I’ve been slowly increasing the number of challenges I play with, but I always get stumped on how to work around on diet. Does chalice of blood work even when starving/hungry? Does ring of haste effectively increase how much you are able to explore before going hungry? Is it more efficient to craft pies or not? Thanks!
No, chalice doesn’t work when starving. It augments the natural healing from being sated.
Yes, Ring of Haste and also Glyph of Swiftness cause you to be less hungry because it takes fewer turns to walk around.
Meat Pies are good if on low health and starving. You most likely won’t waste regeneration, as you are low health, and you get regeneration you don’t get elsewhere. It’s like eating those foods but you also get free health. Ofc, don’t take it on full health, you’ll waste it
One more thing to consider are “on eat” effects… In some situations I’d rather have 3x8 turns of recharging and a bit of alchemical energy in place of healing (as a mage)
