Introduction
In the vast realm of Eorzea, where culinary adventures abound, the procurement and consumption of fish are an integral part of the player experience. Among the various fish species available, the Fish Eye holds a special place as a valuable ingredient used in the crafting of potent potions and other consumables. However, players must be aware that the Fish Eye has a limited shelf life, and its efficacy diminishes over time. This article aims to provide a comprehensive guide to the Fish Eye expiration dates and preservation techniques to ensure that players can fully utilize this precious resource.
The expiration date of a Fish Eye is determined by the real-world time that has passed since it was caught. It is important to note that the expiration date is not affected by in-game time or the use of preservation methods. The following table summarizes the expiration dates for Fish Eyes of different qualities:
Quality | Expiration Date |
---|---|
Fresh | 24 hours |
Starred | 48 hours |
High-quality | 72 hours |
Why Fish Eyes Expire
The Fish Eye expiration dates are attributed to the naturally occurring enzymes and bacteria that begin to break down the tissue of the fish after it is caught. As time progresses, these enzymes and bacteria multiply, causing the Fish Eye to deteriorate and lose its potency.
While it is not possible to permanently prevent the Fish Eye from expiring, there are several preservation techniques that can significantly extend its shelf life:
Preserving Fish Eyes offers several benefits:
Method | Convenience | Cost | Effectiveness |
---|---|---|---|
Preservation Stones | Convenient and portable | Relatively expensive | Extends expiration date by a limited amount |
Crystals | Pauses expiration timer | Crystals can be expensive | Expiration timer resumes when Crystals are opened |
Retainers | Pauses expiration timer indefinitely | Retainer subscription required | Most effective and cost-effective method |
