All I can say is that you are not foraging often
enough--that is obvious. What do you do on long runs?
I click forage right before I sit down to heal after
each fight. I have four stacks of different food
items and I have 4 stacks of water. I have on
occasion had to buy water--but only because at that
time I was keeping only 2 stacks of water
going---Sometimes you run into a dry spell, so to
speak. Anyway, except for the occasional lack of
water--if you can't forage enough food to never buy
food again then I don't know what to tell you. It's
not a bug and I doubt my forage works alot better than
yours (although I am maxed at 40).
