Inspiration
About
Inspiration is the pool of points you use to learn new skills and proficiencies. A new character begins with 207,000 inspiration that renews at a rate of only 0.71/second.
The rate and cap can be increased by learning certain Skills and by increasing Black Bile.
Successfully using a Hookah in The Den or at an event will grant a variable inspiration restore.
Education Skills
Education Skills increase your passive rate of Inspiration regeneration each second. This rate stacks so learning all three Skills will increase your Inspiration regeneration rate by .7 per second.
Skill | Rate Increase |
Literacy | 0.1 per second |
A Formal Education | 0.2 per second |
Aristotelian Logic | 0.4 per second |
Refresher Potions
Right-clicking a Refresher Potions selecting "Gulp" will consume one of its uses and instantly restores a certain amount Inspiration points. This ammount is determined by the potion and the drinker's Natural Philosophy. Each Gulp adds 10 to your Quaffed & Quenched debuff.
Potion | Uses | Inspiration per Gulp |
Butterbug Refresher | 3 | 2,000 |
Fishguts & Rot Refresher | 3 | 20,000 |
Rubbery Mescaline Refresher | 3 | 50,000 |
Snake Oil | 3 | 1 |
Sweet'n'Thorny Refresher | 3 | 250,000 |
Tenderfoot Refresher | 10 | 10,000 |
Beds
Inspiration you can gain while offline is capped, however, this cap can be increased by choosing to Sleep in a Bed while offline. Right-clicking an empty Bed and selecting "Sleep" will cause you to Sleep in that Bed, instantly logging you off rather than waiting through the 20 second logout channel. Sleeping a full 8 hours with a Teddybear equipped to the left hand slot will instead reduce your Madness by 1x level. Destroying an occupied Bed will not harm or summon the Sleeping pilgrim. You cannot Sleep in a Bed while under the affects of a Concussion.
Bed | Cap Increased To |
Leafy Bed | 100,000 |
Simple Bed | 250,000 |
Grand Bed | 500,000 |
Sleep Bonus
Wearing Pajamas increases the speed at which you regenerate Inspiration while Sleeping in a Bed. The total Sleep Bonus equipped is roughly equal to Inspiration restored per second, therefore wearing .40 Sleep Bonus means you are generating approximately .40 Inspiration per a second more than if you were not wearing any Pajamas.
