Fever Fetish

You won't get nearly as many gems from undead, though.

Barbarian fetish farms are fun, in a evil kind of way.

Do people reckon you get the same number of gems regardless, undead aside? I put some fetishes on my sea kings, thinking that because they regenerate they never die, but I got very few gems off them. Was that just bad luck?

I thought it was one gem a turn, period? Is the rate different, and for what reasons?

The rate varies, for reasons unknown. It seems rather random. It seems to be between 5 and 9 gems in ten turns.

regenerating lost HP != preventing permanent HP reduction

I think the formula is like:
The fewer the current life compared to total life the better the chance to get a gem.

Intriguing. In that case, you should get a creature nearly dead, then give it a ring of regeneration so it never dies. Lots of gems!

I've currently got a lovely fetish farm where someone's holding the chalice. I take the fetishes off them a couple of turns before they die, then normally they recover to full health so they can be diseased again!

I step back from my viewpoint. It seems that you just need less life then maxlife to bring them up to work good.

I did some tests with high hp units and low hp units, there wasn't a big difference. Both worked fine.

So the conclusion is, use units with high hitpoints and without undead state and without regeneration. Regenerate them periodly with items.
