Useful! Thanks for the effort. --Felbryn 16:12, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

Very cool, but the data needs cleaning up a bit. For example, under magic find > boon duration you list Caramel Apple and Chocolate Banana, neither of which affect boon duration. Under condition damage > condition duration, there are items that contain no condition damage, etc. --Chalky (t) 13:44, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

Okay, I'll address each. The Caramel Apple and Chocolate Banana are kind of odd, I'll agree. However, of all the current sections that's the one they fit in best. You'll notice that they don't give "Magic Find", they give "Magic Find while under the effect of a boon". That is something that you only find with MF food that also gives boon duration. It belongs more in that section than it does in just "Magic Find", because they're reliant on having a boon-heavy build. If you don't have at least one boon up at all times, then they're useless foods. Each group of foods has a clear pattern, and these two fit in that group.

Oragnizing this properly would require that I make a new section for "Magic Find with a boon", but that would add unnecessary clutter (IMO).

I have more of a logical reasoning with the condition duration food. I put them in the "Condition Damage" section because that's where I'd go if I was looking for food for a condition build. I'll agree that they would probably go better in either "Special Effects" or a new section made for "Condition Duration", but my concern is that people looking for condition food would miss them. If I renamed the section "Food for condition builds", they'd fit just fine.

In both of those cases, I've stretched the organization rules that I have in place otherwise to put things where they make most sense to me. I could split them up so that they follow the Primary bonus -> Secondary bonus structure that I've mostly used elsewhere, but in my opinion that would make things harder to find. To me, this structure makes the most sense. Dacromir 16:42, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
