Hey folks, just throwing this out there since I finally got my CUL to 50 and started gearing it!

From now on I'll be making some delicious HQ foodstuffs for raiding usage. Most of us I believe either don't use food right now, or buy it off the MB. Anyhow, I'll be crafting the most often used raiding food and giving it to any of you guys for roughly half the MB price (which means I'd be about breaking even, so I can't go any cheaper than that). As it stands, that would be:

–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
non-★:

Buttons in a Blanket (HQ): 2500g
http://xivdb.com/?item/4694/Buttons-in-a-Blanket
- det +5% (max 16)
- vit +4% (max 15)
- crit +2% (max 10)

Stuffed Cabbage (HQ): 2200g
http://xivdb.com/?item/4664/Stuffed-Cabbage
- acc +5% (max 21)
- vit +4% (max 13)
- crit +2% (max 9)

This last one's mostly for if you can't hit the accuracy cap yet, as is for example the case for me (and Thoro's WAR, it seems like).

★★:

Black Truffle Risotto (HQ): 3800g
http://xivdb.com/?item/4695/Black-Truffle-Risotto
- det +5% (max 17)
- vit +5% (max 19)
- crit +2% (max 11)

Lava Toad Legs (HQ): 3400g
http://xivdb.com/?item/4665/Lava-Toad-Legs
- acc +5% (max 27)
- vit +5% (max 19)
- crit +2% (max 11)

Keep in mind these 2 star items only provide a minor bonus over their cheaper non-star alternatives, mostly vit, (and are, frankly, a pain in the ass to make and reliably HQ for me atm), so I'm not entirely sure they're worth their extra price. But hey, up to you, I can make them, so why not. Also let's all just ignore Arty for now, okay :o
–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

One full evening of raiding, a.k.a. let's say 2 x 90 minutes, would mean 6 servings for about 15000g in total if you pick the first choice. Up to you if you wanna spend that, but just know that it's not a bad offer at all, and you should be using food anyway, so I'd say go for it :)
I'm doing this as a favor btw, at these prices they won't net me much profit.

PS:
Also, I believe Thoro was thinking about doing the same, but for ALC. Meaning he'd be offering cheap pots to the folks not able of crafting them for themselves, or those who are too lazy to. Thoro's Tantalizing Thaumaturgic Takeout soon?

(PPS: Or if Kresh wants to fulfill that role, would be just as great of course. Let us know some prices!)

Bah, I wish I had a Level 50 ALC for this very purpose, I literally started it for just that purpose. :(

Still, glad to see you doing this Cer, with this and pots we should be fine.:D (Cer put's the 'Little' in 'Little Chef', pretty sure only Val and Kresh will understand that reference…I think :s)

Every bit helps, right? Be sure to do those daily tank roulettes so u can pay for it without going broke and having to sit next to Kyokoroon again :o

I'd give em for free but that would be too much of a wallet drain for me, lol.

My Alch is 50 and I make my own potions, can easily make for other people using same rules for costs.

I could always use a couple of MND pots I believe. Tested it out and in Cleric Stance they do indeed carry over to my INT directly :o

How much would they cost?

Sorry guys I've only just seen this (Light farming and TT is consuming my life) but as I said last night I use Flint Caviar HQ so until you can make these I just buy them lol. As for potions anyone who is able to craft some HQ X-Potions of Det and poison potions I'll buy those. Though I'm good right now as I must bought 99 of each so if anyone wants any I'll share them out.

Yeah I don't think I'll be crafting those 4 star foodstuffs anytime soon, unless I start melding some shit, and even then it'll barely be NQ stuff. Know those HQs are 40k per pop on the MB too so I didn't think anyone used those, lol. We kinda had a discussion about it and the consensus was that the 2 star stuff was too pricy already, lol.

I can only gawk at ur immeasurable riches :o
