I just realized the benefit with Healing Nectar: one combat turn can heal 16 points, instead of taking two turns via Salted Pork.
Still havent found a use for those items... except selling, so by all means raise the prices, raise the prices!
I've used them in tight spots, and usually try to have each hero with a couple. Just tonight Lady Irane was able to defeat the five golems in the Arena quest w/ the help of pork and nectar...and LIBERAL uses of the Thunderstrike and Fireball spells (teleporting to opposite end of battlefield, fireballing golems, and teleporting to opposite end when they got to close).
I wish chickren, I don't eat pork.
Maybe a generic "meat kabob" instead?
for example - the spiders ebs you harvest could be used for a one shot web spell, or the wolf pelts you get could be used as a short term armour buff, like wearing a leather helm that can wear out - sorta, but not as smelly, you get the idea.
I agree. These items should do something. Right now only a few (pelts, midnight stones) are useful, and only through quests. Everything else could essentially be substituted with gildar rewards at present.
