And not one thing related to this topic. So, in a vain attempt to get back on track, has anyone played around with the food that the DEV metioned to see how much of an increase to skill ups it is? Would make camping healing magic so much easier if it's something reasonable...

Curious as to why you say this? You can easily cap Cure potency without the use of a Feet slot.

Assuming you already being casting in -Casting time gear, You only require the following to Cap Cure Potency

Suryas+2 (22%)
+2 WHM hat (10%)
Augm Dom Body (14%)
Augur's Gloves (4%)

Thats +50% Cure potency right there, Assuming you're beginning casting in -Casting time armor, Theres no reason to occupy any but the above slots with Cure potency+, Right?

Even if the best you can do is Aristocrats Coat, Add Orison Earring (+2) and it'll cap you.

I mean Technically you could swap on some MND Feet, or Enmity- Feet, Or Conserve MP feet?

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

My Whm has zero trouble doing everything required of it, and I'll put my whm proficiency up against anyone including your "too scared to show your sets 4 whm on ffxiah" anyday.

You took time to look at my FFXIAH page? Cool, did you take time to notice the level of my whm?

Nope all I had to see was the fact that while your quick to talk down to people about gear choices your too afraid to show your own. Was all I needed to see to get a good laugh.

Interesting to note how you take and respond to that, but ignore all the advice about making you a better white mage. Says loads about you.

Can the spammers be dealt with in this topic? I know this stuff flies on XIAH where these people come from but I thought these forums were going to have these kinds of things dealt with better.

From what I gather reading on other forums the difference is small, having said that as you gain skill levels it becomes slower anyway and the same mobs don't give the same rate of skillups due to "sweet spot" changing so it's pretty difficult to test. As said though it appears you won't notice massive differences with and without from what I've been reading.

Just report them and pray, I guess, if for any reason, off topic drivel.

Anyone synth this, and get HQ's? If so what did the HQ tier produce #'s wise?

Question to the devs since they so kindly dropped some information on mystery food added during an update:

Do Macarons (Kitron, Coffee, Cherry) actually increase the skillup rate of crafts?

What do rusks (Coconut, Chocolate) do?

These items have gotten urban legend status regarding their effectiveness in skilling up crafts and desynths and some information would be greatly appreciated.

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

Hi tried Saltena last night, 90 war, skilling scyth currently 293 killing dc worms and skelly soldiers in gusgen mines with only martial master active(no prowesses) and didnt notice much of a difference if it does indeed help im guessing we talking low percentages or only effects low level skill up rates.
Anyone else had similar results? please post your findings
