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

[Ryihito]

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.

An example; the later coil raids are recommended to have a certain amount of accuracy so they you can actually hit the bosses. Let's say that the recommended is 490 accuracy and you have 477. While you will likely hit on most (or all) of your attacks, there is a chance that you actually CAN miss which would lower your DPS considerably. Now you eat food that boosts your accuracy by 13 to get the recommended 490 so you will not miss...that seems to be a game changer to me.

Anything to maximize your potention doesn't seem like a waste to me. if you wanted food for just XP, there's lots of other food that offers just XP and no stat bonuses.

Yeah I know how it works. I wouldn't be giving advice if I didn't.

If you NEED food to reach a minimum limit then you are undergeared anyway.

How does needing food mean you're undergeared? You must have started coil in 2.2 not 2.0.

...Any little boost can go a long way.

You remind me of this White Mage I had in Brayflox Hard mode...Who was in AF and all Lv30 intelligence accessories and belt. And then told me 20+ extra mind really doesn't make much of a difference. Meanwhile I was running out of MP as a bard keeping the WHM's MP up because their cures did absolutely nothing and we were unable to do any kind of "Speed run" tactics because he could hardly keep up with the tank having 2 mobs.

That's nice.

And that WHM is an idiot, how could you compare me to him when all I've implied is that getting better gear is better than relying on food? Have some reading comprehension, man.

Oh and before you assume I'm against using Food, I use Food all the time for those "little boosts", all I'm saying it's >NOT NEEDED<. That small boost is nice, but there's not much of a difference.

How's it like running turn 1 with item level 100 gears to get item level 90?
OP, Urth explains it pretty well. It's not hard to understand as you thought it to be.

whats wierd about this is for example the Tank T1 chest has more acc then the ilvl100 @.@; i dont know why SE would do something like that.

You shouldn't look at accuracy as a judgement stats for tank gears. It's secondary stats. I100 has more strength, more vitality and more defenses than i90 and that's what you should be looking at. Higher item level doesn't mean higher secondary stats since those stats might not be at cap.

well he did say for min/maxing

the whole point of minmaxing is to be the best you can, even if its going from 98% efficiency to 99%, its a difference that some people enjoy
