The term "tick" is a unit of time equal to how long 1 [[Branch]] burns in a [[Kiln]] or an [[Oven]]. One tick is 5 minutes and 33 seconds of real-life time, which makes it equal to 16 minutes and 39 seconds of in-game time.  
Ticks will attach themselves to your Hearthling in their Equipment slots as they traverse forest debris and suck their blood, decreasing [[Hitpoints|SHP]] slowly and dealing [[Tick'd Off]] wound. The amount of SHP drained depends on the quality of the Tick, with q10 Tick doing 1 SHP damage and q40 doing 3 damage. Each time a Tick drains your SHP, its quality will increase or decrease by 1 towards your [[Constitution]] (base, unaffected by equipment or wounds.)


A piece of [[Charcoal]] will only last 1 tick of length in a [[Smelter]], [[Alloying Crucible]] or [[Finery Forge]], but 2 ticks in an Oven, Kiln or [[Steel Crucible]].
Once a Tick becomes bloated it will no longer have any effect on you, but Bloated Ticks will return to normal after sitting in your inventory or a container for eight real hours.  


In other words, if a recipe for [[Apple Pie]] calls for three ticks of cooking time, then the Apple Pie Dough needs to remain in the oven for the time for three full Branches to burn totally out from start to finish. Thus, the dough should always go in before the oven or kiln is lit. If you are not able to control this precisely -- for example if someone has loaded your oven/kiln to 100% with fuel -- then you may need to watch your recipes directly until they are ready.

Ticks will attach themselves to your Hearthling in their Equipment slots as they traverse forest debris and suck their blood, decreasing SHP slowly and dealing Tick'd Off wound. The amount of SHP drained depends on the quality of the Tick, with q10 Tick doing 1 SHP damage and q40 doing 3 damage. Each time a Tick drains your SHP, its quality will increase or decrease by 1 towards your Constitution (base, unaffected by equipment or wounds.)

Once a Tick becomes bloated it will no longer have any effect on you, but Bloated Ticks will return to normal after sitting in your inventory or a container for eight real hours.


How to Acquire

Walk around or stand in a Thicket biome with empty equipment slots, and Ticks will soon attach themselves to you.

Warning

If your SHP goes down to 0 you will then become unconscious and will continue to lose HHP slowly until the ticks become bloated. Be careful not to let them drain all of your SHP, it is not likely, but your character could die if not given the chance to pick them off while conscious.

Also keep in mind that when mass-transferring ticks from your inventory to some container, the surplus ticks will be equipped on empty body slots when the container becomes full.

Notes

  • Ticks can be used as fishing bait in any shape (not need to be exclusively bloated).
  • If you have 0 SHP, Ticks will deal HHP damage to you.
