Buy your Tanking Food Now

[ish007xx]

Which foods would you recommend? What's a decent poor mans options vs the best?

I use buttons in a blanket can cost a bit sometimes but most of the time its affordable

Foods can be had by any NPC selling at random locations. Using the LIBRA app. one should never ever have to buy crafted foods unless your just wanting HQ versions.

Only food I've seen from vendors is low level stuff that isn't even worth using.

^ This is true. The highest stat bonus on vendor food for tanks is only 5 points. Highest stat on cooked food for Tanks is 27.

Buttons in a Blanket is the best universal food. You can use it for Tank/DPS/Healer. Tank wise HQ La Noscea Toast is the best choice until you can find ilvl 100 gear. Not sure for for respective Physical/Magical DPS food as I don't use them at all.

Oh just in case peoples still think they must stock up Foods and sell it later for profits (or whatever)

If anything, food prices will go down.

[ProxyTooMuch]

Food prices will always end up being relatively close to the cost of the materials. If the price of food starts off being really high, lots of culinarians will flood the market, buy out the materials and undercut until the price is just barely profitable compared to the price of the mats. If the price is too low, then lots of culinarians will leave the market, reducing demand for the mats until the price is at acceptable levels again.

Capitalism.

With the current gear selection, it's Deviled Eggs if you need less than 10 accuracy, and HQ Stuffed Cabbage if you need more acc (up to 27). For DPS anyway.

This...

I sold all non-star HQ food for 6500gil + a piece until about a month ago when EVERYONE got on the food bandwagon. There are too many people supplying buttons in a blanket to make it worth my while trying to control that but I own the entire servers supply of eft tail... lol. I'm back to selling Eft steak for 7000gil ea.

I think NQ food is going to essentially vanish from the market since the buff will persist through death.
