Bonfire and high CHA alts around it to help boost your gains. Other than that, better symbel items on your table, better table (or is it chair?) quality and type.

You just need 2 characters, one on a separate account with some charisma. That guy lights the bonfire and sits at the table with your good symbel (which you never "use" so it doesn't wear out). Then on a different table you eat with your main characters. You get 10% hunger easily, or 4-5% with some better symbel and charisma.

The type of table doesn't matter, but the chair does. Use a royal throne. Chair and table quality don't matter, as far as i know.

Chairs and tables have no quality. The chair type is the only one that matters. Metal throne is the best.
Feast alts are the key. Use them to knock hunger mod down to single digits, use symbel for fep bonus, keep hunger in 300% range, and use drinks to keep relevant satiations high.

i don't get it, you don't need to eat on better symbel? All bonuses are moved from it when alt sits there or what?

There's a formula that mixes the total charisma in a bonfire party with the charisma of the party starter and the food hunger bonus on active tables (open tables with hearthlings sitting next to them).

In practice it means that if you have 2 tables with around 20% hunger mod, and you start a bonfire party with a character with 500 charisma, and you both sit on a table, the hunger mod of the active party when you both sit down at the table will be below 5%.

Most end game factions probably have tables and bonfire setups that allow tables at 1% hunger mod, which in my opinion is what is causing the runaway stats. jorbplsfixthis

how far do you have to be for bonfire parties to work?

I am thinking of collaborating with a few new players by creating a dedicated charisma alt for starting bonfire parties.
would it be beneficial to create a large party despite distances?

you have to be around the same bonfire, a communal feasting area wouldn't be a bad idea though, something for CF to think about maybe.

One or two off limits tables (does feasting work if a table is wrapped in a fence?) that permenantly seat charisma alts with other tables accesible to the public to bring their own food to and gain the insane hunger mod of the feast.
Oh boy, here I go cheesemaking again...
