Food...........

[RogueSpecter]

Explain how food works in this game like I'm a retarded 5yr. old! Because, I can't seem to grasp the concept of % vs MAX and caps..... I'm a bard who just wan't more DMG in Speed runs, so whats the best food for BF runs? Already use the best Coil food just need a suggestion about how the food works entirely and the best depending on dungeon/Primal ect...ect... Or is everything just linear?

Like would Deviled Eggs be good for the Crit, or would something lower in Max and Higher in % be better for my 86 Ilvl for the crit... Currently have 440 crit... When I use D.E. I go to 457, but is this the cap? Tried others, and got the same result with may'be higher VIT, or higher ACC...? What's the difference and why does SE make this so hard to understand -_-

On Brd Cric hit is where its at any of the egg dishes will do yes it does help geared or under geared. shouldn't matter you should use food anyway.

Food only provides a very minimum boost. it's only useful for the 3% EXP boost.

Let's say you have 100 Vit. If you got food that said "Vit +10% (Max 5)", then your Vit after will be 105, not 110, cos 5 is the max you can get from it.

Don't rely on food for stats, but if you really want to get food that increases both Crit and Determination.

What!? I think you're referring to low level food/character since this is posted on New Player Help, but as you can see OP is Bard 50 and asking about food and speed runs.
On topic, I feel it's that linear, but take this with a grain a salt since I'm not fond of theorycrafting. I guess you should use Black Truffle Risotto HQ. Anyways, you should get more accurate information posting on DPS roles forum.

What on Earth are you talking about? I gave him one of the main uses of food as well as advice. His level is irrelevant.

The main use of food is min/maxing your damage in raids... not exp boost...

Yeah that small boost is a total game changer, lol.

I think the other post over mine explains it clearly. [/Threat Closed]

If your gear is build around Det or Crit and just missing a bit of Acc to have the recomended you are not really undergear.
