Food Guide: How To Properly Digest

[Elea]

Thanks so much for your guide, Ele. I follow your Lodestone blog, too. Can I get clarification?:

Under "What foods favor what stats", you list

**Raw Foods**
STRENGTH - Meats
VITALITY - Grains, Mushrooms
DEXTERITY - Freshwater Fish, Saltwater Fish
INTELLIGENCE - Vegetables, Lamp Marimo
MIND - Eggs
PIETY - Fruits

Why is the format backwards from the foods right above those (stat first, then food)? Does this part just mean that there's no favored element stat for these types of foods?

Thats just how it was written out.

UMM...i recently saw a post by someone in a thread a long time ago from someone who did some data mining. Ill see if I can find the thread and post it somewhere. It had to do with what raw foods do and what gender/rank it effects. I havent tested it out yet so maybe you all can..

Had something to do with Roegwdn..galka things eating eggs and raw meats, mithra eating raw fish, females eating stuff like grains (idk why ..all the yeast is going to be bad one day LOL), males eating fruits (guess for sweetness :O lol) and some more stuff.

Another question.
Does getting the "divine" message actually increase the HP bonus of the food?
I tried the Knight's Bread with 148 VIT and 70 Wind and only got the "well fed" message.

As far as fish are concerned, my limited tests show that all fish give the same HP and the only way to increase it is to get a +1, +2, or +3 fish. Any help will be appreciated.

Also, as a 50 MRD I tried Ala Mhigan Fighting Fish +3 which is a rank 12 fish, and still got the well fed message with my dex int and mnd at 27 and all my elements at 21.
Are the stats based on the food or my rank?

HP does increase with food. Thats how people found out how much the percentage to the divine/delicous/tasty bonus was.
As for the Knight's Bread, your Wind should have been +/- 5 of 54. 70 would have been for your VIT.

The stats are based off of your food, not your rank.
Ill have to get back to you on that Ala Mhigan Fighting fish to see what went wrong for you.

The fact that I have to look into this much detail just to find out what food I should buy tells me that this whole thing is not worth the hassle. I look forward to the day that the effects are no longer dependant on so many different things.

Well Loony, theyre going to take out the physical levels and do different stuff with the ways points are allotted. Maybe you wont have to worry after this. /shrug....we'll just have to see later. for this reason, I havent been testing out anything anymore. Dont want it to be in vain :P

I wish this could be stickied. Or put in a "Guides" section. Thank you for your work on this ^^ It helps out a hungry adventurer to find the best dishes for them.

So how's that food working now? People seem to notice the changes in their stats and it's.. level based? Enlighten me, ye of knowledge!
