Peppers are a type of vegetable introduced early in Tale 6. They are grown on dirt terrain from Pepper Seeds. They are used in cooking, and can be grilled in a Firepit. Grilled peppers provide a temporary +1 Strength and +1 Dexterity, effectively increasing carrying capacity by 500 for 10 minutes.

Not to be confused with Black Pepper Plant, Red Pepper Plant, or White Pepper Plant, all of which are herbs.


Cultivation

To grow peppers, plant a pepper seed in a dirt area. Water the plant immediately, and water it again each time it changes size. Harvest once the option appears.

Peppers grow a little differently from other vegetables. At every chance to water, you have the option to add from 1 to 7 water. The number of times a pepper plant grows before harvesting varies; normally it is 7 but it can be more, or as low as 5. Similarly, the degree to which the plant grows is variable: sometimes it will grow much larger in a single step, other times only a tiny amount.

(Hekatef's Notes: It seems to me that a pepper plant becomes ready to harvest when it reaches a certain size. Depending on how much it grows with each step, it may reach this size with few waterings or with many. If it is watered in such a way that it grows a large amount with each step, then it reaches that height quicker and requires fewer waterings to harvest. Consequently, watering it in such a way where each growth is minimal means it will require many steps to reach harvestable size. What impact any of this has on pepper yield, I don't know.)

As with onions, overwatering will not kill a pepper plant.


Yield

Pepper yields vary. It is believed that an optimal pepper yield requires a correct "combination" of waterings; moreover, the correct combination may change from day to day.
