Food effects Fix on 1.18 or 1.19?

I've also heard that eating food with an optimal rank too far below your current rank leads to it not being effective. Not sure if that's the case, but if it is then that's something that should really be explained in the in-game tool tip or something.

I can't wait for food revamp, personally. Really excited to hear it'll be getting some attention soon enough.

Food does make a difference if you know what you're doing. The system is needlessly complicated but if you understand it, the additional benefit does help. Pretty much like FFXI everything is a small upgrade that adds up the more you get.

That said, glad to hear the revamp is coming eventually.

C'mon 1.19! The current food system is overly complicated. I don't want to have to be the right rank, with the right stats, eating the right food. I just wasted 42k on food I can't even use. I also don't want to spend 10k/food for the one that's actually my correct rank. Also, don't wanna bring down my stats either to use the food. They're pretty well balanced, but i'd still have to bring down my STR by like 10 pts just to get an ok boost from Aldgoat Steak.

Another reason for me to be excited for 1.19! Time to rank up Culinarian some more.

they need to just add a description for food on what stats and boosts it gives, i don't want to look it up every time i want pick out food, and i don't get jollies off testing them and memorizing the ones i like. least add stats after maybe eating it the first time, i'll go eat one of everything lol, achievement ftw.

Ya and crafting while facing west on a full moon while holding a spoon on your nose works well too.

Yes I hope this will be added eventually, but for now I'm using this and hoping it's still accurate: http://ffxiv.zam.com/forum.html?foru...9099217&page=1.
Thanks to the poster who posted this link to me before.

My CUL loves this.

This is very good news indeed, but I hope the "Recipe Fixes" also includes more In-Game Recipes made available. It is ridiculous that I have to go to a 3rd-Party Web Site to get even basic recipes (and why don't the Guilds give out the recipes for the Daily Task items?) The Guilds should give/reward/sell all the recipes (depending on rank, of course).

I think we, collectively, have been incredibly patient with the mid-stream team and vision changes that basically changed the game entirely from one to another. We accepted the nerfing, the boxing in of some jobs and near-destruction of others. We have sighed and moved on when promised FANTASTIC character creation options which were a complete disappointment (and when none of the promised male miqo'te appeared either...am I right ladies?) We have put up with hidden equipment stats that may or may not be "real" depending upon whom you ask (I know my CON isn't giving up its ugly wooden shield any time soon). All that considered, I think it would be reasonable for SE to give us a less complex food system or to at least give us some idea what rank, job, etc. is appropriate for each food and drink along with supplying those brave souls who decide to be CULs recipes in a manner more similar to the other crafts.

I am, as ever, hopeful. Gods, what a masochist I am...
