My dwarf consumes iron rations and water at the same rate, my Iksar's iron rations last way longer than his water.

Can confirm dwarves are just fatasses.

Does your iksar forage, and then snack on the foraged food?

Nope.

Motherfucker if I told you I was starving, you would tell me fasting is good for the soul

I figured I should know how this stuff actually works, so I tested out some durations tonight by recording Greengrocer slowly eating [Meat Pie] (meal) versus [Iron Rations] (hearty meal), then later reviewing the footage and comparing timestamps when the items were consumed. I also tested duration of [Flask of Water].

As far as level 1 Halfling Druids are concerned...

They will consume 1 [Meat Pie] every 2,028 seconds (33 minutes, 48 seconds)

They will consume 1 [Iron Ration] every 2,028 seconds (33 minutes, 48 seconds)

They will consume 1 [Flask of Water] every 2,028 seconds (33 minutes, 48 seconds)

Conclusion: Halfling Druids get very hungry and thirsty every 33 minutes, 48 seconds regardless of what they are eating. It is probably safe to extrapolate these figures (relatively) across all races and classes.

In other words, I'm a bit of a liar when I tell you your Mammoth Steaks are actually going to last longer than your Rations. I can only blame myself so much, though... Norrath needs labeling laws!! It says RIGHT ON THE PACKAGING that it is a "hearty" meal!! What's a grocer to do? /sigh

Here is the raw footage (or "prof" as it has somehow been labeled here), in all its seven-and-a-half-hour-long glory: http://www.twitch.tv/portasaurus/b/535418454

Grocer is not responsible for false advertising on food products; FDA regulates that and the manufacturer is responsible


Greengrocer free and clear of all responsibility and confirmed SAINT

What are you trying to do? Put Greengrocer out of business?

Am I doing it wrong?

Yup. On live, the change happened about 4 months into Velious.

There's no benefit now, but if you're hording fish rolls for when this eventually changes, then groovy.

This IS a pretty crazy thread!! But we are back to the thing "is this classic". Who in the hell knows, or remembers, or cares??? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
