Guidelines

This page is for recording precise durations of single pairs of ingredients, mainly so that they can be used to determine coordinates. Less precise information, especially recipes with useful stats, can be listed on the Recipes/Bastet page.

Potency of additive affects duration, and these can change over time. We should recheck potency for each batch of tests using that additive.

Method

To determine accurate distances between ingredients, it would be nice to measure durations to within a second. Sufficiently high Gastronomy skill (14+) allows evaluating exact durations, but otherwise they can only be estimated. A procedure for estimating:

Have both the game clock and a real clock (with seconds) visible, if possible close to your ATITD stats panel.

Cook up the meal, and eat just after the game clock ticks over to a new minute. Note that start time in game minutes (call it M1). Watch until your stats return to normal, and note the real-time seconds (S1) when the meal wore off. Wait for the next game minute to tick over (M2) and once again look at the real-time seconds (S2). If the game hour changes, add 60 minutes to M2. If the real-time minute changes, add 60 to S2.

Duration = (M2-M1)x20 - (S2-S1).

For example, I eat a meal at 3:24pm game time. When the stats wear off, I see the real time clock showing 36 seconds. Then I watch for the game minute to tick over, in this case from 3:37 to 3:38. That happens at 43 seconds on the real clock. So then

Duration = (38-24)x20 - (43-36) = 273 seconds.
