Item:Maggoty Meat
Item Information
When you start, you are given 1 of these in your inventory. These are the weakest type of food available to players but still can make a difference in whether a player can keep fighting or must withdraw to heal up -- especially at lower ranks.
Unlike Free People, monster players do not regenerate morale in combat. Often fights with Free People can keep a monster player in combat for extended time windows measured in minutes simply due to frequent "small" damage hits. This can and will keep your morale dropping steadily. With foods, you can gain some moral as you fight which helps a keep you from having to withdraw from a siege to heal up.
As you rank up, there are superior foods available both from the Tarkripper Quartermaster, for coins, and from Shakh, the Food Trader in Gramsfoot. Some of the higher rank foods can make a fairly large difference in your ability to carry a fight forward versus running back from a rally point.
