Another food update?

[xbobx]

Se is famous for this. Add something we really want and make it only work around the 2% mark. Why bother with food, just increase the fing rate. It is a useless time sink.

Maybe Moogle Camate is a veteran cook and creating a new market for himself ~.^

MND, Enmity, Haste. Also you can give up the body slot's potency for enhanced cureskin

Sorry, I went to sleep.

You said "potency". I was simply asking for clarification. It can be very misleading for some. I wished for you to simply get your point across better. Because the way it sounded was that you didn't know Cure potency capped at 50% and you were putting on Cure potency everywhere after your casting time- gear, to me anyway. I know that wasn't the case however.

You have to forgive me when it comes to people saying "Use Potency gear" in relation to Cure spells I assume Cure Potency+, not MND, Haste, or Enmity. because only 1 of those 3 effect its actual potency. (Which is why i suggested MND feet in the original post).

Haste/MND would likely be the best bet in that situation. However unless you're with a particularly stingy NM or bad tank (or a large group?) haste on the cures would be a smaller boost, As you have Cure V, and Cure VI, which should be more than enough for a singular tank, So i would think if you were the main healer in a very-low-man setting MND would be your best bet for those slots mid-cast.

And to those upset about it going off topic... Rather this is off topic or not its incredibly useful information to new White mages, or old ones. Their bickering is childish but in the long run someone can learn from this discussions because in the end its educational.

Theres a good and bad side to it, They just need to calm down and stop with the personal attacks. It never gets anywhere.

And to the whiny people complaining about this being off-topic. ... shove it? Rather this is off topic or not its incredibly useful information to new White mages, or old ones. Their bickering is childish but in the long run someone can learn from this discussions because in the end its educational.

That's nice but your oppinion is no more important than anyone elses, i'm well aware some people like spamming up topics, drama, flaming etc but the same can't be said for everyone. If I open a topic about a new food that the staff here gave important info on I would like to read about that, there are plenty of forums people can act like 2 year olds on bickering about who has the best gear, or uses spellcast properly.

Well nice to see a few people busy crapping up a decent thread with nonsense, flaming and just complete off-topic garbage.

I know, I thought I ended up in the WHM section some how when I came to see if there was any new food info. >.<

I never once said my opinion was more important Rune, I would very much appreciate it if you didn't put words in my mouth. especially considering i on more than one occasion advocate and preach that each person should be entitled to voice their opinion, something i still believe true.

Knowing you read the rest of my post, you see i said their flamming/childishness is stupid, I don't like nor condone their methods, But in the end this could help someone if their childish insults were put aside.

All the best information on the new foods were on page 1, and i do believe the topic could be done from there, Outside of possible testing. Which i explain below why that would be unrealistic to expect.

But it doesn't help to bump the thread with posts like "hur hur this topic is being stupid hur hur". because those types of comments are as bad as the bickering. You're insulting indirectly those people who are making the topic off discussion. Its being hypocritical as well as contributing to the very thing you're insulting (going off topic).

If you don't like where a topic is going, and if its severe enough, Report those making it bad.

I understand wanting to find new information on this, but don't comment on two people bickering and going off topic, Because then you only contribute to it. Simply report them and move on. If it severe enough (or you spam report enough ^^) i assure you it will be deleted and you won't have to worry about it anymore!

ON TOPIC:As far as testing the foods Effectiveness. It would be incredibly difficult to do. Skill up rates vary massively based on the Enemies level and your Combat skill, and what level your skill is, etc.

Example, 1~200 is a lot easier to skill up, Skilling up on T/VT/IT mobs produces better results than an DC~EM mob regardless of skill level, things like that.

That being said, i Expect this to be a boost similar to Prousse ring, Meaning you'll see nothing but "It helped me a lot!" or "It sucked!" and no real numbers or results will come from it. Because Its almost impossible to accurately test without thousands of hits of parses. which are ultimately skewed because of mob level variances and you skilling up in the process.

I really hope a staff member responds on this.
Someone on FFXIAH mentioned that information regarding the effects of Macarons/Rusks was given in a Japanese magazine.
[FFXI Dengeki no Ryodan-hen Vana'diel Official World Guide 2010 Vol. 2 (2010/10, ISBN-10: 4048701029)]
^You can find the post on the Kitron Macaron page.

But, yeah. I don't understand enough Japanese to bother buying the guide for this information. I've heard mixed results on what they actually do. Though, common belief is that the Macarons are varying levels of a "Less Break Rate" effect, and Rusks increase HQ rate. Whether this is true, false, or partially true with other effects, we can't tell until SE tells us or someone else with the information confirms it.

Show us some love Camate, get the info. <3

Macarons dramatically lower break rate but also cripple HQ rate.

Rusks appear to dramatically enhance HQ rates.
My study

This is one, out of a hundred, "why didn't they do this to begin with" topics. One could easily think FFXI is SE's first game ever. I don't even recall them adding items in single player games that didn't state anything about what they did. And if they did, I probably never used them.

FF7 and since had item descriptions.

The price for this has doubled in Bismarck. 30k-40k a stack now

[Kristal]

Looks like automatons got their skill up food Well, it's stackable at least. And automatons don't actually eat, so it won't digest... [[Percolator]].

[Kristal]

Howdy! I actually have some information on a couple of food items that perhaps not many of you know about...

Attachment 261
Attachment 260

Both of these items increase the rate of combat skill gains.

Attachment 258
Attachment 259

Both of these items increase the rate of magic skill gains.


The more you know!

Do you think you could divulge some clues on the true function of the Tactical Processor? And if the Deluxe Animator is indeed Deluxe or merely the homeshopping version of the Animator +1?
