food

[Bamce Sylph]

i've been looking over food and can't seem to find one i like.
mushrooms are nice for the +2 mp/tick but i don't sit enough to make them viable.
pies are nice, but i don't cast enough to make them viable.
meat kabobs are nice....but my melee sucks.....
fish kabobs are nice.....but i don't draw hate often, even after my second midfight curaga.
i was talking with another bard and he meantioned teas. however on killing ifrit (http://www.killingifrit.com)i can't find any recipies for teas or any stats on them.

on another note i saw "noble Lady" 's give +3 cha when eaten however i can't find them on the ah,

my main intrest in the food is in preperation of doing bcnm's, in which case i assume i'll jsut be eating the fishkabobs for the extra def.

(btw i'm taru w/ +70ish mp from gear, so my mp pool ends up about 200ish w/o food which has been more than enough for me to work with)

BRD's are the only job who don't need to use Food to Level >_>
Only time I have eaten food is for BC Fights, when Im usually the main tank.

[Rekiem]

The only good food for BRD would be Pumkin Pie's but they reduce CHR. You can use other food but the effect is so small thats its pretty much pointless.

Unless you're in any type of BC fight food tends to be a huge waste on bard. The main exception is if you have opo-opo crown. +50 hp +50 mp +14 CHR eating pamamas if you wear that.

edit: Juice is another exception but works different from most food. If you spend your mp a lot like me, juice helps a lot to recover if theres no rdm in your PT(or if he's stingy with refresh).

I'm going to be wearing Justecourps at lvl 58, and that gives me a further -1 VIT aswell as my -5 VIT Signa.

Should I be looking into +VIT foods, I dont get hit much, but -6 VIT is a little scary, considering I'm a taru

The teas are good, but a mere +2 chr seems almost not worth it. I do like they run on 1 hour durations tho. A nice long party means you only need 5 or 6 of them. ON top of that, at least on Ragnarok, sandoria teas go for fairly cheap as long you as buy from the ah. 2.4k at the Lion Spring is no go while I usually grab them for 600 or so a pop in jeuno or san's ahs.

[hatey]

I'm not knit picking, but yeah I think the panama with opo-opo crown is about the only food worth it. And it only really gives you +7 cha, cause the crown gives -7 cha.

Is Pamama Mithra only?

[Vilurum]

If it were, no other race would care about the Opo-Opo Crown, and that's certainly not the case. Pamama is a fruit (basically a banana) anyway. The mithra-specific foods are, if I recall, all raw fish.

[Kweh]

I had never heard of the Opo-Opo Crown until this thread, and looking at this page

http://mysterytour.web.infoseek.co.j...food/07chr.htm

Pamama was in a separate section, as if to say it was unique to the other foods. When I looked in the AH, it mentioned Mithra, and I was just wondering if it was Mithra only.
