Man... I'm not pissed or anything, but, what do I eat now as a THF? or a NIN? I used to eat chiefs as a THF and Navarin as a NIN but now they changed it soooo much I have no clue what the hell to eat. Anyone know? I guess sushi or fish dishes but anyone know the best ones? Bobs are garbage now.

Also, I am a level 40 cook. What the hell do I cook now? Am I still going to get the same skillups as before?

My head is gonna explode like the guy in Big Trouble in Little China.
 
? What did they do to my precious kabobs now? *must have missed it somewhere*
 
Prices went up on kabobs because....
Meat synth (No HQ) Yeilds: 6 meat miths, instead of 12 meat chiefs
HQ1 is 12 meat miths, HQ2 is 6 meat chiefs, and HQ3 is 12 meat chiefs.

Damn you SE :evil: :evil: :evil:

Of course, if you cook, and HQ these baby's a lot.... Kaching! $$$
 
Foods are now affected by JOB and LEVEL. So depending on what job and what level that job is the food has a different affect. Bobs don't even give a DEX bonus anymore ><
 
What the hell is going on? What Job? ...... :shock: :?:
 
Oh christ...I mean it took us forever to figure it out before...

Yeah this new "Food" thing is just captian stupid :evil:
 
Why the hell do they feel the need to complicate EVERYTHING!!!
 
If they wanted to change food, they just should of added new types of food and such..not change old food.

Graaaaah Screw you SE!!!

I can't remember what I cooked at this level. I think it was creating pickled herrings until 46.

Son of a Bitch Must Pay!

I watch that movie daily. It's kind of sad, but I don't care. I love it.

If anyone figures out what I should eat as a 50 THF or 30 NIN let me know.
 
Ha imagine my suprise when I ate a Hob. Choc (+5 MP regen while healing) and 5 minutes later it was gone (they normaly lasted 30 minutes)! I was like wtf is going on. I had 10 from my last stack that I had payed 8k for and now they are almost worthless. I think they stack to 99 now but gods how much is that going to cost.

You figure 1 every rest cycle (about 5 minutes) 60 / 5 = 12 an hour per exp party. As I'm lvl 56 a party normaly runs 4 hours or more 48 Hob choc per party wow.

I'm confused as why they had to change it at all ?
 
Reducing mp regen foods to a mere 3-5 minutes is nearly counter productive. The amount of time spent selecting/using the food in an hour will almost equal the mp gain it use to provide. Doesn't even seem worth the hassle now. Anyone know another +mp regen food that lasts at least half an hour still?
 
I believe pies +1 have an added MP regen effect, and last an hour. Unless of course they nerfed that too. -_-
 
Ok, finally found a good low down on some important food stats courtesy of Applepie on FFXIonline.com. At least now we know what mage foods to eat again and they are actually much stronger than our old goblin chocalate with a nice boost to mp. I haven't checked prices though, so we might be getting burned still.

As most of you here noticed, S-E made a lot of changes to food effect with the latest update.

Well, most of important foods for mages didn't seem to be affected a lot except for Apple Pie lasting only 5 minutes (I hope it's a bug or something).

Attack+ foods were messed up right now. We used to eat Meat (Chief) Mithkabob mainly because it has the best cost per peformance. However, I think this trend no longer continues.

Before the update, Meat Mithkabob provided us with

STR+5, VIT-1, AGI+2, INT-1, Attack/R-Attack +22%

With the latest update, it still gives us the same stats and +22% to attack but S-E made a limit to the increase of attack.

Suppose we have 300 attack. Before the update, we got (300 * 1.22) = 366 but after the update, we only got 360 because the increase of attack is capped at +60.

What is worse, Meat (Chief) Mithkabob no longer increases R-Attack. Bad news to RNGs. A lot of RNGs I met in Ballista are confused.

As for those we, red mages, commonly eat in XP PT, some are changed.

Goblin Chocolate: hMP+2 ---> hHP+5 and only lasts 3 minutes
Hobgoblin Chocolate: hMP+5 ---> hHP+7 and only lasts 5 minutes

Rolanberry Pie: 60 minutes ---> 30 minutes and stackable
Pamama Tart: 60 minutes ---> 30 minutes and stackable

Snoll Gelato: MP+10, INT+2, MND+2, hMP+1 ---> MP+16% (cap +75), hMP+1
Sub-zero Gelato: HP/MP+10, INT+2, MND+2, hMP+2 ---> MP+16% (cap +80), hMP+2
Malon Glace: MP+15, AGI-1, INT+4, hMP+1 ---> MP+13% (cap +85), hMP+1

Others such as Melon Pie, Pumpkin Pie, Roast Mushroom, Sweet Rice Cake and Witch Kabob didn't seem to be the same as they were before.

And from allakhazam (so use at your own risk) here is a nice chart for melee foods now. The important thing to look at is the cap on +atk for each food.
Code: 
Name        Attack    Cap     Rattack
Mithkabobs  +22%      +60     N
Chiefkabobs +22%      +65     N
Navarin     +27%      +30     ?
Yel.Curry   +20%      +75     Y
Bison       +18%      +90     Y  <-- Note the high cap number
BoiledCocka +22%      +60     Yes and no? Requires verification
RiceDumpl.  +15%      +45     Y
Mutton      +27%      +30     ?
HQ Mutton   +27%      +35     ?
CoeurlSautee+20%      +65     ?
DhalmelSteak+25%      +45     ?
Dhal.Stk.HQ +25%      +50     ?
TonosamaR.B.+100(no%) Def+60  ?

The cap should be fairly obvious; for example, if your attack is 300 and
you're eating Navarin, then you should have 381 Attack, but that is
capped to +30 --- therefore, you only have 330 Attack. That's what
they mean it's more beneficial to eat certain foods at certain levels.

Note that the HQ versions of food simply raise the cap by +5.

Progression of food recommended in said thread: (though not for RNGs, obviously)

Attack food to eat
1-51 Grilled Hare
51-111 Navarin
112-180 Dhalmel Steak or Rice Dumpling
181-272 Miths or Boiled Cockatrice
273-307 Coeurl Sautee
307-375 Yellow Curry

A few more hMP+ foods for the mages, still looking for something between 30 min and 2 hours.
Code: 
Acorn Cookie     hMP+3 3min
HQ Acorn Cookie  hMP+5 5min
Cinnamon Cookie  hMP+4 3min
HQ Cinnamon      hMP+6 5min
Ginger Cookie    hMP+5 3min
HQ Ginger Cookie hMP+7 5min
Chocomilk        hMP+3 3hrs
HQ Chocomilk     hMP+4 4hrs
 
Acorn cookies are dirt cheap in Windurst. 12 a piece. so...1188 for a stack if you have Hero fame.
