Nutrition

Nutrition is a measure of how healthy you are; or how much nutrition is in your body. Not to be mistaken for health or food. Your current nutrition level can be seen by hovering over the thirst/hunger bar. It is also reflected by the color of the hunger bar.

Note: this change was added on 8th May 2009 and there is still a lot to learn about this feature. Please help by contributing any findings.

Effects

Your nutrition level affects how soon you will become hungry (the speed at which your food bar drops). High nutrition will give you a maximum skill gain bonus of 5%, while low nutrition gives you a maximum skill gain penalty of 5%. Nutrition between 40 and 60 will not give any bonus or penalty. Nutrition also has a currently unknown effect on wound healing time.

Nutritive food

Any food has a nutrient value, eating it will make your body's nutrition level go towards the food's nutrient value. Raw vegetables, cheese, and raw meat have the lowest nutrient values.

For the best nutrition, eat the dish while it's still hot. Cold dishes will nourish you less, although you can re-heat them later. Note that your action timer will be different, saying eating hot meal instead of eating meal, for example.

• Raw meat may nourish you to about 11%.
• Cooked meat may nourish you to about 17%.
• Fish of low quality may nourish you up to 32%.
• Stew may nourish you to about 12-20%.
• Gulasch and casseroles may nourish you to about 40-70%.
• Meals may nourish you from 60% to 100%. Eating hot meals provides approximately 8% better nutrition. As a benchmark, a 50ql meal will provide 80% when hot or 72% nutrition cold.
