With the recent changes to attack+ foods (caps on the max amount of attack bonus foods will give) the realization struck me- what if it's not just attack bonus foods they changed? The fact that they nerfed the yields on Fish Mithkabobs to match the Meat Kabobs only fuels my suspicions.

So, what I'm hoping to do is find out if there are caps of the max defense bonus that traditional Tank foods also give. However, being only a 49 RDM, I don't have the Defense needed to discover the true limitations of many of these foods. So what I need are some mid- and high-level PLD's and WAR's who are willing to take notes. ^^ Just let me know what your DEF is before and after eating the food, and which food you ate.

Here's the list of foods I want to experiment with, and their effects, copied straight from MysteryTour:

Boiled Crab- Dex -1, Vit +4, DEF +22%
Steamed Crab- Vit +5, DEF +25%
Fish kabob- Dex +1, Vit +2, Mnd -1, DEF +25%
Fish chief- Dex +1, Vit +2, Mnd +1, Chr +1, DEF +26%
Boiled Crayfish- Dex -1, Vit +2, DEF +11%
Steamed Crayfish- Vit +3, DEF +15%
Seafood stew- HP +20, Dex -4, Vit +6, DEF +25%
Black Curry- Dex +2, Vit +3, Int +1, HPRecovery +2, DEF +18%

Anyone who's willing to do this, you can either send your notes via PM on the boards, or post them up here. Also, I can produce any of these foods except for 2 (Fish Chiefkabobs and Black Curry) and I am willing to provide a sample at production costs to any "guinea pigs" that sign up. ;)
 
I was really interested in trying some sushi but I then saw that the sole sushi went for 30k a stack. That was just a little too pricey for me. I hear the Acc bonus on sushi is incredible though.
 
Figures that someone would have already done this, heh- oh well, saves me the trouble. ;) Awesome link Kurgon, definitely bookmark-worthy.

So, based on the info on that link, here's an ideal progression for DEF-bonus foods. Keep in mind this is only for max DEF, some foods higher on the list may actually have lower VIT bonuses.

DEF 1-85 Boiled or Steamed Crayfish
DEF 86-186 Boiled Crab
DEF 187-241 Steamed Crab
DEF 242-360 Fish Mithkabob
DEF 361-380 Fish Chiefkabob
DEF 381-400 Black Curry
DEF 401-480 Seafood Stew
