Seriously, what the fuck was SE thinking? That is all.
 
I dunno, if used in the right situations (I'm sure you know which one I'm referring to), it beats having your party not having food at all.

Think AoE. Think Food.

There ya go.

Eat it like any ordinary food and all party members within range will recieve the effect of the food. A WHM had the genious idea to eat Black Pudding standing next to me so I had +MND, INT and MP for 3 hours as a DRG. When I asked the WHM why she did it, she responded "What else was I supposed to do..." She was serious. Obviously, the option to NOT EAT IT wasn't available. But even if you wanted all jobs to gain the effect, it's still a waste, they are inferior to many commonly used food choices.
 
I used that once on purpose in a dunes pt. They refused to eat food... so I let them have mine! Noobs ._.;
 
You can piss off a party with it. There is a particular food (Nashmau Stew?) that gives negative stats to everyone for 180 minutes.

Group Food Effects
Vitality -10
Agility -10
Intelligence -10
Mind -10
Charisma -10

Go into a dunes party (or whatever) and use it. Then sit back and be amused. :crazy:
 
Is it like how birds regurgitate into the baby chicks?
I think I'm gonna bring antacid with me :(.

I had every intention of eating appropriate food until the WHM ate it without so much as moving away from me to avoid the AoE effect or any warning. At first I thought I must have ate food myself and just forgot, but when I checked my food to make sure, it was all there. In your case, it was probably a good thing, but everyone in my party had surprisingly brought their own food, but only half of us used food before she gulped down the pudding.

I'd even considered killing myself, but having to run from Aht Urgan all the way back to Qufim was far too long a trip or waiting for a raise could have taken forever to get to me plus the weakness timer just wasn't worth it. The experience lost just wasn't worth the time especially when I knew the WHM was an idiot to begin with.

I'd rather not encourage people to do things like this. I read the little thread in Good Times with the link to BG forums about someone who did something similar and although, it was a slightly amuzing, encouraging people to act like idiots just isn't my thing. It's one thing if people deserve harsh treatment or are complete asses, but another to act like complete asses just for the sake of being an ass.
 
Lavi, you know there is an Npc in Lower Jeuno that removes food effects? From the sound of things you might have still been in Jeuno at the time. If you weren't in jeuno at the time then yeah the Whm is a dipshit.

I was in Qufim, but had I known, I might have gone. Where is this NPC? I've heard of it before, but no one has told me where and I had looked online but I couldn't find any mention of it, but I also had no idea what to look for either.
 
Parike-Poranke, Tarutaru, H-8, by the "Merry Minstrel", Lower Jeuno.

Opps, Trade a Gysahl Greens to him to get Food removed.

Edit: So um...yeah just found this out. Don't trade him when you don't have a food effect on. You get Diseased. >.>

holy shit that same thing happened to me when i was lvling my drg in boyhada @ like lvl 57 or something creepy =\ but yea i had shit acc ect so i just died and there was a 75 whm near by so i gota r3
 
an old friend of mine did this once. he didnt realize the food was AoE when he used it. we were talking about random things before getting started then i see the food amimation cover everyone.

we all did a "wtf dude :shok:" at the same time. i was crackin up laughin the entire time. it was some +HP food he wanted to try. i wanna say it was a stew but i cant remember. that was my first and only experience with AoE food. is any of it good?
 
Not really, there's readily available food that easily beats group food and doesn't piss off your party at the same time.
 
If the aoe food doesn't overwrite food efffects already in play I dont see why person cant use em. the only reason I've not used em yet to improve lowbie parties where 1-5 people dont use food is cause I dont know if it overwrites the good effects. Int+ food and hmp food come to mind.
