We didn't get fat at all, in fact we got skinny o.0 It's because we ate alot of berries, which cause you to lose weight. So instead of my character becoming a blimp he became a toothpick XD

Well it is known now we can only eat one thing apples or berries and we must start under 50% stam. so im ready for this saturdays event. let us know to collet 20 appels or berries.

Thanks to all those who showed up and tried it out. I want to apologize for being late (family dinners argh...) and that it didn't quite work out as I thought it would. Also, many sorries to those who's gotten fat from it... I hope you were able to get back in shape!

After doing some more careful reading and researches, I found out a little more about the "updated" information regarding food in Mabinogi.

1. When you have 100% hunger, permenant effects do not take place. Instead, you will only get fat.
2. When you share food, the permenant effects do not change! However, the amount of hunger you increase and the temporary status increase from hand-made food will only give you half of what they usually give.
3. Important! On Saturdays, although you fill up your hunger at a 200% rate, the permenant effects stay the same!! You don't get 2x.
4. The older you are, the more food you'll need to eat to increase your stats.
5. *Not confirmed* It seems like there had been a few patches recently that had made it so that food that's shared by others do not increase your stats at all. Moreover, the number of berries / apples needed to be eaten to incease stats had at least doubled. I'm not sure what the situation in the NA version is, but most likely the same.

So to summarize, apple sharing was abused in the past and Devcat had made patches to prevent people from gaining hax stats from it. I guess we can call this a "Dieting Event" from now on instead, and will have to move it to another "real" day. I won't be around for the next few weeks due to a business trip, so if anyone would like to take over this event I would greatly appreciate it.

I think there are a couple other things we didn't take into account, based on the premise that stat gain is most effective under 75%.

The amount you eat of a particular food lowers it's effectiveness in filling you up. I don't know how low this can go. I'm on an only berries diet and they currently only heal 9% hunger (I've also finally got some stat rise out of them).
Meditation at least doubles the effect of time on hunger decline. It seems like it's more than double.

So if the lower boundary for a foods ability to heal hunger is 1% each (it's probably more I'm just using 1% as an ideal). That would mean you could eat 25 foods from 50-75% hunger. Add in the damage to hunger from meditation and you can eat 28.

This would make sense in how sharing events on other servers may have worked. Everyone eats only one type of food. They all use meditation. After 30 foods they wait for their hunger to go back to 50% and do it again.

I don't know that this is how it works, it just makes a bit more sense to me than violently scarfing down everything and getting stats.

Well whenever the new date is I'll probably go just to hang out.

guess this aint happening this week, im standing there alone~

well with all of us original members at least 14 years old since the start of OB, the stat increases are slowing down and the campfire sharing benefits are kinda null now that we have to wait for hunger to get down low enough so we dont go over 100%. Also as said above mebbe camp fire sharing gives no perm stat change...

I used to gain 3-4 dex a day from anorexic idling, berry chomping chain. Now i gain 1-2 dex from the same method, either a patch did indeed double the requirements for perm increase, and/or with age more food is needed to increase stats.
