Crafting food comes in two varieties, Rusks and Macarons.

Previously a hotly debated subject for years, the exact effects of each were finally settled when SE published the details, now visible on each item description.

*'''Rusks''' decrease synthesis material loss rate while increasing the rate of high-quality results.
*'''Macarons''' increase the rate of synthesis success and the rate at which a player skills up their craft.
:*These items stack with the various other pieces [[:Category:Craft#Rings|crafting equipment]], however the effects are multiplicative and not additive.
::*Which is to say adding +10 High-quality success rate will '''''not''''' increase a tier 0 synth from an approximate 2% HQ rate to 12%.<br />Instead this rate would be increased by .2% to 2.2%. If you had a 50% chance of HQing (Tier 3) then +10 High-quality success rate would increase your chances to 55%.
