A question about opium

Post by Grobble »

I had 8 points of Punch-sore and I smoked 0.07 kg of opium. Afterwards I still had 1 Punch-sore but I also have a Dragon Bite.

I thought you only got dragon bite if opium use exceeded healing? Does Dragon Bite wear off eventually?

wounds are converted into dragon bite, which heals on its own, like leech burns.

Not really. While the opium smoking buff is active, there is a number in the corner which can be applied to certain wounds. It randomly applies them over time (say, the number goes from 5 to 3 and your concussion is reduced by 2). If your smoking buff runs out while there is still a nonzero number, then you get a dragon's bite for that number.

I tend to smoke just enough to fill the bar, then let it tick down to 20-30% and then smoke some more. I try to make sure the wound number stays low so that I will end up with only a minimal dragon's bite.

Dragon's bite wears off over time, but it is fairly slow. Try sleeping in a quality bed to speed it up some.
