Food/Drink levels typically appear in 10 level increments (10, 20,
30, 40, 50). It is important that the food/drink level is well matched for
your character's level. As long as the food/drink level is close to equal or
greater than your character's level you should be fine.
   a.. Level 10 - Supplies optimal regeneration for characters level 10 and
lower.
   b.. Level 20 - Supplies optimal regeneration for characters level 20 and
lower.
   c.. Level 30 - Supplies optimal regeneration for characters level 30 and
lower.
   d.. Level 40 - Supplies optimal regeneration for characters level 40 and
lower.
   e.. Level 50 - Supplies optimal regeneration for characters level 50 and
lower.
   f.. Note - while lower level characters can consume higher level
food/drink, the amount of regeneration it supplies will be capped by the
character's level. Basically, don't wast money on food/drink that is too
high level for you character, you won't get more regeneration out of it.
