@ 10,000 HP/Mana you recieve 400 points of health/mana per second for a total of 10,000HP/Mana for the total 25 second duration.

@ 15,000 HP/Mana you recieve 600 points of health/mana per second for a total of 15,000HP/Mana for the total 25 second duration.

These have another big advantage. The drink part of the recharge stacks with water

Purified Draneic water alone will recharge my 6970 mana in 27 seconds.
A Festival Dumpling, followed by a water takes 31 seconds.

A dumpling, and water taken simultaneously, will recharge 6970 mana in 16 seconds!

Naaru Rations with water does not do this,
I haven't tried it with conjured mana biscuits yet.

From a Warrior's standpoint (no use for the mana part).

Max level food restores 15000 hp over 30 seconds, or 500 hp/sec, or 12500 over 25 seconds.

This food restores 4% of your HP every seconds for 25 seconds. 4x25 means over the duration you'll restore 100% of your health, plus your natural regen, meaning you'd never need to eat this food for it's full duration (barring leftover dot damage).

If you have 12500 max HP, this dumpling and normal food will restore the same amount of health over 25 seconds. But most classes should have well over that number, me as Fury having nearly double that, and as prot over double.

What this means is that this food is almost or more than twice as good as your normal food, depending on your HP pool.

Excellent food for any level! And a great way to blow coins after you get your silly dresses/suits/recipies (for us alchemsits who can't get any....)

Make your own dumplings at home!

All you need is boiling water, flour, and crisco (or lard if you perfer- butter cannot subsitutue!).

1tsp of crisco to 1.5-2 cups of flower, and ~1/3 cup of boiling water. You want a firm smooth dough. Kneed to dough, let it cool for 15 minuets, then roll to a log and cut into roughly 15-20 peices. Flatten into 4inch circles (dime thickness), and stuff with your favorite meats/veggies. Wrap up tight, then crisp on oil in a frying pan till golden brown (ONLY ON ONE SIDE!), once that has happened- pour over boiling water till it fills about 1/3 of the pan, let steam till water is completely gone from oil mixture (roughly 10 minuets on low heat). I perfer to stuff them with grownd beef thats been maranited in soy sause, mirim, and a shot of sake with green onions, garlic, and ginger root.

The buff you get while eating, Dim Sum, is an actual type of Chinese cuisine, where instead of one main course, you are presented with a large variety of light dishes, and can order as many as you want for a meal. In modern restaurants, waiters usually have carts with numerous dishes on them, which can be ordered from. Customarily, one would have the dishes alongside tea.

The dumplings need to stack higher. I have just under 70 coins left over from the latest festival event; that's nearly 28 stacks of dumplings that can't be mailed to an alt. I'd rather keep the coins around and buy dumplings a few at a time, but then the vendors vanish for another eleven months....

Comment by craftyard

For some reason, if you're a druid in bear or cat form when you eat these, they will NOT regenerate your mana for some reason. If you want to replenish your mana you'll have to shift back to caster form + eat and shift back again.

Do these follow the usual seasonal currency food buff items mechanics and poof X amount of days after purchase or end of seasonal event?

Comment by 12792

These do not have the seasonal food timers or event restrictions like other event foods. They last until eaten or thrown away.

Comment by 510189

After the festival is over, and one still has coins, can they still be purchased? Or does one have to blow all their coin and bank space to hold them?

Comment by Thottbot

any food which uses a % of your health/mana is invaluable endgame, especially for those with insane mana pools or hit points, because you will gain that much more health/mana per tick the more you have to start with.

Comment by Thottbot

if mages could make water that adds x% per second, instead of 4000 mana.
same with food.

ah well, maybe sometime.

i still have 4 stacks of food like this from previous events.
bank is kinda full... --_--

Comment by Thottbot

Not to mention that to get any use of these in end game instances, you'd basically have to have everyone use them. You being able to stand up 10 seconds before everyone else doesn't gain you anything except 10 seconds to annoy everyone with a /dance emote.

Grinding is another story.

Comment by Thottbot

This recipe is great, but I found that adding an extra tsp. of soy sauce and instead of using egg yolk use egg whites that they turn out a lot more flavorful! Also, as opposed to steaming them with a peice of paper underneath, try using a leaflette of cabbage to help retain moisture a little better. Great for holidays, and kids love it! Happy cooking! <3 ^.^

Comment by Allakhazam

Am I correct that you receive only one dumpling per coin or do you get a stack?

Comment by Allakhazam

You get a stack of 8 dumplings... but I think it's a ploy - these are no better than many other consumables, and now i'm stuck carrying around 4 coins, and have to take a LONG trek to go find another elder so i can buy those leggings... which i'll never wear.

You can eat these (among the other +% mana/health foods) while drinking mage water and gain mana ridiculously fast.
