Real Simple request. Add the “hearty” aspect of foods to the Epicurean racial. If panda racial is already tied to a consumable item it would seem that allowing the consumable to persist through death using a feature already in the game for several years now (between the DF embellishment and the new “hearty” foods) would be a small QOL change but would allow pandas to maintain their racial bonus like other races do already, just at a reduced expense for the consumable.
I recognize that this or some version of this has been mentioned in the past but it’s been quite a while and that was before the design was already in the game. Hopefully some fresh eyes may see this as a reasonable adjustment.

This reinforces what I, you and many other players have thought about the changes this racial should have had for many years.
Just a few minor adjustments and suggestions for WoW Retail.
Same Color Icons
Reusing the same icon for different abilities in various parts of the game isn’t inherently problematic. However, some abilities could benefit from a distinction in background color, especially to aid colorblind players in identification. For instance, when playing as a gnome hunter, both Wing Clip and Escape Artist share the same icon and background color, as evidenced in the image below, suggesting the potential fo…
I’ve made this post before but Pandaren Racials could use some love, since 11.0.7 is changing some racials, now is the perfect time for some adjustments.
Bouncy - Honestly this perk is great and doesn’t need adjustments.
Epicurean - This perk is undertuned compared to other passive stat racials, additionally without food that persists through death, if a Pandaren dies during an encounter their racial bonus goes to zero. Allowing food buffs to persist through death by default, while also giving…
TL;DR - The way Epicurean currently works only provides a player a buff after:
They purchase food with in-game gold
They spend 10 seconds sitting and eating
The buff falls off with death
I propose this racial get reworked to maintain player power balance while removing some of the “hassles” of the current buff.
Meditative Focus - Pandaren’s deep focus provides a 1% increase to a secondary stat (Haste, Crit, Mastery, or Versatility). Your highest stat is always chosen
I like this as it main…
So, the Pandaren racial “Epicurean” that gives double the effect of any food eaten. It’s a great, fun racial. Adds a lot of flavor (no pun intended) to Pandaren. However, there’s a problem with how it works in PVP. This is already an age-old problem, since Pandaren were introduced. In WoD they gave us a food item, Pre-Mixed Pot of Noodles to help alleviate this. But we still have to go to Ashran and buy stacks upon stacks of noodles like we’re a starving college student. On top of having to go t…
Hi,
I noticed that Pandaren wanting to take advantage of their Epicurean racial trait (+100% Well Fed effect) in arenas must still rely on the Pre-Mixed Pot of Noodles sold by the Ashran PvP vendors. The problem is that the food has not been readjusted for SL after the level squish: it requires level 40, and gives +8 Versatility. With the Epicurean buff, that amounts to +16 Versatility, or about +0.4% Versatility at level 60 (before diminishing returns at higher values). From WoD to BfA, Pre-Mi…
The item is intended to give pandaren stats via their well fed racial “epicurean” where they would otherwise be lacking compared to other races and could could be consumed anywhere in the game, most notable in rated pvp including arenas.
However it seems to have slipped through the cracks for the release of dragonflight and still gives the same amount of versatility points at level 70 as it did back in shadowlands at level 60, that being 21 before calculating the racial which doubles it to 42 o…
Epicurean: Your love of food allows you to receive 100% more of the stats from Well Fed effects. This effect persists after deaths and in all environments.
So Pandaren can use it in BG, RBG, Arena environments .
Easily the most reliable thing in WoW since release.
I was wondering about the food buff the pandas get, does it help? I’ve never really did the cooking profession to begin with, so I’m totally in the dark about what buffs normal food give. And is it the food the pandas make that has the racial buff or can they buy or get food others make and get the food buff?
Would you say it’s BIS for most classes? (Best in stomach)
Panda food gives 21 vers, in SL it gave 1% vers, which is fine all good and dandy. but now the scaling is even worse. it gives like .2% which makes it essentially useless. can we get a lil panda noodle buff to have it adjusted to current expansion pleaseee??
We’re so cute, how do they resist us?
It’s like looking through a mirror through time when you compare the racial abilities available to the allied races, the pandaren, and even worgen and goblins. I know this is an unpopular opinion but screw balance; rule of cool is more important.

Yeah, I can see this is as a nice but small QoL update that would be nice but not break anything.
