Gluttony

Gluttony is the process by which a pioneer in the new world raises their maximum humour value. To raise a humour during Gluttony, a pioneer must eat Food to gain influence equal to his or her highest humour value to raise one of the four values one point.

Activating Gluttony Mode

1. Current Humour values must be full.
2. Clicking on the full humours diamond enters gluttony, changing the mouse pointer to a fork.

Consuming Food in Gluttony Mode

Once a food is consumed during gluttony, a random event happens to determine the amount of influence gained on the gluttony diamond. If this value is in excess of the highest maximum humour value a pioneer has, then he or she will immediately gain one point in whichever humour has exceeded the value. The influence diamond will then reset to none. Any excess influence does not carry over.

If the event did not cause influence to exceed the maximum value, the influence diamond will immediately start to decrease after consuming the food. More food must be eaten to continue to gain influence in the diamond.

If eating a food causes two humours to exceed the highest value, the humour that has a lower maximum value will be increased

Gluttony Events

On every food item is listed the values of the random chance an event will occur. These are divided into four categories which are also represented as colors below the chance percentages. These are listed as:

• Salt - Red
• Mercury - Green
• Sulphur – Blue
• Lead - Yellow

Four lines of colored text are listed that show which influences are gained during the event. These numbers represent how much influence is gained on the diamond when the item is consumed. The numbers are shown in order of Blood, Phlegm, Yellow Bile, Black Bile.

The number shown in the diamond upon consuming a food item shows which event occurred. 1. Salt 2. Mercury 3. Sulphur 4. Lead

Example

The Roasted Chestnut shown in the picture will have the following effect. A pioneer has a current value of 5.0 in all four humours and consumes the Roasted Chestnut. Percent chance which event will occur: Salt 32.6, Mercury 2.6, Sulphur 40.0, Lead 24.8 A sulphur event occurs, adding 10.7 influence to Blood and 4.3 influence to Black Bile. Since 10.7 exceed the highest humour value (5.0), then blood is immediately raised to 6.0.

Recommended Gluttony Food

Here are some good foods to use in Gluttony mode to get you a good start at raising your humours.

• Blood - Virtually any prepared meats, Roasted Chestnuts, Autumn Delight, Lavender Blewit
• Phlegm - Sizzled Slugs, Milkweed Roots
• Yellow Bile - Mushrooms-on-a-Stick, Autumn Delight, Lavender Blewit
• Black Bile - Mushrooms-on-a-Stick, Witch's Hat

Tips

• Plan ahead before entering Gluttony Mode
• Use foods which will have a high chance of gaining the humour desired.
• Raise all four humours at a steady rate to make it easier. Raising Blood to 12.0 before raising any other humours means raising the ones at 5.0 requires getting 12 points of influence to raise.
• Eating different foods during gluttony mode will slow down the drain in influence between eating items.
• There are many food items which build up Blood bile.You can use Devil's Wort for reducing Blood influence and use more variety of food in diet.
