View source for Guide:Consumables/Consumables usefulness list

''Brief explanation of tiers:''<br>
'''S(Chests)''' - Reserved for rare consumables obtained form chests that last for 5k steps, as they are often way better at anything other consumables may provide.<br>
'''S''' - Best consumables in the game. Should always be used when necessary.<br>
'''A+''' - Really close to S-tier consumables, but they have some downside or have less use cases. Should always be used when necessary.<br>
'''A''' - Overall great food but may have some hard requierments or get outclassed. Should be used when you already have materials for them.<br>
'''B+''' and '''B''' - consumables that have more limited use cases, but still provide good bonuses.<br>
'''C+''' and '''C''' - consumables with very limited use that almost never worth to obtain.<br>
'''F''' - should never be used.<br>
'''5k''' is added to consumables that last for 5k steps and did not make it in '''S(Chests)''' tier.<br>
