The majority of these buffing items are unfortunately only obtainable via cooking.
However, the result of the painstaking activity of gaining the recipes will be worth it, as most of the buffing food items inEiyuden Chroniclegrant the entire party bonuses, which means that more than just one party member is affected. The result of an item’s buff can easily tip the balance toward the player’s party, even when they are faced with the most difficult enemy in the game.
