Picky eater

The Picky eater perk is available on the Local market tab under Upgrade dealership, in the Combat category. Purchasing this upgrade costs 10,000,000 gold and requires you to have level 90 Cooking. As of the latest update adding clan bosses, the Picky eater upgrade is automatically applied to all combat participants within the clan boss combat party regardless of if they have Picky eater unlocked or not.

In normal combat Picky eater has more control through the use of eat threshold %. A lower setting can allow you to make use of healing through the use of completionist capes, lifesteal wand or hitpoint cape's lifesteal effect. However setting the threshold too low will mean your larger foods get consumed first, as you're missing a large value of HP before picky eater is allowed to use healing. Because of this, relying on lifesteal is counter productive to how picky eater functions and instead normal autoeating should be used with a lower value, expendable food. Picky eater is more valuable as a tool when you have a wide variety of foods but want to prevent death (kronos, chimera) by making use of a variety of foods to keep your HP topped up while not wasting big healing items for small damage values taken.

In clan bosses there is no manual setting for eat threshold %. It is defaulted to 100%.

Picky eater will attempt to use foods that heal close to the damage you take. This can be above or below the value if a matching type is not found. This behavior only holds true and works reliably so long as a wide variety of food values is available. The fewer food values you have, the worse picky eater gets for over-eating and wasting food. Here's an example: If your lowest value food while fighting otherworldly golem is tuna (17hp) then any damage value taken from 1 to 17 will cause you to eat a tuna. If you had piranha (2hp), then damage values of 1-2 eat a piranha, 3-17 eat a tuna.

Picky eater doesn't properly make use of boosted values in Chef's hat. Example: If 9 damage is taken, picky eater will consume a carp (12hp chef's hat) instead of a giant meat (10hp chef's hat). This is because the unboosted values are 10hp (carp) and 8hp (giant meat), so giant meat wouldn't normally be enough to heal for 9hp.
