Methods of Manual Eating

Reactive Eating

This method involves eating at the most efficient time in relation to both the player's and opponent's attack cycles. This method is only viable when the player's Attack Interval is lower than that of the opponent.

To perform this method:

  1. Wait for the opponent to perform an attack.
  2. Wait for your character to perform an attack (only if this attack occurs before the opponent attacks once more).
  3. Eat as soon as possible after your character's next attack is performed.
  4. Repeat this process from the first step, as many times as needed.

Spam Eating

The spam eating method involves eating as much as possible in the shortest period of time to rapidly restore a large amount of hitpoints. Eating in this way will interrupt the player's attacks and generally only works when the player has a much lower Attack Interval than the that of the opponent.

Spam eating can be achieved by either:

  • Repeatedly clicking (on PC) or tapping (on mobile) the eat button rapidly, or;
  • Holding the Spacebar or Enter keys on a PC. This can be set up in the following way:
    1. Double click the word "Food" on the combat page (no visual indicator will appear once this is done).
    2. Press the Tab key once.
    3. Hold down either the Spacebar or Enter keys to repeatedly eat. This consumes food much faster than repeated clicking.
