Cooking shard costs, 30 minute duration, fading on death.

hmm.. well this is going to drive the price of food down.

I doubt it. It probably won't even have any effect since the real problem is that synthing food simply costs too much in terms of materials for what you get. If recipees were changed so that they now give multiple yields instead of just one, that would drive the prices down.

Unlike what many people here say, I also don't see this change making more people use food. People currently don't use food because food effects are simply too weak AND completely unnecessary to clear content. This isn't like FFXI where food effects had a very noticeable effect on the performance of physical dd jobs. For mages, Ginger cookies were probably the best, lol.
