If you have played FFXIV for a long time, you must know that food is quite important in FFXIV. Haha, this is a guide based on my experience. If you want to why food is important and how to get food in game, this guide is definitely helpful for you!
1.Why is food so important?
Food can be used to boost various of stats. You can use food for attribute boosts, for example, VIT, PIE, DEX, MND and so on. Besides, you can use it to look for boosts of Control, Attack, Perception, MP/HP, and so on.
When you use food, you can get +5 whatever stat the food enhances. Though, it is not special, you will find surprise if you hold on to your siky Thor undies! Since as long as you use food properly, you will get nice bonus from it. If you can use food in the most suitable way, you will get up to about +7.4% of what the food enhances.
Then you may ask what are bonuses? Have you ever receive messages like “eats a —– and finds it to be divine (delicious/tasty)” when you ate something?, If yes, haha, congratulations! You get the bonuses. Below is the bonus list for different messages you get from eating food.
“well fed”offers no bonus.
“Tastes tasty” offers +3% to the stat
“Tastes delicious” offers +5.4% to the stat
“Tastes divine” offers +7.4% to the stat
2.How can I receive the bonus?
A fact you should know is that food has a favored optimal level like equipment does. So if you do your equipment, you should pay attention to this. Besides, you have to utilize your points in order to get the food bonus. Any raw food and dish has a favored rank, attribute and element. You have to use the right amount of points for these raw food if you want to get the full bonus from it.
