Allow food to be kept for 30 minutes (even across dead)

[Fire-Dragon-DoL]

I know may sound stupid but there are some foods that REQUIRES time to be gathered and created, we can't lower the price so much because they do require time but... let's think about it: a food costs 6k, I can't imagine anyone using those (I'm speaking about combat foods), for example if someone disconnect for 1 minute right at the start of the battle, you have lost 6k gils in 3 seconds?

Isn't it a too big punishment? I think food must last 30 minutes, no matter what happens.

This maybe will result in even a better market share for culinarian, so an improvement for everyone.

I would be on board with this, it can get quite costly to keep food up if your party is having difficulties clearing what ever content they are attempting.

This is really necessary. The food buffs are already so small as to be nearly insignificant. The only real difference is the extra vit provided, and that's really only important for the tanks.

Considering the cost of food, the number of mats required, and the meager impact that food actually gives, yes, it should definitely persist on death.

AND I suppose you MUST die if the content is well done, so it's quite pointless allowing the food to cost 6k and not allowing it to keep working after a wipe.

Food effects should not last after death.

[Magnus]

Buff food effects and change the duration on HQ food from 30 minutes to an hour.

My food is free what do you mean 6k? I don't undestand why you can complain when you're the one forking over the gil for it when you could easily be making the food yourself.

[LunarEmerald]

Completely agree.

Good food is expensive and food is a waste if it goes away after dying.

It really doesn't need to be something that lasts through death. Do you (generally speaking) die a lot in this game? Probably more than most other MMOs. Does food provide a significant advantage? Not really. It helps but is far from necessary in most situations. If you're part of a raid team, there's typically someone who is looking out for the group in terms of being prepared. They probably bothered to level CUL to 50. If not, someone (maybe you, the reader) should take the initiative. This is assuming you'd rather not spend the gil on the boards to buy it.

Given that food isn't important/dire in most situations, it's already a point against the craft. Why would anyone bother if all you need is a stack to last you well over several months? Market becomes flooded with lack of sales, prices go down, and while it's a win for the consumer, it's a significant hit to the crafter. You know, the people who bother to make the food you seek.

Food is far from insignificant when it gives 22 crit, some vitality and accuracy. Just like low level gear is insignificant at max lvl so is low lvl food. People who want to play at the top of their game can't overlook the benefits of staying well fed when raiding.
