No Love for Chefs

[Izariael]

Agreed on all fronts. What has been incredibly infuriating for me is that I can't even GIVE my food away to my own linkshell, much less sell it in the wards. Rarely do I go into my retainer and find gil awaiting me from some sold foods. Rarely.

Additionally, the food effects are a very complex system, as you've mentioned. Players aren't taking the time needed to lay everything out in a way that is easy and concise for the common player. And I sincerely thank the players who have tried!!! Another problem is when I offer my friends and linkshell members high-rank foods for their NM hunt, they often ask "What stats does it buff?" The only problem is, I DON'T EVEN KNOW. How can Culinarians be expected to produce demand for their foods if they can't find out what to advertise? At the very least, I'd like the developers to list the stats buffed by each food, because right now, its incredibly demoralizing trying to create foods that no one will consume. I'm hard-pressed to even give away creations like salt cod puffs, fish soup, shepherd's pie, and apple juice, which are rare, high-ranked foods that should be selling like hotcakes.

Even small fixes are steps in the right direction, so I plea to the developers to not leave Culinarian class to rot.

Not that it's really how I envisioned cooking, but you can take it directly to 50 via turning fish into sand. Take up that fishing pole as it's really the easiest way to do it. One fish per synth and no other mats required.

All other points I agree with.
