    I'm more concerned about you using more than one of the stackable ingredients when cooking!

    It's been mentioned elsewhere, but any of the mabi cooking "percents" are asking more for... "parts of the whole".

    Like 80 + 10 + 5 = 95 "parts"

    Fish is 80/95 of those parts, so ~84.2%
    10/95 parts for oil, so ~10.5%
    5/95 parts for the salt, so ~5.3%

    So not only is the bar vague as heck...the actual math uses decimal percentages too?

    Who at devcat thought it was a good idea to put percentage behind percentages while using a vague percentage bar?

    Life was simpler when everything just adds up to 100%...OTL

    Yes, there are certain recipes that have decimals.
    The actual recipe listed for broiled Brifne carp is generally rounded as
    85% fish 10% oil and 5% salt
    https://wiki.mabinogiworld.com/view/Broiled_Brifne_Carp

    There are a couple recipes with the %s listed, but if you follow exactly what is listed, you will often get 3-4 stars with % off.
    That explains why decimals are important for recipes.

    I noticed several recipes have percentages that don't make it to 100 due to their obsession of hidden decimals.
    I think they did it to torment us when it comes to making perfect items.
