I remember in 11, before all the new stuff came out, mages had to always carry ethers, yagudo drinks, ginger cookies etc. to make sure they could keep up with the MP consumption. Maybe cooking and alchemy will start to get some demand now... Just a thought.
Ethers have a huge cooldown for how little they restore. IMO they're only worth using just before you take a break from casting to kick start your MP regen. (Since sometimes it can take forever for it to start)
