Darkness

[jayt1990]

Hello so just a few questions regarding darkness. What biomes are available in the darkness / resources such as lime and clay etc?

Also what is the drain like in practical terms what sort of biles would you need to have to live in the darkness?

everything you can find in light, you can find in darkness. and then some.
biles, i would suggest >100

Thanks for the response. I know there is gonna a reversal for witches, so in prov max bile drain. What would max bile drain be? Just considering whether it is worth ever doing witch craft tbh lol

[Ukhata]

the bile drain is dependend on your bile level plus how deep in darkness you are.
soo, being in 50 darkness (down from 62.5) the drain is with 100 biles about .1 per 5 seconds? this is a rough estamite.
while deeper or lower biles it can go up to 1 bile per 5 seconds.

Are you sure?
I've always known that the drain is based only on the darkness level.
I reached a level of 3.12 with a 30 biles alt and the drain was about 2 biles every 5 seconds.

[Ukhata]

well, i think i have noticed more drain with lower bile alts then high bile alts.

but i must admit i have not actively timed/measured it.

I would surely not recommend this guy to settle down in the darkness with ~>100biles as he is clueless about it. hes talking about 'living in the darkness", so im assuming it includes hunting, meaning you would go deeper than 50, and you cant only take the drain into consideration.

Drain in the darkness depends on biles and deepness.

In the same darkness area, as youre biles get higher you get stronger drain, im unsure but it could even be a fixed % of your biles which you are drained over time. Maybe the devs could share with us the formula of darkness drain. (Does not hold breath)

Also the deeper you go the stronger the drain.

PS: The darkness's dangers are WAY WAY WAY over rated, even in its current state.
