Piece of Crumbed Darkwater Fish

Piece of Crumbed Darkwater Fish is a consumable food item described as a chunk of crumbed fish from the depths of the Darkwater Reservoir; the original locale name Dunkelwasser is rendered as ACH_SECTOR_5, so the fish is associated with the ACH_SECTOR_5 Reservoir. The item represents one of the individual servings yielded when a Crumbed Darkwater Fish is prepared and presented on a platter. It is obtained by baking a Raw Crumbed Darkwater Fish into a finished Crumbed Darkwater Fish, placing that Crumbed Darkwater Fish on a surface or platter, and then taking a Piece of Crumbed Darkwater Fish from the platter. One prepared platter yields four Pieces of Crumbed Darkwater Fish.

Pieces of Crumbed Darkwater Fish restore only hunger and provide no thirst recovery. The amount of hunger restored scales with the character’s Cooking Skill according to discrete brackets. The hunger restored values are:

• Cooking Skill 0–4: restores 21 hunger.
• Cooking Skill 5–9: restores 28 hunger.
• Cooking Skill 10–14: restores 31 hunger.
• Cooking Skill 15–19: restores 34 hunger.
• Cooking Skill 20: restores 38 hunger. Thirst fill is 0 at all cooking skill levels.

Practical notes and interactions:

• To convert Raw Crumbed Darkwater Fish into Pieces, bake the raw form into Crumbed Darkwater Fish first; placing the finished Crumbed Darkwater Fish on a platter lets you remove up to four Pieces from that single platter.
• Because Pieces grant no thirst, they are best used when hunger is the primary need to address; pair them with thirst-restoring items when both needs must be satisfied.
• Investing in Cooking Skill increases the hunger efficiency of each Piece, with the largest incremental gains occurring when advancing across the listed skill brackets.
• The item’s flavor text and in-game descriptions consistently identify its origin as the deep waters of the ACH_SECTOR_5 Reservoir; this implies thematic association with fish resources gathered or sold from that location.
