Well, I bought some Parwin Nutricake and it only works with the Burst Run timer, like if I use it it resets the Burst run timer and if I burst run, even if after I eat a Nutricake it wont do shizzle.

So, am I bugged or should I find it stupid that while the Burst Run timer Is reloading you are ABLE to eat the food without doing crap. Shouldn't It check for the Burst Run timer?

I'm not entirely sure I follow your post, but this is how parwan works:

Eat one, burst run instantly.

When you receive the "you're tired" message, eat another one. Burst run instantly again.

Rinse, and repeat until your stomach is full. When you can eat no more, hit your regular burst run button, and burst run again.

The time I tried it after having used the regular /burst command, it allowed me to eat the parwan, but because the timer hadn't reset yet, all it did was fill my stomach and make a use disappear. This is why your first course of action needs to be the consumption of the parwan. From the sound of it, you had it bass ackwards.

Yeah I had problems with nutricake yesterday. I hit burst run once (no cake) and ran past some mobs. Sat and waited for the timer to reset. Timer resests .. then I realize I have nutricake in my backpack. Hot key it. Use it. The burst run icon starts flashing .. but I don't move any faster. I wait and try it all over again. Same thing .. icon is flashing but I'm not burst running at all.

Chef Vomit posted this to another question about Parwan. So here it is again.

Parwan reduces both the HAM costs and "tired time" of a burst run. It also triggers the burstrun itself. It is useful for exactly ONE burstrun. After that, its gone.

Your burstrun timer is 60 seconds, and your "tired time" timer is 10 minutes. Anytime you burstrun, both of these timers activate immediately upon a burstrun. So lets say you take a 90%/60% parwan. You will start burstrunning immediately. The parwan has reduced your tired time by 90%, so instead of lasting TEN minutes, it only lasts ONE minute. That means that as soon as your 60 second nurstrun is done, you are no longer tired.

At this point you have a choice. You can take ANOTHER parwan, and you will do the whole thing again...OR....you can hit your burstrun button. If you just hit your burstrun button, remember that this will be your LAST burstrun for ten minutes. There is no way to reduce tired time once you have hit the burstrun button. However if you simply take another hit of parwan, you will start all over again and finish your second burstrun with no tiredness. You can keep hitting your parwan until you cant take it any longer due to having a full stomach...and once THAT happens, you can go ahead and hit your burstrun button for a final burstrun.

So essentially, you can burstrun 5 or 6 times in a row. So burstrun for 5 or 6 minutes. Not too shabby.

NOW....some Chefs only take their parwan to 90%, while others go higher. If you do the math, you realize that under PERFECT circumstances, there is no reason to have anything over 90%. You dont need it.

But that is only under perfect circumstances

Smart PvPers will always want 95-100% parwan. The reason is simple : a KD or a few other states will kill a burstrun. With 90% Parwan, they wouild have to wait until the full minute was up before they could tag the parwan again. A minute in PvP is a lifetime that could mean death. PvPers dont use parwan to burstrun for 5 minutes at a time, they use it to escape or prolong battle. IT needs to be there when they need it, and their opponent will do everything in their power to kill it.

THAT is why 100% parwan is desireable to a portion of the community. 90% is good, and will get the job done....but 100% is what is preferable to PvPers. Personally I stocked both. Best thing you can do is talk to your clients and see what they would like.

I hope this helps And hello to the Chef boards.

Which bio-e tissue should be used to make the most efficient additive for parwan?

I have used the light flavour addi and still got 91% timer reduction so this might be an option to cut costs on the non-pvp stuff
