Request: Cooking Recipes

[Nyarlko]

Can we get some new group food recipes with modern stat values please? Preferably without rare mats that drop from mega-bosses so we'll actually see them up on AH reasonably often. ^^;;

I'm thinking something along the lines of "sushi platters' or "desert plates", with stats comparable to the currently available acc/macc/atk/mab foods, but function as group food. Absolutely won't complain if stats were actually higher than what we have access to now, but figure that would be too much to ask for. Please forgo the hhp/hmp/resist effects on any brand new ideas though. Those stats have basically zero relevance in the ilvl world we're in now and the stat-space could be used for something actually useful or interesting.

Since group food works on Trusts, they would be good for soloing so there should be some actual demand for them, plus they would give Cooks a new potential market.

------------------
As a separate request, can we finally get some new drinks? >_>;; It's been ages since any were added, and it doesn't make any sense at all that the best refresh drink we can get is still Amrita (Cursed Beverage)... We now have access to multiple sources of refresh so I doubt it would affect balance much at all if we got a "Refresh+5, 5min duration" common recipe. Or a "Regen+10, 5min duration" one.. I routinely get more than either of those from Vorseals alone. :/

--------------------
I ask these things not as a cook, but as a consumer. These are niches that have been neglected for a long time and could stand to see some sprucing up. As long as the mats required are not impossibly rare and/or expensive, I for one would be excited about using something besides the same sushi that's been available for about a decade at this point..
Cooking as a craft also seems to have suffered a lot from lack of new high demand recipes, solid moneymaker recipes, and had the NQ market on much of their staples destroyed by the Curio Moogle, so something like this could help to bolster their corner of the economy.

Make dragon meat something that exists too while you're at it.

It would be helpful if there wasn't a repeat of Ambuscade handing out free stacks of the top accuracy food in the game. Kind of feels like there's no point in cooking sometimes. Especially when we didn't get a new abjuration anything.

[PristineChicken]

I mean, a new abjuration food/drink that gives, say, HP+150, MP+150, Refresh+10, Regen+10, ACC, ATT, RACC, RATT, DEF +15% (Cap 150), MAC+50, MEVA +50, MDB+15, MAB +15, lasts 6 hours, and most importantly, cannot be dispelled, and possibly lasts through death, would not be out of line for, say, a 110 recipe that requires Cursed Soup, in addition to a rare/ex abjuration which is a guarranteed drop from CL135 Escha/Reisenjima NMs would not be out of line, I think, given that other Abjuration 119 gear is BiS or, if not BiS, pretty damn good, compared to all other items in the game.

Give it a synergy version (still yields one) that allows people who aren't cooks to find a cook who can make one (giving money to both the cook and the synergist helping make it), and you might have something that makes cooking worthwhile.

The cost involved in mats and skill and difficulty of getting the abjuration would make it something that would sell well, requiring the NM victories would make the content something people would still do for the food, and the fact that it IS so hard to get/expensive to get/hard to make would mean that other foods would still remain viable and desirable alternatives.

Mushroom stew!
....yeah.
Pet jobs got love, mages got love, we got a new sushi for melee, it's time for some healer food!
I would also like a 200-250 attk food personally because all the 150+ attk food are unfarmable.
