Decadence Question

It says eating too much and throwing away meals raises it.  It also says decreases the chance of throwing up when overeating-The question I have is what are the effects of throwing up?

I have a bit of decadence from wine drinking, but I may look at my budget and try to begin raising it more with meals, but am curious about the effects of overeating and the skill gain of throwing meals out.

Its currently the only way to gain speed.  (Except for recently added mushrooms if you found any)

When you over-eat and throw up you gain .01 speed, .01 decadence, and lose 3 mood.  The normal effects of the meal are lost.  You can keep over-eating until you actually are able to eat the meal.

When you over-eat and eat the meal, you gained the normal effects of the meal, as well as .02 decadence (might be multiplied by complexity of meal).  You also gain mood as normal.

Can confirm - throwing up gives ingredients * 0,01 (90% sure affected by the skill curve)

To not start another topic, I just add one more question about Decadence here.

It's said in Help files:
"Having a high Decadence might have some disadvantages!"

What are these disadvantages?

none yet.  Cowardice didn't have negatives for a long time, and now it does have some major drawbacks.

How strong impact could these disadvantages have in future? Won't it be totally game-changing for those who already have high Decadence?

Thank you for detailed answer!

Like cowardice, is there any way to get rid of decadence?

Wait does that mean there is a way to lower Cowardice permanently now?  Besides using grail tokens anyway.

The effects have been answered by others, but I will add ratio for throwing up vs manage to eat the extra meal and become Plump (instead of Fed).

I ate 100  simple meals during the course of a few months when I had the status Fed. I managed to get .68 more speed and 1.00 decadence. I got 0.01 speed and 0.01 decadence every time I threw up, and 0.02 other skill and 0.02 decadence when I managed to eat the meal (status then changed from Fat to Plump. )

Total meals and skill gain:

68 meals: threw up, got speed and decandence
16 meals: ate it, and got 0.02 other skill (constitution mostly) and 0.02 decandence.

68 * 0.01 decadence + 16*0.02 decadence = 1.00 decandence.

Total meals to get 1 decadence skill: 68+16 = 84 meals.
Total meals to get 1 speed skill: 1/0.68 = 147 meals

I also got .32 constitution skill on the way.

You only get Decadence in exchange for something, it's the price you pay.

Cowardice is listed as a daily skill and not a personal skill.  I'm under the impression it cannot be lowered from not eating.  Which is fine cause it wouldn't make sense.  What I'm asking is if there is a way we can lower Cowardice permanently without grail tokens.  You seemed to imply that earlier.  And of course I'm also asking what that way is ^^

As for decadence, Ive always remembered that every day you don't eat you'll lose skill on your decadence skill & one random personal skill.  I could be wrong

Ah alright, thanks ^^

So... With the upcoming decadence update, adding a mood loss disadvantage to the "skill", I'm wondering if there are any plans to fully implement mushrooms in the near future? Currently, overeating is the main way for us to raise our speed skill, but since the decadence we gain along with it is changing from something irrelevant into something disadvantageous, it would be great if we could soon finally star raising our speed the normal way.

Thanks.

Is there a way to lower decadence if you do not have over 25%?

Seems needed

nice, that would work great. thanks!

Is this quest to lower decadence in the game yet? Or is there any other way to lower decadence yet?
