food

[Bags]

I tried running a search but couldn't come up with any results =(
I was wondering what food was best for a taru whm. I'm only lvl 6 but any information will help.
Thanks in advance

Hmm, I don't really know any good low level food but you can make Orange Juice with 1 water crystal and 4 oranges from WWaters (cost 50gil each for me I think). This will get you out of a pinch but I think it's generally too early for food at level 6.

Edit: 4 oranges

Roast Mushroom gives you +3 MND, useful for a WHM.

Pineapple juice is always good for mp regen. So are all of the pies that give +mp. I'd use these over +mnd food anyday.

At level 6 you will be soloing, at least I was. You also probably won't have much money so some foods won't be very practical so check your AH for prices.

To boost your melee damage and attack:
Grilled Hare: +3 STR -1 INT
Roast Mutton: +3 STR -1 INT +14.5% to ATK
Dried Meat: +1 STR +10% to ATK
Meat Jerky: +1 STR +9.8% to ATK
Meat Mithkabob: +5 STR -1 VIT +2 AGI -1 INT +14% to ATK (?)

To boost HP and MP:
Hard Boiled Egg: HP+8 MP+8
Roast Mushroom: MP 10 -1 STR +3 MND
Mushroom Soup: HP+6 MP+10 +3 MND -1 STR

To regain MP:
Orange Juice: 20 MP (1 MP every 3 secs for 60 secs)
Apple Juice: 45 MP (1 MP every 3 secs for 135 secs)
Pineapple Juice: 80 MP (1 MP every 3 secs for 240 secs)

There are others but these should get you started

roast mushrooms also the increase the rate at which you gain back MP when you heal

Apple pie gives you +25 mp + 3 int with a -1 to strength (iffy on the strength)

One of the best food is Pumkin Pie. Gives a few bonus to MND an INT but it also gives +40 MP. Its quite expensive, I doubt a new player cana fford this kind of food.

There's a good thread on food effects here.

Roast Mushroom MP +10, HM +2, Str -1, Mnd +3
BBQ mushrooms MP +10, Str -1, Mnd +3, MP regen sitting +2 a tick

These sound like the same item to me... HM+2 is the same as MP regen while resting +2. Could it be a translation difference only? I don't recall seeing "BBQ Mushroom" in-game, but lots of Roast Mushrooms. There's an HQ of Roast Mushrooms as well.

Roast Mushrooms are pretty much the ultimate WHM food. They are about 300-400 gil apiece.

Also, if you think mushrooms are overkill at lower levels (and they are), try Bubble Chocolate, which is MP Regen +1 per tick for 30 minutes. It's only about 100 gil apiece, so it might be good to try when you level in Valkurm/Buburimu or Qufim.

now that's a waste... just go kill a bee, get honey and eat it. does the same thing

You'd think it would be... except honey costs more than bubble chocolate by about 50 gil a piece. On Phoenix anyway. It's a quest item in Windy and Sandoria after all. So even if I get honey from bees, I'd rather sell it. Between honey and beehive chips, bees are good money.

honey sells for the 1k/stack on Fenrir and is much easier to get.. you can one shot bees and they drop it fairly frequently

Do you guys know how to make the pies, like apple pie and what level you need to be?
