How did food change in the new update?

maryadavies · Post by **maryadavies** » Fri Dec 10, 2004 5:16 pm

I understand that some of the effects of food (Including mithakbobs; mithkabobs are no longer good for RNG since they no longer affect ranged attack) have changes with the new update ^^ (I like what the rumored change to roast mushrooms was tho-- a -emnenty!)

Okay. Mainly I wanna know so I know what to aim for when I start synthing/playing again, but can ye cats tell me; what foods are good for each of the jobs now that the update's over? Please let me know, and let me know what level you are if you tested it yourself ^^ (I gather a lot of cooks'll have to push for higher levels now and I might make more profit! Though for Midgard MP kitties, if I gots the skill and you can get the ingredients for cheap, I'll make it for you

)

I have a feeling that this topic will be updated a whole lot over the course of a few weeks or months maybe as people start to learn/discover what the different foods do and which ones will really help XP partying for the different jobs. It seems though that the general ideas still do fit....meat foods for melee classes, sweets and pies for mages....breads for monks...It's looking like the HQ synths for different items will be hot items now too as they'll last up around of 3 hours of game time (note: this only applies to non-stackable items). hopefully everyone will have fun playing around and chowin down on the new food items that we'll be cooking up. Unfortunately I have a creeping suspicion that the ingredients to craft all these goodies are going to through the roof in price. (cockatrice meat went from a steady 20K to 22K on the first day)

*nods*

I assume so as well..tho I'll still be glad to make tasty munchies for my friends (On Midgard, of course) or for all Midgard MP kitties...as long as I got the skill for it and the person in question will get me the ingredients ^^

Prolly gonna go back to crayfish balls to skill when I get on (that turned out to be cheaper than the orange au lait) but I still wanna know what does good, I'm kinda out of this loop 'cause of some RL messes.

you can almost always bet that making bait for the fishers will bring in the money

but as for good for stats we're gonna have to experiment to figure that out

*** Meat dishes ***
Mainly improve attributes such as STR, attack, and ranged attack.

Grilled Hare (Unstackable – but look at the Duration now (^_^))
(Very easy to make, even for beginning Cooks! (^_^))
(Level 1 MNK) STR +2, INT -1, Attack +33.3%
Duration: 3 hours(!)

(Level 75 MNK) STR +2, INT -1, Attack +4.1%
Duration: 3 hours

Roast Mutton (Unstackable – but look at the Duration now (^_^))
(Level 1 MNK) STR +3, INT -1, Attack +45.5%
Duration: 3 hours(!)

(Level 45 WAR) STR +3, INT -1, Attack +18.8%
Duration: 3 hours(!)

(Level 75 MNK) STR +3, INT -1, Attack +7.9%
Duration: 3 hours

Juicy Mutton (Unstackable – but look at the Duration now (^_^))
(Note: +1 version of Roast Mutton)
(Level 35 RDM) STR +3, INT -1, Attack +27.8% (or Attack +35)
Duration: 4 hours(!)

Meat Jerky
(Level 35 RDM) STR +3, INT -1, Attack +23.8% (or Attack +30)
Duration: 30 min

Meat Mithkabob
(Level 1 MNK) STR +5, AGI -1, INT -2, Attack +54.5% (or Attack +6) (Attack changed from 11 -> 17)(Note: If we subtract the Attack boost due to STR +5 (where 2 STR = 1 Attack), then the Attack boost is +31.8%)
Duration: 30 min

(Level 35 RDM, 40 NIN, 45 WAR) STR +5, AGI +1, INT -2, Attack +23% (or Attack +38 on WAR / Attack +30 on RDM)
Duration: 30 min

(Level 75 MNK) STR +5, AGI +1, INT -2, Attack +15.8% (or Attack +62)
Duration: 30 min

Meat Chiefkabob
(Level 1 MNK) STR +5, AGI +1, INT -2, Attack +54.5% (Attack changed from 11 -> 17)(Note: If we subtract the Attack boost due to STR +5 (where 2 STR = 1 Attack), then the Attack boost is +31.8%)
Duration: 1 hour

(Level 75 MNK) STR +5, AGI +1, INT -2, Attack +17.5%
Duration: 1 hour

(Note: this is seems to be the biggest “nerf” in that a standard Synth is now only yields 6 Mithkabobs (instead of 12) and the Attack Bonus #’s are down for high level jobs using them.)

Dhalmel Pie
(Given that this recipe is much higher level than a Meat Mithkabob, I decided to try these out and see what changes there were (rather big change for this food!))
(Level 1 MNK) HP +15, STR +4, VIT +1, AGI +2, INT -2, MND +1, Attack +45.5%
Duration: 30 min

Duration: 30 min

(Level 75 MNK) HP +25, STR +4, VIT +1, AGI +2, INT -2, MND +1, Attack +12.3%
Duration: 30 min

(Note: considering Dhalmel Meat is much cheaper than Cockatrice Meat, this could be a potentially cheaper alternative for Attack/Melee food

.

Dhalmel Steak (Unstackable – but look at the Duration now (^_^))

As a rule of thumb, fish and sushi arrre best for range attacks. ;3

*** Pies ***
Mainly raise INT and maximum MP.
(The effects of most pies did not require adjusting.)
Example: Apple pie

Apple pies do not last longer than 5 minutes any more. I happen to have some one my mule when playing paladin and gave a few to my Galka Whm for more Mp. I noticed he got more MP and all but he used all 4 i gave him in less than 30 minutes

I've been doing some research on foods and it appears that the foods to increase ranged attack (the damage you do) are:

Rice Dumplings (stack to 12)
Blackened Frog (stack to 12)
Bison Steak
Omelettes
Yellow Curry
and Dhamel Pie (stack to 12)

There are probably more, but these are the ones I've found thus far.

Apple pies did not get fixed in the update patch. 4 minuets is all....

maryadavies · Post by **maryadavies** » Tue Dec 14, 2004 3:46 am

They said those get fixed tomorrow..

So if you still got apple pies, mule them, store them, whatever you need to do to save them. You'll get them back the way they were after tomorrow's patch.

Which is good news for cooks like me who might want to skill on apple pie a bit so as a mage we can use it ^^

So don't cuss at the patch tomorrow, welcome it

(That's why apple pie is an exception. It's a KNOWN bug and it will be squashied after tomorrow ~~ )

Kopopo · Post by **Kopopo** » Tue Dec 14, 2004 4:14 am

I cuss out patches because it means more downloading stuff.

maryadavies · Post by **maryadavies** » Tue Dec 14, 2004 3:23 pm

Cuss if you want ye taru, but this is fixing some issues. I'd rather have the patches than have my apple pie only last 5-8 minutes, gahhhhhh!

Anyway, if anyone needs proof, it's here. This will also make BRDs really happy, since Panamas and Wild Panamas were affected by this nasty, dirty bug as well. (Don't throw away thy Opo-Opo crowns anyone!)
