Leeches decrease your SHP slowly, but for every point of SHP damage there's a chance of them healing a point of HHP. The amount of SHP drained depends on its quality, with q10 leeches doing 3shp damage and q40 doing triple or more. Each time a leech drains your SHP, its quality will increase or decrease towards your constitution.
Once a leech becomes bloated it will no longer have any effect on you, but bloated leeches will become skinny again after sitting in your inventory or a container. It is a good idea to collect leeches and store them for future use.
If you're already covered in leeches, and plan on spending extended time in a swamp, there's no real harm in leaving them equipped. Eventually, they will become bloated and will no longer injure you. On the other hand, removing them will allow new, hungrier leeches to take their place and cause more damage overall..
How to Acquire
Walk around or stand in a swamp with empty equipment slots, and leeches will soon attach themselves.
Notes
- Dropped leeches disappear.
- Leeches make excellent fishing bait as well,especially bloated.
- The only other way to heal your hard hitpoints is to make gauze and bandage your head.
- Leeches appear in any kind of swamp.
- Leeches will gain and lose quality towards your constitution.
- Each time a leech damages you, its quality will rise/drop by 1 point closer to your Con.
- Higher quality leeches consistently regain more HHP.
- If you have 0 SHP, Leeches will deal HHP damage to you.
Warning
If your SHP goes down to 0 you will then become unconscious and will continue to lose HHP slowly until the leeches become bloated. Be careful that they dont drain all of your HHP, its not likely, but your character can die without giving you a chance to become conscious and pick them off!
