Hello, I really like the stats on Altana's Repast, however it's locked behind Stage 4 Cooking Shield. Not that it's a problem itself apart from being a Stage 4 shield KI requirement. The problem still lies in the lack of Culinarian Argentum KI cooking recipes compared to all other crafts where they have. Over a year ago, I made a thread about new ideas for new combo stat foods. There were some points about maybe branching off different combinations of stats type per food based on roles, some focused with a combo of greater quality of stats
1. melee Attack & Accuracy with STR/DEX
2. Ranged attack & Ranged Accuracy, STR/AGI
3. or maybe Accuracy and Magic accuracy. DEX/MIND/INT
4. Magic Accuracy + Magic Attack Bonus. +MP INT/MND/CHR
5. Ranged Accuracy + Magic Accuracy. +AGI/INT
whatever comes to mind for anyone to think of.
One of the problems I mentioned before was how Culinarians really missed out on a lot of potentially serious recipes they could of made compared to other crafts that have their a wide selection of Su3 weapons / armor already have their respective stage 3 shield argentum KI while Cooking only has 1 recipe which is the Marine Stewpot. One of my worries I also had mentioned before was about how when you compare the difference of food's stats from level 75 era period compared to Item level Content Endgame , the net gain isn't that high when you compare squid sushi or sole sushi to Sublime Sushi (about 22-28 accuracy difference). With the current endgame content, new food recipes should have greater amount of certain stats, especially with the way accuracy/magic accuracy requirements are in very high-end endgame content. The other problem I also had was the idea of just slapping on random useless food with little to no meaningful stats, joke food, or adding whatever weak items just for the sake just adding weak junk. A lot of thought should be put into it and not be so restrictive if branching out different stats to each new food
