Food

[Arris]

Lately I've given up using pies durig exp pts. Only time I do use pies is when I don't use alot of mp and theres a really good RDM in pt . Alot of ppl think I'm weird for that >.< is it really so weird? Sure pies give you mp boost and +a few on stats but I figure I'm better off using ginger cookies, I figure the faster I can get mp up the better. Only time I get to use that extra mp is when we first get to camp and If someone goes afk long enough for me to get full mp (JP PT's don't seem to know the word afk >.<). Other then that I don't get to use the extra mp (pt usually pulls with about 100-200mp and I'm @ lvl 75). Need some opinions on useing food ^^

Re: Food

I thought pies would be more suitable for BLM for the INT boost. I think sweet rice cake is pretty good for Whm, it gives +healing MP and MND. I eat it as RDM too.

Re: Food

Max MP isn't that usefu for WHMl. Ginger Cookie, Chocomilk, Sweet Rice Cake, Roast Mushroom, Witch Kabob, and other +hMP foods are all better choices than NQ pies.

Re: Food

I personally use Roast Mushrooms for the MND boost and +hMP. Mushroom Soup is great too.

Re: Food

I carry a few different foods and gauge what would be best for that party. But the standard fare, Sweet Rice Cakes, some type of cookie, Witch Kabob, Marron Glace, etc.

Re: Food

sweet rice cakes are always sold out
so it's usually roast mushrooms or cookies for me.

Re: Food

I usually use

Mushroom Stew http://ffxi.somepage.com/itemdb/3921
for HNM's and long long fights

for shorter, more intense fights I use:
Wizard Cookies http://ffxi.somepage.com/itemdb/3980

I haven't found much use for MND food at the end game levels but in earlier levels it's pretty decent as RDM, WHM, BLM all pretty much have the same skill levels. Witch kabob's are pretty good for that stuff.

Re: Food

I stick to roasted mushrooms since they are easy to pick up from the npc in kazham for ~300 a piece. Always in stock, deal gets better as inflation worsens, and it even helps lower inflation (ever so slightly) by destroying gil.

Re: Food

Yeah i have to agree, the most affordable food for your gil is Roasted Mushrooms and i use that as well for the +hmp. MND isnt that important after 35ish i feel and at 75 you should have alot of MP to burn without running out, so +hmp is better.

Re: Food

Have some fun synthing your own mushroom meals. It is relatively low level cooking and the ingredients are rather easy to acquire. It didn't take me a couple of weeks before I was synthing Witch Kabobs. Just hunt mushrooms from funguar in La Theine and salt from crabs in the Dunes, or Wadi. The only expensive/difficult part are the fire crystals. Either way, I enjoyed success with kabobs and cookies for hmp boost all the way to crawlers nest and even quicksand caves without feeling the need for anything better.

Re: Food

mushrooms also give -enmity. Well roasted mushrooms and mushroom stew anyway

Though if you're pulling hate with whm AF...there's going to be trouble no matter what food you get.

Re: Food

What I use is Marron Glace. Takes about 1.5k to make one for myself, so very affordable 3h food (500g/hour, not bad).

Re: Food

I personally use ginger cookies. I find the extra mana refresh very useful to keep those chains rollin'
