Food Duration

[Fobbon]

Has anyone else noticed that food seems to be depleting faster than it had previously? Even when force feeding myself iron rations (hearty meals), I don't retain the "you couldn't possibly eat anymore, you would explode!" message nearly as long as I used to. Is food (and drink) bugged or am I imagining things?

I ate half a stack of paladin pickles in less than an hour on my human

No such thing in classic, iron rations will last as long as muffins.

really? i remember buying muffins and milk because they were super cheap but you burned thru stacks of it. i thought that was during kunark but i guess i'm wrong @@

[Fobbon]

I'm pretty sure they added the tiered food durations during kunark, though it could have been velious. My point is that I feel like I'm burning through food and drink like they're snacks, not meals.

Food does seem to be going faster than it was a few months ago when I played Blue99. As a cleric there, I would summon 5 food and 5 water and it would be enough for that EQ session. Now, on beta, I'm having to summon 10 of each to be good for each session.

Late Velious:

APRIL 17, 2001
Food Changes:

Food items now have a 'duration'. This means that some food items will not sustain a character as long as others, and some items will sustain your character longer than they did before.

[Fobbon]

So if food duration doesn't change until late velious, why does it seem wonky now?

[fuark]

I was actually thinking that this was wonky too recently. For some reason it seems like the food duration is way shorter than it used to be. Thought I was crazy, but interesting to hear someone else was experiencing the same thing.

it took 6 loaves of bread to fill up my paladin with food in his bags automatically eating.
