Huh. So if you aren’t leveling up it wouldn’t generate any charges??

So I went back to look at the artifact description / hint. IMHO that statement is too vague to make it clear what the mechanism is tied to:

“…seems to fill up with food as you adventure and gain experience”

…I read this as a generic statement, something like “as you keep adventuring in the dungeon”.

My misunderstanding lead me to make a particularly terrible choice: using my bonus food source to support a trip back up 3~4 levels with new potion of levitation to get the other 2-of-4 gold chests suspended in a chasm room. And starved – but without understanding why.

@00_Evan@lemmy.world may I suggest a more strongly-worded description, something more like:

it fills with food only as you gain experience

free hits if paired with haste

What? I thought that haste (potion, ring) was only effective when there are no “nearby” enemies
