Summoner Food

[Sabia]

I'm eating ginger cookies right now...I was wondering if this was right at level 52 or not? I have it macrod with my /healing macro but I was wondering if there was something better that lasts a bit longer? I know of stuff like choco milk and all are out there but the +MP Regen while resting is higher on the cookies.

Any suggestions? Or should I just stick with the cookies? I'm not really into the pies as I really don't need the MP boost, just need to get my MP back faster while healing.

m a 60SMN/30WHM on the Midy server...love the 13% added MP and the + 1 regen mp while healing. add that to my dark staff and my verm cloak...SWEETS!!!..these jumped up and down in price from 4K --> 3K --> 4K (last i checked. out of town so i havent played in a few days ><). sweet thing is, my friend is a 92+ cook and can make me 12 of these for about 10K. saves me some good gil. another food that i like is Mushroom Stew..that one is also nice for a WHM or SMN seeing how it adds +40MP, +4MND, -6VIT, +4(might be +2 now) mp regen while healing. thing is, those are 10K+ now..i remember when they used to be only 4-5K. luckily my friend can also make these and at a cost of maybe 80K for 12(still save me a nice penny). O-yeah, both the glace and stew last 3hrs. so 4K or 10K for a 3hr food is WELL worth it in a xp pt. well...good luck to all of you searching for that right food for you. seems that i have found 2 ^^
Off the page for Marron Glace on Allakhazam... I hear the INT boost from these have been taken off though... so I'll be sticking with my Melon Pies +1.

crimson jelly > marron glace > kuchen

The cookies are good, but they can get expensive depending on how often you eat them. You'll be fine as long as you keep enough stacks with you. Really annoying when they wear off while you're resting, though.

Yeah..this is the main reason I want to stop using them...it's damn annoying when they wear off right as I sit down.

Try using mushroom stew.

MP +40
Strength -1
Mind +4
MP Regeneration While Healing +4

It is the best food IMO for higher lvl WHMs and you might like it...
Lasts 3 hours which is nice, and the mpreg is great for keeping the chains going.

 

[Sabia]

anyone have prices on stuff like this....the crimson jelly is stupid expensive so that's out. I tried looking up mushroom stew and it wasn't on the AH, I need something that's available at a reasonable price.

Marron Glace is about 2-3 k, and lasts for 3 hours.

I can confirm that the Marron Glace doesn't add anything to INT. I was VERY disappointed by that, since I cranked out about 40 of them while levelling cooking, thinking they'd rock the socks off of my BLM husband, heh. They still have a good MP bonus, so he uses them when he'll be doing AM bursting and needs a higher MP pool to work with.

Right now I'm using Sweet Rice Cakes. They have a weird spread of bonuses, but are kinda cool. MP +17, VIT +2, INT +3, AGI +1, Evasion +5, adds 2 to both HP and MP recovery while resting, and supposedly increases resist to Silence. I like having them for when I get hit by an AoE or somehow manage to get hate (only happens with a crappy tank though), and they're literally a steal at about 4500 a stack (lasts 30 minutes). I really mean that too- main reason I'm using mine is because it's physically painful to sell them at that price. Actual cost to craft them is about 10-12K a stack, but because they're the only viable recipe from about 95-99 cooking, people dump them at a huge loss.

Main reason I recommend this item is because you say you're not concerned about increasing MP pool, but MP recovery. Glace and Kuchen will increase your base pool by a fair margin, but not recovery so much, and have no INT bonus. I've heard that INT can increase the potency of your summons' magic, hence the vote for rice cakes.

Use any HQ pie. They will increase your max MP and your mp recharge. If you use pumpkin it will increase your mnd as well.

I personally use Mushroom Stew, and if by chance I die, at 7-8k each, unstackable, I carry along Roast Mushrooms. I can vouche for it being quite useful, gives hMP, MP, MND, and a few other things, but I really like it's performance boost.
