If you have the {{favilink|Carbide Chef}} skill, a recipe from e.g. honey, {{Favilink|fermented yuckwheat stem}}, and {{favilink|starapple jam}} can produce a recipe including the effect "Whenever you take damage, there's a 10% chance you can't acquire new diseases for 6 hours." Obtaining that effect and then making sure it procs before you descend is the ultimate in glotrot prevention. But even +3 save versus disease is a big help. | ||

* A way to survive the fall. It will deal {{heart}}{{dice tooltip|5d20+225}} damage, enough to kill most characters even in midgame. Cooking with [[Sliced bop cheek]] can reduce fall damage by 90%. A {{favilink|rubbergum injector}} will reduce the fall damage by 75% for [[True Kin]] and 50% for mutants, and can be stacked for multiplicative benefit. | * A way to survive the fall.

* A means of [[flight]] ''may'' avoid all damage on the way down, but be aware that there is a certain chance per turn of falling. With {{F|mechanical wings}}, it's 5% per turn, or an 18.5% overall chance of taking massive fall damage. If you use them, you'll need to reduce fall damage anyway to be safe. | * A means of [[flight]] ''may'' avoid all damage on the way down, but be aware that there is a certain chance per turn of falling.
