Assorted Food Questions

[Kaol]

I have a few questions about food:

What does the purity modifier do?

Which foods can be "purified" eg made to be 100% or close of one purity?

How does fishing work? - Say i want to find a particular type of fish, will that fish be available in a consistant spot or am i likely to get other fish too?

[Ornery]

-The higher the purity, the higher the multiplier of the food's base values you will get when eating it (base values at p0, 10x at p10)

-Any food that uses potables or farmed goods can be raised in purity, but only a few can be raised to even close to 100% without a ton of time and effort going into the individual materials being raised in purity. Foods using mostly farmed goods can be raised higher and faster than foods using forage-only mats or meat.

-Sorry, I hate fishing so I can't help with that.

Does that multiplier apply to glutton values or just to eating?

[Ornery]

Both. The actual event you get will be determined by the alchemical make-up of it, but the event's values will be multiplied by the purity multiplier.

[Kaol]

Wouldn't that mean the farmed foods could reach numbers in the hundreds? Or am i reading it wrong?

[Ornery]

If you mean the values to be given when eating them could reach the 100s, yep. Some foods can give well over 100 points in a humour when eating or gluttoning it.

[Kaol]

Oh ok, i didn't realise such a high amount of humours was possible. It kind of makes anything not farmable pointless.

[Procne]

Not entirely. First, at the low levels you usually don't have high purity farmed food available. Also, with low humours, low purity foraged can still be good. And even at high numbers it's good to have some different types of food for variety
