Another food update?

[Seriha]

Now if only three of those didn't involve obscure ingredients. Saltenas seem like the only reasonable synth of the bunch, but odds are it'll have the smaller bonus of the combat foods.

the ingredients to make these are pretty cheap and easy to come by. either find someone with cooking or wait for people to start flooding the ah with these and drop the price

Cheap for now, and largely in part due to little need for them up until this point. Grauberg Lettuce seemingly comes only from saplings in Grau, and I can't recall ever seeing one drop, but my luck might just suck. Scream Fungus, however, hinges on gardening yields or getting lucky with some casket loot in some zones. A little over 2 sell per day. Hardly enough to sustain a server, but that may also be because people junk them for now. Regardless, inevitable price hike incoming on non-vendor mats.

The skill level to make the Elshena is pretty low according to wiki - that's good news. It is too bad that shriek shrooms are such a pain to get.

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!

Would the devs be willing to tell us the effects of Chocolate Rusk?

The day after i FINALLY cap enhancing. /sigh.

I wish they would tell us everything about food. No one in a trillion billion zillion years would have ever figured out the above foods gave skill gain increases. Makes you wonder what else there is.

Starting to sound an awful lot like the so called crafting foods probably really do affect crafting. So and so is for skill ups. The others are for HQs or less breaks or something. It'd make sense since there's like a few different kinds. I wouldn't think they all accomplished the same exact thing. Hmmmm.

normally they never tell us, anyway some of the ingredients are kinda annoying and there is a general lack of willing crafters these days too. They won't be very common on the ah.

I really don't understand there being ANY secrecy at all about these things. I am not sure what purpose it serves. I guess some people get a kick out of parsing stuff or whatever, but really it just makes the game way more unfriendly to have all these secret effects.

[Zaknafein]

Having everything handed to you on a silver platter isn't for everyone, and certainly wasn't the driving force behind this game since it's inception. Now abyssea era.. yeah that's about as silver plattery as it comes.

You do raise an ironic point here - on one hand, SE provides no official parser for measuring the effects of food items to determine exactly what they do, and on the other hand the hidden attributes of these items remain secret for quite some time because it boosts a stat that is not visible and hard to measure.

Yeah, we saw how well that worked with AV.
