Breakfast is the Mafia functionality of accomplishing repetitive stuff that you generally would want to do that involves no usage of any resources, nor is there any particular choice or strategy regarding it. For example, there is no reason at all to not pick the Clan Meat Tree or use the Klaw game, or to read your class book (the one that gives you a small number of substats every day), or to use a cheap toaster. These are all done automatically when you invoke Breakfast.

On the other hand, some things you might wish to control. For example, if you wish to use a Tome, or which chips to pick from the Clan Vending Machine. Since these have some user interaction involved, the Breakfast Preferences handles these. Let's check these preferences:

  1. Bring up the Preferences as before under main menubar, General, Preferences.
  2. Click the Breakfast tab.
  3. The first thing you see are options to execute scripts during login or logout. We will skip this, but note that it gives you the ability to perform specialized custom commands. For example, say you want to switch your gear to equipment that boosts your adventures per day, then drink a final cocktail. You could use the On Logout script to do so. In our scripting tutorial we will create such a logout script.
  4. You will see two separate sections for both Ronin-clear characters and in-ronin ones. For the most part, I'd expect you to have both of them exactly the same... EXCEPT to enable 'honor path restrictions' during the ronin period.
  5. I would recommend you click all of the applicable available checkboxes. The clover-acquirer is nice. This command buys hermit permits if needed, then visits the Hermit, gets clovers, then uses them to make them Disassembled Clovers if you have worthless trinkets with which to use them. Note that it will not spend your adventures fishing around in the sewer for Worthless trinkets though.
  6. You probably want to turn off 'Enable Auto-Recovery'. This would for example let Mafia use MP restores to use your Tome or heal you in preparation for adventuring. I prefer to manage this myself.

You are done! Go ahead and activate breakfast by one of several methods. You could click Breakfast from the Daily Deeds panel under Adventuring (I prefer this panel up instead of the Location Details and changed it by using the pulldown). There is probably a Breakfast option somewhere in the pulldown menus. Or you could logout, click Breakfast to enable it automatically and re-login. Now you can check the CLI tab and see exactly what Breakfast did for you.


BOTTOM LINE: Breakfast is a great way to automatically do things that you want done but don't necessarily remember every time.
