Candy Eating Badges?

Are these seasonal as well making them impossible to do after Zilloween is over?  I'm only asking because there seems to be a limit to how many candies you can eat in a day.  It seems to be a pretty low limit as well (10 maybe).  If you try to eat any more the option is grayed out saying you don't want to risk another toothache. 

Is there another way around this limit because the top badge of 353 doesn't seem like it's reachable before the end of Zilloween?

  • found this in the thread - Zilloween? In the month of Candy/Fever?

    "... they won't disappear but the candies (being holiday candies) won't give you the same kind of holiday sugar-rush until the next  - REAL - Zilloween holiday. And so won't count toward achievements either…

    But the next Zilloween is never that far away!…" posted by staff member annapeee

  • Well it all depends when Zilloween is officially over; If the event lasts a week - then it's doable. Log in every glitch day - i.e. every four hours (or every 7 or so hours so you can straddle the changing days - log in 11pm and wait for the new day.)

    But I do think it is a very rigid achievement - if I've put the time and effort into making the sweets, then eating them after the event imo should still count. (I don't care about the buffs being taken away.) Additionally TS need to be more transparent and less secretive in such matters - it just p*sses people off - enough of the standard guide/staff response "we can't help you with game mechanic questions" etc etc -.-

    Also it would be very handy to know when the next Zilloween event will be (the statement above leads me to think that it would be more than just once a year...) - an official events calendar should be put up (ala WoW).

  • @Makona You can look at the calendar to see when the next Zilloween is. When you enter the world, there's a calendar by your picture in the upper right hand corner of the screen, OR here: www.glitch-strategy.com/wik...

  • Thanks for the link to the calendar :) - I knew it was there - what I mean is a Calendar equivalent to human days XD (trying to figure out when the next one is in human days is time consuming -.- )..come to think of it..is there a script for this? Just searched but couldn't find anything.

  • Okay, the cap for toothaches is 10 candies.  If you eat 10 candies or more in one day, you won't be able to eat any more for the rest of the game day.  However, if you make sure you can replenish the energy that a stack (20) of candies can give you; you can eat 20 before the toothache cap sets in.

    I haven't found any way to eat more than one stack in a game day however.

  • I'm hoping that it's still up when I get back

  • @Warrender, can you explain what you mean about being able to make sure you can replenish the energy that a stack of candies can give you?

    I've tried eating an entire stack at one time and I get the toothache cap. I've tried eating them one by one and I get the cap. What's the trick?

  • Have a stack of 20 candies and select all to eat them. If your energy is low enough, you will eat the whole stack then the toothache cap will set in and you won't be able to eat any more that day. 

    If your energy is not low enough, you will only eat as many candies as it takes to max out your energy.  If this results in you eating 10 candies or more, the toothache cap sets in and you won't be able to eat any more that day.

  • Thanks, Warrender, I'm going to try that right now!

  • Aw, it didn't work! I got my energy down to 310 (out of 1310), clicked on the stack of 20 and selected "eat," then clicked "all 20," and it still only let me eat eleven of them. Where the stack of 20 was it now says 9 in the corner and instead of getting 260 energy from it I got 143. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Am I being a complete idiot? Usually I'm only a partial idiot. Hmph.

  • You can only eat 11 candy per game day--it's a hard-coded limit. Wait until the next day to eat more.

  • Hmmm, could've sworn I ate a whole stack when I tested it.  Will test it again when the new day comes in about an hour.

  • (For those wondering about when next Zilloween falls, by the Glitch/Human calendar - it's before the end of november. And it won't just be for the four earth hours a Glitch day runs, no. So plenty of time, plenty of time… Slowly slowly catchee achievementee…)

  • Yep, plenty more Zilloweens.

  • Hahaha, do you guys think I need to spend more time with the focusing orb? Maybe I should think about getting a new mantra for when I'm trying to meditate. "Hurry, dammit, hurry, dammit, go go GO," doesn't seem to be working for some reason. Bah.

  • Tried it again and Shepherdmoon is correct.  No matter how low my energy, 11 candies is the most you can eat in a day.

    So slow is a go.

  • Wait, will our candies disappear after the event is over? Can't we keep trading/eating them throughout the year, given they are the correct candies?

  • I think all items created from a pumpkin including the candies will still exist, but the ability to grow pumpkins will cease to exist until the next Zilloween. I believe the achievement part is the same as the latter but I hope not since I finally made enough candy for both the eating sets of achievement and the giving set. The 11 candies a day is a bit rough also.
