Hotdog

Hotdog is a Gourmet Food item that can be eaten by the player or given to NPCs for a happiness boost. It is primarily useful as a long-duration food buff, making it a strong option for sustained exploration, combat, or any situation where extra survivability matters.

When consumed by the player, Hotdog grants its effects for 16 minutes. During that time it gives +50 Max Health and +1 Health Regen, which together provide a notable increase in durability and recovery. The health bonus raises the player’s total buffer, while the regeneration helps offset chip damage over time. Because the buff lasts a long time compared with many other consumables, it is convenient to use before extended trips, dungeon runs, or other activities where stopping to reapply buffs is undesirable.

Hotdog can also be fed to NPCs. When consumed by an NPC, it provides +35% Happiness, making it a valuable food item for improving NPC satisfaction. This makes it useful for towns and settlements where maintaining high happiness is important. If you have excess Hotdogs, they are often better spent on NPCs than left unused, since the happiness gain is substantial.

A few practical notes:

• The item has a spoilage time of 2 hours, so it is not a permanent stockpile food and should be used before it expires.
• Its long buff duration makes it especially efficient for pre-buffing before difficult content.
• The NPC happiness effect makes it doubly useful in settlement management, not just as a personal food source.

Overall, Hotdog is a versatile consumable that serves both adventuring and town management. Its combination of maximum health, regeneration, and NPC happiness makes it one of the more broadly useful Gourmet Food items when available.
