Thread: 2.1 and Cooking

How are us Culinarians expected to continue to make decent profits when the demand for food is going to plummet due to food effects persisting through death? I understand that the end user of the food will be happy with this as it saves their wallet, but it surely will hurt mine.

Or we could flip the perspective and think that people will be using food more often now that there's no risk of prematurely losing your buffs due to a sudden case of death.

I used to avidly cook food and use it regularly, but after having a hundred too many wipes on random bits of dungeons and primals, I've more or less stopped using the stuff entirely. Drinking some Pineapple Juice and then having a Paladin pull the first four packs of Wandering Palace without Shield Oath active, then not using a single cooldown and losing aggro after the first Cure II cast (not that I'd be able to heal that <_<) begins hurting my Pineapple and Cluster supply.

I personally plan to use food more often with the next patch, at least. Sure, I'll end up using lower quantities than I did on the fateful Titan groups I ended up helping, but hey.

Fair enough..I guess we will have to see how it works out :P

It should at least be balanced out by PvP being a thing, if not a net gain in number of sales.

Now only if they fixed Two-Star Food................

sssshhhhhh... there are still stupid people out there buying it, don't let them know that they get higher stats from lower level food.

I took up culinarian to make gil, and I don't see that changing since it's still consumable and does wear off eventually. I am also of the mind set that sales will either go up or stay the same as they are now due to people actually wanting to use it instead of having to reapply it every 5 minutes.
