Hope they plan to get rid of the annoying special effects when you use a food item, it's eating food, not casting a spell.

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.

I don't really mind it either but other things are out of whack which make it more difficult to craft certain recipes. Something like Crowned Cake is fine, you can get the materials at a reasonable rate, but for something like Lava Toad legs the Lava Toad shares a fishing sweet spot and remainder bar with another fish and you get like 10:1 or worse between the fish you don't want and the Lava Toad. Additionally the Lava Toad is supposed to favor Syrphid Basket bait but that doesn't even work right either, I fished at the spot with 99 baskets and about 300 rat tails and the catch rate was the same

woops long rant

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.

I hope that while they are at that, they are making more food recipes, and are making foods that belong to the same catagory (eg Egg Dish) do different effects instead of the same effect that will ensure no eats that particular dish (eg all egg dishes do is give extra hp ). I want more reasons to cook egg dishes and seafood dishes etc.

I offer suggestion of flavors and spices to dishes. like Spicy Deviled Eggs will do something different than just Deviled Eggs, something like that. A lot of armor has the "Of This Stat" so i think food should have it too in some way.
