<@anselmus> has never learned to train apport
<@Umbire> ...don't you just literally throw a pet treats?
<@ais523> the timing of throwing the treat matters
<@anselmus> something about giving it food when it brings you something
<@jonadab> Isn't apport the thing that makes pets waste a lot of time backtracking to pick up junk objects you don't want?
<@ais523> if you do it immediately after a pet drops an item adjacent to you, that's +200 apport I think?
<@ais523> and other combinations give rather less
<@ais523> @jonadab yes
<@Umbire> "Apport can be increased by feeding your pet any comestible that qualifies as a treat shortly after it has dropped an item near you."
<@ais523> but high apport does make stealing from shops faster
<@ais523> I think apport is a stat for people who have time to spare and want to play "optimally"
<@ais523> rather than a stat for speedrunnres
<@anselmus> no i prefer just quietly seething at the pet
