Flying Monkey

]]]][[This option came about from Ben wanting to make certain foods with lots of food hours useful again: "...it's because I feel that the Tower serves some very important purposes that need to be accessible to everyone. Like making humongous meals useful again [happy] also, it gives purpose to a bunch of little items." -City Hall Post on Nov. 16, 2006

Uses

 * Can be fed once every 30 minutes
 * Will return with:
 * Items outside your house
 * Items inside your house
 * nothing
 * Food items with larger food hours increase possibility of better items on return

Things that can't be fed to the Flying Monkey
Not everything your pets can eat can be fed to the Flying Monkey. Generally, if it can not be used in any recipe or it can't be made from a recipe, chances are the monkey can not eat it. Here are a few examples items that the monkey can not eat.


 * Log
 * Bonsai Tree
 * Appleberry Bush
 * Minipalm

Flying monkey Items
It appears the Flying Monkey has four levels in regards to items it can return...


 * level 0: botch.
 * The monkey returns items from your own house.


 * Level 1: Crafts
 * Paper Airplane, Paper Hat, and various crafting materials like Blue Dye


 * Level 2: Alchemy Materials
 * Talon, Blood, Feather, Carrot, Coal and other Alchemy Materials


 * Level 3: Rare, expensive items!
 * (most common)-> Ether Condensate, Abraxas Stone, Grinning Totem, Gossamer, Wand of Polymorph Self <-(very rare)

Flying Monkey Foods
Items are chosen based on a random dice roll with the food level added in as a bonus to the roll. Higher rolls grant better prizes with a 1 or 2 on the dice most likely resulting in a level zero prize. Each level of food improves your chances of getting a good roll as bigger food items grant bigger roll bonuses. The exact bonus sizes and the exact size of the dice is unknown but dice size is theorized to be no greater than 8 or 10 with bonuses as follows...


 * Level 0 = -1 to roll or +0 depending on food size
 * Level 1 = +1 or +2 to roll
 * Level 2 = +2 or +3 to roll
 * Level 3 = +3 to roll

This is a general list. There is always a random chance that a higher or lower level items will be returned by the monkey, so don't feed the monkey anything you feel is "very expensive" hoping for a bigger reward. Also, there are many foods being added all the time, so this is not an exhaustive list- feel free to experiment!

The following foods are in order of meal size. An example of Items returned is italicized
