You never did anything like that, I was referring to Pesh. I know you're a nice guy ;p

Numbers however do matter, I did notice a slight increase in damage with Mithkabobs, mostly on WS, not on average hits, a bit more with Yellow Curry, didn't try Red Curry yet. I wouldn't even call that significant, as I said, personally I only noticed it on WS, not at all on melee hits, although I didn't parse it, but I guess I'll do that sometime soon.

And even Mithkabobs give 60 Attack (~15% increase over my standard Attack), not 16 (~4%), which should barely matter. A THFs crit damage is capped very low anyway (inside abyssea too, before damage increasing Atmas), not only because of generally low weapon damage, but also because of the inherently low weapon rank. Only Relic/Mythic/Empyrean and Angr Harpe exceed rank 4.

Here's a parse of my THF in Abyssea - Uleguerand killing Spectators (was for over 8 hours, with a couple of unexpected naps in between):
Target: Spectator
Accuracy: 10327/10870 (95.0%)
Damage Range: 17-200
Average: 49.5
Critical Hit Rate: 8269/10327 (80.0%)
Critical Hit Damage Range: 86-983
Critical Hit Average: 144.3
Total Damage: 1294437

(Notice the extremely beautiful accuracy and critical hit rate values^^)

I'll repeat that sometime soon with Attack food and see how it will affect the total results, but as you can see average critical hit damage is roughly 3x melee hit, so if you factor out the critical hit damage bonus (~38%), that brings it to pretty much 2.1x melee damage for critical hits. For that matter, I could also repeat it using the other setup with Twilight/Triplus and see how far I'll get. I don't have a Kila, but since I'll never get one, I can't really test that.
