Now that they nerfed kabobs...

[poweryoga]

The 2 top new foods are Yellow Curry and Bison Steak.

yellow curry = 10k on midgard
bison steak = 8k

assumingly 3-4 hour duration... now the questions are:

1) who the hell is going to ensure a steady pt for 3-4 hours?
2) when **** breaks loose and you die.... (say on the first pull you link something and die)
3) any cheaper alternatives? Heard something about dhalmel pie but its unconfirmed...

rangers all over vanadiel are going to starve to death. -_-;

[Koroco]

Well atleast you give good alternatives. I am using yellow curry now, my only small complaint is that these foods don't stack. I don't mind the price(makes ranger even more elitist job), the 3hr thing is bad for your listen reasons. There will probably be sometimes that I starve.

Also any word on the new Ranged Accuracy knives?

[Spider-Dan]

A rumor is going around that that lack of RATK increase on most meat foods is a glitch (reverse Bodkin) and will be fixed.

poweryoga, are the two foods you named (Yellow Curry, Bison Steak) verified to give an RATK increase? I'm especially interested in the steak. I was considering eating Roast Mutton, but I've heard that that doesn't give +RATK either (at least, for now).

[nsxtasy]

I used bison steak before the patch and it gave a few points more damage than my chiefkabob. And back then, it was only 1 hour and HQ was 90 min.

Best thing to do would be to have cooking to 60 so you can make your own in the field, since the buffalo meat stacks, but the cooked steaks don't.

i just didnt bother to eat on gods today :|a if they dont change it back i might look into racc food and consider a gear changeup... i refuse to pay for ratk food that doesnt stack and costs 10k a piece. -_-

Royal omelette

Consider Royal omelettes. We tried it last night, it lasts for 3 hours and the damage was better than with chiefs. Harder to find, but for higher level people finding somebody with about 90 cooking shouldn't be too rough. We got ours for 7k. Very reasonable if ya ask me. I've never read anywhere that it helps R attack or R Acc, but they definately seemed to help both. Our RNG was very pleased when he got like 10 from somebodies Bazaar.

I was thinking that too, load up on STR gear and eat ranged acc food instead. Worth a try I suppose D:

[poweryoga]

bison steak and yellow curry are confirmed to have rattack effects but don't stack and are hideously expensive.

royal omlette only been sold like 3 times at 11k a pop for our server so that's kind of out of the question.

I just read on some forums that roast papira helps rattack. Not sure as i don't have time to test this right now... will update if i can find some to eat.

i really hope the meat dishes nerf is unintentional, but this wasn't listed as a bug in the "known issues" news thing. I know some GM said this is a bug, but then GMs aren't known for their honesty.

What did SE do to meatkabobs? im jw cuz I was thinking about rng after drg

[Thegod]

KABOBS used to increase your ranged attack, they no longer do so.

I have been using yellow curry for a while now (even when it only lasted 90 mins) because it was only 5k a pop.

...ever since the patched they raised the price to 10k, but its gone down to 7k as of last night.

I'm gonna stick with yellow curry till i find a better replacement that stacks, or doesnt cost so much.

I dunno what i would do if i die just after eating my 7k food item, i'd be pretty pissed, so ive been more carefull then i usually am.(not trying to blink 6 hits mid fight for the tank anymore)

WHAT THE HELL???
I leave for a cpl weeks and SE just dicks over rangers?
Damn, I hope it is a glitch and that they fix it before I get done with MGS3.

(No valuable information provided in the above post, just wanted to let everyone know of my extreme displeasure with the news)

[Bluejoker1118]

oh wow you make it sound like SE broke RNG....they still own any other melee T_T

[poweryoga]

without a good food to eat rangers can actually lag behind in the damage department 66+, when you are usually asked to open/close lights.
