Consumable Items

There are several types of consumable item: Food, Potions, and Magic Consumables.

Food is primarily obtained by Hunting, Farming, and Fishing, or certain foods may be found in shops or dropped in Combat. Generally only basic ingredients are available from Tasks and Combat, and making more complex (and more beneficial) food items requires a pet with a sufficient Cooking skill crafting multiple ingredients together. Higher-complexity food items have an improved effect on the Mood of the pet that eats them, and certain items give temporary Characteristic boosts as well. Food items are also requested often by shopkeeper NPCs in place of currency, so even if your pet is picky and won't eat veggies it's a good idea to keep some on hand.

Potions are craftable via Alchemy or can be obtained from several NPCs, namely Polymorphia or from Exentrix in the NPC Marketplace if you bring xem xir requested foods and crafting material. Potions can boost a pet's Characteristics temporarily (generally for 1 day, though Eegees will get an extra 2-6 days of effect from potions), give some sort of beneficial effect in Combat, permanently change their eye color, or, rarely, have a different random effect. All of Exxentrix's potions have a chance to cause these random effects, with xir Unstable potions being the most... well... unstable. Recorded secondary effects include multiplying a pet's weight & length or dividing it drastically, causing an explosion which injures the pet, increasing the likelihood for Random Events for 1 day on your account, satiating your pet's hunger for a week (this doesn't seem to affect Vhers, unfortunately), causing your pet to refuse to enter Combat for 24 hours as it's "too infatuated with Everything to harm another being," or making the pet sick and unable to consume further potions for a week.

Magic Consumables are generally rare drops from high-level Combat or from the Celebration quests seasonally, with the exception of Retry Tokens which are always available from The Spectre on the Combat home screen. Several Celebrations introduce a time-limited Magic Consumable, such as Chocholate Coins for Long Night or Spectral Petals for First Blossom, but there are currently only 6 Magic Consumables available unconditionally year-round:

• Retry Tokens give you back all the points spent on your pet's Characteristic improvements or Spellcasting improvements, depending on which screen you use it on. They can only be used while your pet isn't in Combat or Gathering, and if you reset your pet's Spellcasting improvements any ongoing Spells they're maintaining will be immediately cancelled.
• Prismabrushes are used to change a pet's Color to one of the four Basic Colors at the appropriate location; see Colors for more details. New accounts get one Prismabrush, and more can be found occasionally alongside a new pet if you find one in the wild. They're not usually expensive to trade for, but the price will fluctuate depending on the amount of new players joining the game, making the item an unintentional litmus test for the popularity of Chimeric at any given moment.
• Ritual Notes are used to gain more Spellcasting Improvements, and are the only way for a pet to learn any of the Grand Spellcasting improvements for the first time. They're more common than any of the other Magic Consumables (except for Retry Tokens) and multiple are usually available from Celebrations, but even so they command a high price in trading due to just how many are required for a "maxed out" pet: 55 Ritual Notes are needed for a max-level pet to learn every Spellcasting improvement in the game.
• Bone Dust can be applied to a pet to flip its color scheme to a high-exposure, neon-and-black version of the color that fans call the "shiny" version of the design. This change can be undone by taking your pet to the Beach at the Edge of Everywhere and choosing "Go for a swim," but you don't get the Bone Dust back! Bone Dust can also be mixed into bodypaint wearables to make a neon/darklight version of the original color, and is a required component in applying the Reanimated Color to a pet.
• Radiant Candle, when used, gives the message "Darkness has been warded off!" and puts a small candle icon at the top right corner of the site next to your avatar. What this means is that the time is treated as Day at all times for your account—your pets are able to Gather or enter Combat between the hours of 10pm and 6am, talk to NPCs who are usually only awake during Day and purchase items from them, and you get Day-specific Random Events while navigating the site no matter the time. This also ends up stopping you from experiencing any Night-only NPCs or Random Events, but many players consider the tradeoff worth it because the majority of useful shops & Random Events occur during the Day. A Radiant Candle lasts 1 week, though you can mouse over the candle icon and select "Snuff out" at any time before the week is over to end the effect.
• Molding Clay allows you to either change your pet's Form or modify their Form-specific customization options. Shortened to the nickname "MC" by most players, these are one of the highest-demand items on the site due to the wide range of use-cases and extreme rarity. Mud-aligned boss enemies seem to have a higher chance of dropping it in Combat, so most high-level Combat farming builds focus on quickly and efficiently defeating Mud bosses.
