Information about birch bark tea
Has anyone figured out how much condition do you restore per unit?
Cause at the start I tought it was a fantastic new tool for interoloper, but doesn't seem that the condition restored is that much...

No. Its not so useful as we hoped. Just one another consumption item.

I think it is 5% condition restored. Not as much as a stim, but it is renewable, while the number of stims in your game is static... no respawn on stims.

I use birch bark + restorative tea. Even on my low regen custom Loper works surprisingly well.

Nice. I don't play Loper often, not at all since the update. So, Herbal Tea + Birch Bark Tea has "stacking" benefits? Immediate condition restored from the Birch and increased condition restored from the Herbal Tea while you sleep? That makes me want to give vanilla Loper a few goes again. Maybe, lol.

What I really want to know, is if this tea SCALES with the regen setting or not.
I.e. if I have disabled natural regeneration of health, with the tea still regenerate something?

Yeah that should be great to restore some damn condition during the sleep time. I was hoping in something better anyway for the birch bark cause you know in loper the loss of condition during the day is huge cause is so damn cold and restoring a little bit would have been nice.

Birch bark tea doesn't restore immediately, but within 2 hours =) It has timer on the Status page of your character. :P

Has anyone tried it with regeneration set to 0?

I just tried birch tea for the first time on Dead Man Challenge , and gained 4%. I checked, I was at 84%, drank the tea, slept for an hour while I boiled water, and then after making a couple more teas, walked out of the cave I was in. Then I check condition in journal, say an hour and a half after consuming tea, I was at 88%. Maybe I'll reach 89 after a full 2 hours?
I also had drunk some herbal tea about 2 hours before drinking the birch, so improved resting was active, but on DMC there should be no effect from sleeping + herbal.
So the birch is like a stim, I guess.

Ah, good. I've only used it before sleeping, and not playing Loper, I pretty much can always sleep for 4-10 hours. Never looked to see the timer. I'll have to test to see what happens with Herbal added as well, if I get full HP back with less sleep. using both.

Does Birch Bark tea also help you fight illnesses or does it just restore condition?

are you really the owner of the holy grail?
Shhhhh... Zoot does not like me letting people know that Trapper's is a plywood cover for Castle Anthrax, and the light that shines through the windows at night is THG, which we have never been able to completely hide. :O

And Birch Bark Tea only helps if it is just a flesh wound. ;)
