Mmm... Donuts... {drool}

Ok... Virtually every food has a known effect. Every single one. I don't know where it comes from (I'm assuming some kind of data mining), or how to get it (please let me know), but I find it maddening that no one knows what the donuts do. They're not hard to make, and it's not like the ingredients are terribly difficult to aquire, but why is this food the only new Aht Urghan food that we don't have a clue as to its use?

http://ffxi.somepage.com/itemdb/9008 says that at Lv1 it gives VIT+3, HP+16 and DEX-1.

Sounds a good food for monk when sharing tanking with a war in the dunes.

Ah yes... The somepage comments. New and useful, especially since half the stuff on somepage has either no "method of acquisition" or no stats.

I suppose that's kinda... boring. I was hoping for something donuttier I guess or more useful at higher level. If the HP thing is a % though, 16 is a lot for a level 1.

[Feenicks]

Well, we could always hope for an increase in gain as level goes up ... (not going to happen).

But another thing that somepage neglects to mention is the duration. It looks like a snack food to me, which implies that if its duration is 5 minutes then it's rubbish.

[Sabaron]

Well, they stack 12, not 99 like most snacks and it's listed under Breads & Rice, so I'm assuming it's more like a loaf of bread and lasts for 30 minutes like other 12-stack foods. I'm hoping it's % ramp--not that it would be useful anyway since HP foods are not really all that special. If it's a flat bonus then it's really not useful at all except maybe at very low-level when you're doing mage 1-10 with say a taru.

I think I would only use them if I came across some for free ...
