What is the relevance of Essence , Substance and Vitality?


I have 3 Wild Windsown weed's one of them has 10/10/10 the other is 16/10/16 and the last is 10/10/16 ...

How does this effect the item or what its used for?

I have learned two things so far:
All three influence the LP you gain from a curiosity, I think we still haven't worked our the formula
In food, I believe essence doesn't do anything (might be wrong) substance influence how much hunger is satiated from the general satiation bar (the lower the better) and vitality influences the FEP gained from the food

Okay... so i want high substance and low vitality got it

would be nice to know about the essence .. i mean it cant do nothing else why would it be in there, but ill keep my eyes peeled to see what happens as i play.

Thank you for the info..

Essence is satiation reduction, Substance is hunger reduction, Vit FEP bonus.

No no, my post was a little confusing, the higher all the values the better as a rule of thumb

Really? I thought you would want low substance for food so that it doesn't fill you up, or does it decrease how much it fills the hunger bar?

The higher the Q number, the better the bonus. You get built in hunger reduction now from the food itself with a higher Q, not just from eating at a table with a good setting. Those even combine to reduce hunger even more.

Most lowbie table gear was swapped from hunger reduction to satiation reduction in a recent patch.

Good. Satiation is a bigger pain later than hunger penalties, anyway.

Certainly not at lowbie levels unless you go near the dreaded bolete.

What's causing that issue for you? I've only gotten mine below 90% very rarely.
