Warly
Curio Cabinet Bio	To Warly, cooking is a language through which to express love and gratitude to those he holds dear.

“A masterpiece takes time.”

–Warly

Warly is one of the four playable Characters exclusive to the Shipwrecked DLC. Warly is the ninth character to be unlocked via Experience, requiring 2560 XP to become available. On July 25, 2019, Warly was added to the roster of Don't Starve Together (DST) as the third character refresh and is available for free to all Don't Starve Together players.

Origin

“Maman Angeline's memory leaves her most days, but sometimes, when the taste of one of her old recipes hits her tongue, something sparks and she remembers... even if only for a few moments. Warly promised himself he would always be there for the times she shined through the clouds, and cooks her his favorite dishes from childhood each night in hopes of getting the chance to visit with dear old maman.”

–From the official description for Taste of Home.

Don't Starve Together Taste of Home Warly Animated Short

Before entering The Constant, Warly lived with Maman Angeline. Her memory had become so poor, she did not remember who Warly was. He played music for her from the gramaphone, which seemed to garner a reaction from Maman. The smell of his cooking also caught her attention, bringing color to her surroundings. After taking a bite of his food, Maman Angeline smiled and finally recognized Warly. She finished the meal and lovingly put a hand to his face. He smiled and placed his hand on hers, but then she regressed and sat back. The scenery went completely black and white as the gramaphone uttered eerie noises, and Warly disappeared. Maman is left alone.

Special Power

Main article: Portable Crock Pot

Warly begins his adventure with a Portable Crock Pot; in addition to the functions of a normal Crock Pot, it can cook four special food items: Sweet Potato Souffle, Monster Tartare, Fresh Fruit Crepes, and Mussel Bouillabaise. The Portable Crock Pot can be carried around and placed at any time, so Warly does not have to build a Crock Pot in order to cook his meals. In addition, Warly starts with a Chef Pouch that doubles the life of Food items placed in it; he also knows its crafting recipe (1 Cloth and 1 Rope).

Warly gains 33% more Hunger, Health, and Sanity from Crock Pot meals, letting him regain more Health and Sanity than other Characters from those meals. If the food would reduce any of these attributes, the amount is decreased by 33% instead.

In DST, Warly's percentage modifier for Hunger, Sanity, and Health is 20%. He can craft the Portable Crock Pot and can craft two additional cookware: a Portable Grinding Mill to make seasoning powders, and a Portable Seasoning Station to season any prepared foods. Seasoned foods have additional benefits such as increased wood-chopping efficiency. Warly is the only character who can use this cookware. He starts with 2 Potatoes, 1 Onion, and a Portable Crock Pot in his inventory. The Portable Crock Pot cooks 20% faster than the Crock Pot. It can also cook food items exclusive to it and DST.

Disadvantage

In addition to a 33% faster hunger drain, Warly gains only 70% of the Hunger, Sanity, and Health from raw foods, 80% from dried foods, and 90% from foods cooked over fire. If the food has negative effects on these attributes, the effect is increased by 30%, 20%, and 10% respectively instead. Ideally, his food should always be cooked in a Crock Pot, which can take valuable time depending on what was cooked.

Additionally, Warly likes variety in his diet. He remembers all food items eaten for 1.75 days since the last time they are eaten; if he eats the Food items that he remembers eating, he only gains a percentage of his normal Hunger, Sanity, and Health granted by the Food Item, while the negative effects are amplified by the same percentage. The percentage depends on how many times the food item is eaten before it is forgotten. The first repetition of the food item applies 10% penalty, the second 20%, the third 35%, the fourth 50% and finally the fifth repetition applies 70% penalty on the food values. Any further repetition does not increase this penalty.

In DST, Warly's hunger drain is 20% faster. Also, he is completely unable to eat food that is not a prepared dish from a Crock Pot. He remembers the food he has eaten for 2 days, but the percentage modifier for food repetition uses the same values as in SW.

Tips

• Since the penalty for eating the same meal in a row goes away after 1.75 (2 DST) Days, Warly can just keep eating Meaty Stews or Fresh Fruit Crepes without changing his diet, since those meals are easy to make and give enough Hunger points for 2 Days; by the time Warly needs to eat it again, he will have forgotten the meal and be able to reap its full benefits.
• Between the penalties for eating other foods and the bonuses from Crock Pot meals, Warly should always try to cook his meals in a Crock Pot. Make sure to consider the cooking times when preparing his food.
• The variety penalty is treated as a multiplier when stacked with other penalties. For example, if Warly eats two of the same dried item, the second meal will only give 64% of the normal benefits.
• While the Chef Pouch ingredients require a Science Machine to prototype, they are also possible drops from hammering Crates, making it possible to create additional Chef Pouches without a Science Machine.
• Thanks to the Chef Pouch's ability to extend the time food can be carried before it spoils, Warly can travel long distances without worrying about going hungry. He can also afford to bring meals that have higher benefits but lower spoilage times.
• If the Portable Crock Pot is not needed for a time, it can be used as a temporary marker on the map.
  • Warly can make more Portable Crock Pots in Don't Starve Together, allowing for more permanent map markers.
• Warly's full belly allows him to survive for 2.5 days before hunger goes down to 0. This makes him the character that can survive the 3rd longest on a full belly without eating (1st being Wilba tied with upgraded WX-78, 2nd being Wolfgang).

Lore

• Warly speaks some French. For example, whenever eating something made in a Crock Pot he says "Magnifique".

• Warly might be New Caledonian, judging by his skin tone and French influence. Moreover, Warly's region of origin could be implied by his voice instrument. The steel drum was created in Trinidad and Tobago of the West Indies in the Caribbean (An area well known for its history of piracy). Additionally, he could have roots in Louisiana due to his quote for Seafood Gumbo: "Incredible! Just like Nana used to make!"
