Warning to folks using HotA Status as containers.

Recommended Posts

I'm not sure if this is something new, or has been around for a while.  I only learned  of it recently.
 
 
A Lit HotA statue will slowly heat any item placed inside it.  If that item is flammable (including Small Magic Chests) then it will take damage, and be destroyed after some time.
 
Turning off the light will stop the heating effect.
 
Update
Capi noted below ... anyone can light a statue.  Just having them unlit may not prevent the burning of contents.

This has been around for awhile.  And it won't heat lumps to glowing iirc, just make them warm.

Another thing: Snuffing the light does NOT safe the HotA from being lit by ANY other player.

As I said, I don't know if it was new or not.  But it was not documented in the wiki, and someone had a SMB take a lot of damage in one ... so best to inform and remind.

prob. 80% of the game mechanics have not made their way into the wiki.  It's sad.

Steel small magical chest with meals in it = 100% the best food storage you'll ever get. One day of cooking will keep you fed for months :P

I've eaten in some restaurants that must use this method to keep their food hot.  :o

I saw some with glowing hot items inside; though, that may be more maintaining the temp than raising it.
