Nutrition
Contents
Description
Nutrition is a measure of how well fed you are, or how much nutrition is in your body; not to be mistaken for health or food level. Your current nutrition level can be seen by hovering mouse over the thirst/hunger bar. It is also reflected by the color of the hunger bar: darker green is better.
Effects
- Your nutrition level affects how soon you will become hungry, or 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.
- At 60% nutrition you receive a 1% bonus to skill gain. You receive a 1% bonus with every 10% increase in nutrition after that with a total of 5% skill gain at the maximum nutrition of 99%.
- Nutrition also has a currently unknown effect on wound healing time.
Nutritive food
Any food has a nutrient value. Eating food 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 is 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%.
- Heart from a lava fiend may nourish you to 30-31%.
- 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 and sandwiches 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.
- It is reported to take a hot meal of 96-97q to reach 97% nutrition and close to 99q to reach 99% nutrition.
- Sacrifice a rare item of full weight at an altar to gain an easy 99% nutrition.
Note: This change was added on 8th May 2009. Still needing information on porridge, soup and bread nutrient values and decay rate.
- This may need further confirmation, but Cooked meat may have higher nutrition value, than listed here. (Slowly rose my nutrition level from 26 to 32%, may not be limit, food was not hot; 2nd September 2012)
