Re: Food

Cookies are quite annoying since you have to use them so often. The time spent using them every 3-5 mins almost costs more than the extra mp they get you in that time span. If you want +mph, I highly recommend going for something with at least a duration of 30mins.

My WHM food of choice (I took WHM to 60)

Roast Mushroom: For 300+ gil from NPC vendor in Kazham this is a good cheap food that will last just about level 10 to 75 because of the HMP+ and reduced enmity. If i can't find any other food, this is what I will use. Witch Kabob (its HQ) costs way too much and I don't see that extra cost worth the extra 30 minutes when there are other foods I could use that lasts for 3 hours and are cheaper.

Marron Glance: It costs about 1500 to make, it sells on AH for 6k a pop. One of the reasons I use a cooking mule. It will last through the low 60s, when the food starts to cap off.

Mushroom Stew: The only bad part is King Truffle that can be hard to get but you get a much improved Witch Kabob that lasts for 3 hours and at a much cheaper cost. Witch Kabob goes for 50k per stack, Mushroom Stew goes for 15k a pop.

Ginger Cookies: If all else fails, I will fall back to ginger cookies. If I get killed a lot in a party or when I run out of my normal food, I keep some of these for emergencies. this food is also good in low level zones where the duration of party doesn't warrant the 3hr foods.

Re: Food

As I noted above, Chocomilk is good stuff. If you like the +5 mp recovered while healing of ginger cookies but hate constantly using them, get some chocomilk. It has the same +5 effect but lasts 3 hours.

Re: Food

I've always just stuck to witch kabobs in EXP.

I already have enough mp/tick while healing since when i rest i switch to my:

Dark Staff (10)
Errant Body (5)
Baron's Slops (1)
plus /smn always (auto-refresh)
plus RDM or BRD refresh

So an extra 3 per tick off Witch kabobs is just fine for me. Plus the MP/MND boost off of it is decent. The -emnity on it doesn't hurt either.

Chocomilk is nice, but i personally hate using 3 hour food. My luck in the past is normally whenever I take a 3h food the pt will usually last another 30-45 minutes :/ where then it's just a waste of money, or if i wanna switch jobs or do something else i'm screwed from using any other food for the duration of the 3 hours.

Whenever I do something LS-wise (Kirin, COP HNM's, etc) I always use cookies, just because I always seem to die a lot, so even most 30 minute foods are a waste of gil.

Also a good tip if you have high level cooking or have a friend that does, danceshrooms can be chocobo-dug up in Yuhtunga Jungle easy as hell, and anyone over level 60 cooking can HQ roasted mushrooms like no tomorrow, making Witch kabobs fairly cheap.
