11Tamale is an Uncommon-tier cooked food in Windrose. Eating it increases Maximum Health and grants +5 Mastery for 15 minutes, which makes it the earliest crit-chance food a Mastery build can keep in rotation.44Summary66PropertyValueRarityUncommonStationCooking FireBuff duration15 minutesEffectIncreases Maximum Health, +5 Mastery88Recipe99Tamale is crafted at a Cooking Fire from one Crocodile Tail and one Leek. It is the only cooked recipe with a non-zero craft time, taking 10 seconds per batch of one.1111IngredientQuantityCrocodile Tail1Leek11313Ingredient Sourcing1414Crocodile Tail: a butchering drop from crocodiles in the Cursed Swamps, so this dish is gated behind reaching that biome.Leek: wild Leek grows inside ruin structures in the Cursed Swamps, and harvesting it also yields Leek Seeds that can be planted at a Seedbed for a steady supply.1616How Food Buffs Work1818Windrose allows up to two active food buffs at once, which must come from different dishes. Eating Tamale while another uncommon-tier dish is active replaces one of the two slots. Pairing Tamale with a different-stat dish (for example, a Vitality food alongside a Strength food) gives the full benefit of both slots. Because Tamale carries the Mastery stat, it stacks cleanly with a pure Max Health dish such as Pastechi.2020See Also2222Cooking - the crafting system this recipe belongs toCooking Recipes - full recipe indexFood - food category overview2424Verified Recipe Data2626PropertyValueRarityUncommonEffectIncreases Maximum Health, +5 MasteryDuration15 minutesCraft stationCooking Fire (Level 1)Craft time10sOutput1Stack size102828Ingredients2929IngredientQuantityCrocodile Tail1Leek13131Best Use3232Tamale is the early-game Mastery (crit chance) buff for crit-scaling builds before Burrito unlocks. Since each point of Mastery is worth 0.5% critical hit chance, the +5 buff adds roughly 2.5% crit while it is active, which suits Precision and Agility damage dealers. Both ingredients come from the Cursed Swamps, so farm Leek and crocodile tails together on a single swamp run, then craft in bulk where the 10-second craft time is the only bottleneck.3434Flavor3636"Corn dough with filling, wrapped in corn husks and steamed.
