Any drinks out there that can last as long as MT Picnic?

[ZealPath]

That about says it, just wondering if any of the drinks out there will last as long as Misty Thicket Picnics. I like to buy food and drink in the same quanity at the same time but at the moment I'm trying Qeynos Afternoon Tea and it doesn't last quite as long as Misty Thicket Picnic which annoys me =0. The picnics and tea are both miraculous yet do not seem to last the same duration, so any suggestions would be appreciated.

Food and drinks last different times based on race/class/zone. You will NEVER find an exact match on these.

Ok, then maybe a better question is what is the longest lasting drink out there (or is Qeynos Afternoon Tea already that). I don't mind slight variations in consumption rate, just ideally something a little closer to the rate at which my MTPs are consumed.

I use Kaladim Constitutionals and they seem to last just as long as my MTPs. I believe the Qeynos Afternoon Teas have the same duration.

So far as we know, Miraculous=Miraculous.

Seeing as how they last 3hrs each, to test accurately you would have to stay online for 60 hours to see which stack goes faster.

Then you would have to repeat for every zone in the game, make a char with every race in the game, and try every class in the game.

Then you would need to repeat with every Miraculous Food/Drink in the game to see if they are identical.

I know water goes fast in the desert, at least twice as fast as usual... so if you even walked through one, your QAT would be used up fairly quickly.

Ah ok, that comment about zones seems to have solved it for me, also explains why the QAT was lasting as as long as my MTPs at first. Guess it's been too long since the days of hunting in Oasis for me to remember that certain zones increase drink consumption.

Ok saw this in there I had to check and see if anyone knew anything about a formula 500 drink that someone gave me the other day...they said it was brewed and needless to say I drank one out of the 5 of them in the time I would drink a whole bunch of water...so was wondering if anyone could tell me anything?

These are sold by a gnome named Ping in West Freeport. Zone in from the commons, face the gate, he's at the tent to the right.

So far as we know, Miraculous=Miraculous.

I haven't tested it and haven't really cared to, but I have my doubts that miraculous = miraculous (and enduring = enduring and so on).

Take a look at the "Drink Duration" field of Lucy's item database on Qeynos Afternoon Tea and Kaladim Constitutional for example. The constitutional has a numerical value of 120 and the tea 85.

Point

Good point Zalla, but where did they get those numbers from?

Lucy

Lucy is a packet sniffer, which means that it reads the packets of information that EQ sends from the server to your client workstation and then records it.

Therefore, the logical conclusion is that Lucy read the consumption rate number from within the packet of information that is sent. This means that it is very likely to be correct, presuming they are reading the right piece of information as the consumption rate.

Gotcha, thanks.

Zallarenya,

I was checking on some food and drink on that site you linked, it is very interesting.

All foods have a stat there:

Pixie Powder Cinnesticks: Snack(5)
Ration: Meal(15)
Iron Ration: Hearty Meal(25)
Fish Roll: Banquet Sized Meal(35)
Griffon Melt: Feast(50)
Halas 10lb: Miraculous Meal(80)
Misty Thicket Picnic: Miraculous Meal(120)

I kinda wonder how those numbers translate into minutes, but it is obvious that Lucy got those somewhere and they are direct corralations.

Best guess without further looking would be 2x that number for minutes to consume. So 4 hours for an MTP and 2 hours 40 minutes for a HMP.

Very interesting data, we need just a bit of research, and then you guys can add it to the site as minutes!
