Food and 2.0

[rina_inverse]

that's cool. However, recipes should be down-tuned in th amount of mats required. And more of that, most of its mats are from npc

I think it make sense that food requires lot of different mats
we can farm those mats anyway

Culinarians and food connoisseurs alike,

We received some feedback stating that compared to HQ equipment, there are no real boons for using HQ foods. We brought this to the Development Team's attention and we were able to procure a bit of tasty information.

While reviewing the battle balance in A Realm Reborn, we will be looking into the benefits of HQ food. This is to ensure your highest quality dishes will rightfully power and inspire any hungry soul.

Can you ask them why some foods still have 8 ingredients while most other crafts were lowered to half the materials or so? I suppose it's because a stack of food can last a long time, just wondering

[Ingolf]

I don't mind cooking requiring a lot of mats.

But the food needs to be worth it and usable in PVP.

Whilst food in PVP will only make certain foods good, it's still important that they do it.

Make several good foods for each job depending on the situation.

You clearly never cook yourself
go to the kitchen and find out that cooking need lots of ingredients

This is a silly mindset to take, seeing as any of the crafts in XIV would require more work than is shown.

I don't play XIV for the incredible realistic gameplay.

More mats for food is fine but the more complicated dishes should have better effects.

yes, it simple to cook preheated/pre-processed food
just like making Pastry Fish from raisins

You also don't create juice in a frying pan irl, so spare us the comparisons

I'd agree with this if Stuffed Cabbage didn't exist. That is one of the worst crafts ever.
