— ## Bug Description:
Thrall Pot does not work
— ## Bug Reproduction:
Place thrall pot. Put food in it. Damage a thrall with zero food in their inventory. Note that the thrall does not take food from the thrall pot, the thrall pot inventory remains the same and the thrall does not heal from food as they didn’t take any.
This was reported back in June 2023.

Someone else can verify, but I have found I have just had to place a large stack of food in the thrall inventory. Not ideal, though it does allow me to place specialist food with certain properties to benefit the thrall.
Same applies to the Pet food I think.
What kind of food are you putting in the pot? Have you tried other foods?
This was a long awaited bug to be fixed and was supposed to happen as of October 17, 2024 with the release of AoH.
I can add a new wrinkle to this. Firstly my thralls actually do take food from thralls pot. Gruel fwiw.
My issue started when I then tried to level a couple of thralls that had been taking gruel from the pot. I wanted to level them with grilled steak but they kept pulling gruel from the pot from half the map away. I ended up having to put stacks of grilled steak in their inventories instead of just feeding them a piece when they leveled.
The plot congeals, as they say.
Use the feeding box for pets.
Thralls take whatever food you put in the thrall pot, cooked or raw.
I know that. But weren’t they fixed?
I’ve had my followers take food from other peoples thrall pots on the way by 
I remember barkeepers had no problems taking all the food they could from thrall pots.
To my best knowledge fighter and archers supposedly only eat when injured.
It’s another system that needs an overhaul but I’m terrified funcom might try.
Greetings Exiles,
Thank you for sharing this with us!
Please, give us these additional details so we can share it with our development team:
What thrall types is this happening with, is it a fighter/archer type or a crafting type? If a crafter type, some example specializations would be useful (blacksmith, alchemist, etc)
What food is in the thrall pot?
Is this happening on official servers, private servers, and/or single player/co-op?
Are the thralls being attacked/damaged from purges, camps nearby (thrall or animal types) that are aggroing the thralls?
Thank you in advance!
Update the beta servers where players ought to be testing this stuff.
Thrall pots didn’t work at all prior to Beta and live release October 17, 2024.
I tested it on Beta and on Live myself. They seemed to have “fixed” it in that it can be used. But they clearly didn’t fix the intended functionality. Hell, even the thrall list doesn’t show anymore.
