Game Mechanics: Food size duration is not respected.

[Xiderpunk2]

I recall food durations from EQ pre-kunark did work. Iron Rations was a thing, I distinctly remember lower guk camping with several stacks of water and 1 of Iron Rations. Regardless of the patch notes, they are wrong. Food durations were working from Beta 3.

Sad to see that durations are not working in P99, which is a departure from how it was. Baking skill is therefore completely and totally useless.

Doesn't appear that food/drink durations are working correctly. Enduring meal/drinks from the Chardok vendor last the same amount of time as Muffins & Milk.

This is halfway complete. Needs to be resurrected and touched up before implementing.

I have the differing values (durations) per era working.


Does anyone have more research on the following:

• A definitive time of how often a character should eat or drink?
• Large races eating more than smaller races?
• Drinking more in desert zones?
• Anything else about food/drink that is relevant?

I had dug up some evidence about desert zone consumption, seemed to be a 2:1 ratio in the Ro deserts + Oasis + Lavastorm (for consuming drink). Should note there was some conflicting evidence and no logs posted of timing it.

I had never timed it myself on Live but i'm not sure if it still exists there.

Here's some of the in era comments I dredged up.

This post is out of era, but might be a decent starting point. I dont remember much being changed food wise...

Meh i'm tired... looks like he did get those drinks but must not get trade window messages or not logged, since he ran out 3 days later. I'll dig some more later. Found a later spot where he continuously ran low then ran out, I have to parse the total time he was in game though
