Characteristics
Overview
An advanced ore tea, provides hydration and temporarily increases your yield from ores a moderate amount.
Keep this cup for the run a raid depends on. Two of you take a jackhammer and a pickaxe out to the sulfur nodes, and the target needs more explosives than you have. The game text gives this cup a moderate, temporary boost to ore yield, and across a long session of heavy swings that adds up to real gunpowder.
| Tier | Boost in the game text | Mixed from |
|---|---|---|
| Basic Ore Tea | small | berries |
| Advanced Ore Tea | moderate | basic ore teas |
| Pure Ore Tea | large | advanced ore teas |
Every advanced cup swallows several basic ones, so it only pays when the run is long and the nodes are good. On metal nodes it also lifts the high quality metal ore that comes out alongside it, often the thing a group runs short of.
Drink at the first node, not at the door, and brew one per player, since the boost is personal. It hydrates too, which saves a stop for water.
