Thread: A few questions regarding Smugglers Delight

It will reduce it 30-50 percent without an additive.
What determines whether it will be 30-50%? And is it possible to go higher?
be additives can increase the power, increase the uses, increase the duration (don't know if this applies..), or decrease the filling.
Hmm, guess i'm going to have to tell the Chef what I want then
without an additive or heavy experimentation in quantity, expect this to be 1 use
So that means 25 hits per crate?
Also, it already requires milk, adding a be additive to it is going to make it very expensive....
Ok BE additives are going to be expensive but mik shouldn't cost all THAT much anymore right with players being able to milk certain creatures?

So how exactly does this partcular food work? Is it once food for every spice hit consumed. Say you use Muon Gold and the downer is about to hit. You then take some Delight and when the downer comes, the length of the downer is reduced. Now, once the Delight is taken, does it reduce the downer for only the spice taken at the time or is it over a period of time for a few spice hits?
Also, have any of you guys experimented on reducing the downer time?
The Smuggler's Delight isa "triggered effect" food. You eat it, and the buff stays until the trigger (in this case a spice downer) or 60m (the max time a triggered effect will currently hang around). The Delight is a single-trigger food, so it'll only reduce the time of the next spice downer. You don't have to be under the effect of a spice when you eat the food, so you could theoretically eat one before heading out (giving it time to digest), get into combat 30m later, and pop a muon. 10m later the downer occurs, triggering the Delight's effect (removing its iconfrom your Buff UI) and reducing the downer time from 3m to 3m * (1 - %), where the % is the effectiveness shown when looking at the Delight's details. So if it showed 40 in the details, the downer should only last 180s * (1 - 0.40 ) =108s.
Of course, there have been reports of the downer reduction not working, there may be some other constraint we haven't discovered (maybe you do have to eat the food while under the effect of the spice, or during the downer), or the stupid thing could just be bugged.
The effectiveness of the Smuggler's delight is experiementable by putting points into the Nutrition category when it's cooked. From my testing, you can get the reduction between 31 and 49%.
