Summary
It may have been a little over a weeksinceUbisoftreleasedAssassin’s Creed Shadows. However, it seems that for a handful of players they’re barely discovering this easy way to level up your healing items.
As it turns out, they’re not alone, and they wanteveryone to know so they don’t make the same mistakes they made.

Those Food Vendors Aren’t Just Static NPCs
Taking to Reddit, user ComManDerBG wanted to share a discovery that they made several hours into the game: By interacting with a food vendor, you’re able to permanently increase the number of rations that either Naoe or Yasuke can carry, thus giving you more healing opportunities.
To increase your ration supply, it’s as easy as speaking with a food vendor (marked by an icon on the map). Doing so increases the in-game “Local Dishes” level, which is how you “level up” your supply.

That said,according to the top commenter, it’s not a 1:1 increase, in that you’ll need to talk to a few vendors before seeing an upgrade. In other words, keep talking and meeting with the vendors.
“Are you serious? I’ve played for 44 hours so far and Naoe has 4 rations and Yasuke has 6,“a user commented. They’re not alone, either, as multiple other commenters on the thread shared that it took them far too long to find this out as well.

If you’re able to find all the vendors, Naoe will end up with a total of nine rations, while Yasuke will have 11 in his stash. That’s a pretty significant increase from the measly three and five rations you start out with. Who would’ve figured the NPCs are more than just stand-ins? Not us, that’s for sure.
