With the arrival of the Culinary Artist in NA Mabinogi, thus brings forth the new era... Of food!

I'm sure most, or all, of you had already gotten all prepp'd up for this event, and besides, with that 4 times skill EXP multiplier, along with the recent bloom of free 2 X Life Skill EXP potions, there is little excuse not to have at least ranked all 3 skills up to rank 1. With the recent addition of item drop, or food hunting and the changes in various recipes, which food item do you think works best with Catering?

What food, in your honest opinion, is the best in terms of status boost? Where do you hunt for the items you are looking for, and what is the true percentage of the process to make the food itself?

Personally, I've played around with some ridiculous combinations (10 X BnR for 500 instant HP, anyone?) and I've yet to find a perfect combination to boost both magic, range and melee damage. So, I'm here to help, not just myself, but anyone else that is interested in the art of prepping for a dungeon; something that I've done ages ago when mana is a scarce resource and that mages have to prepare mana potions before hand.

When you are replying to this thread, please state the food type that you are interested to try out, in which situation would you be testing the food out upon, what sort of buff would the food type provide, and of course, the difficulty in gathering and preparing the food itself for consumption.

In example:

In my opinion, it would be better if people were to have more HP to tank for raid bosses, like the White and Black dragons. Therefore it would be better to tank up the players by providing a 500 HP buff through catering. BnR suits this role perfectly, because most people are just blindly hitting the dragon rather than thinking it through.

Food Item: BnR
Cooking Method: Mixing
Required Ingredients: Leighean Gin (36%), Brifne Whiskey (37%), Ice (27%)
Status Boost: Max HP +49, STR +29, INT -11, DEX -11, LUCK +19

Total Status Boost: Max HP +490, STR +290, INT -110, DEX -110, LUCK +190

In the case where you have more than one food type to recommend, please use multiple food items lists to demonstrate your listing. Also, if you have a combination of two or more food items in a single catering dish, please state it clearly.

If your catering dish is currently set as a conceptual dish, feel free to post it up so I can make it ingame and put it to the test (Other than Dragon materials, of course :v).

Load up on luck food catering dishes, go to ep 5? final, and get huge luckies forever.

Might sacrifice some of the other stats, but if you pop a Jumbo Moon Cake Soup into the mix, if it's 4star it'll say +0 Prot (it's actually a fraction of 5star's 1 prot), you can have a Catering dish that gives +prot, and r1 Tasting can boost that by 10.

10 Prot from a dish, alongside other stats, isn't half bad.

Do you know how to make that? Perhaps, with some sort of ingredient list or item list to purchase or hunt for to get that particular dish?

Let me know when YOU get Catering the Free route. Both Tasting and Ingredient Finder are both at Rank 1, still haven't learned Catering yet.

For gunners I would highly recommend

10 Iced Cafe Mocha's
+30Int, +20Str, +30 Dex

Comes out to: +300Int, +200Str, +300Dex (In addition to +10 from r1 tasting)

That will add 104 to your gunner damage for 20 minutes! (Providing that it doesn't hit your int cap, so maybe less pending on your caps)

Of course that will require a decent amount of prep work to do.

Food Item: Iced Cafe Mocha
Ingredients: Cafe Mocha (60%), Whipping Cream (20%), Ice (10%)
Method: Mixing
Total Stat Boost: +300Int, +200Str, +300Dex (If 5 star)

Not surprising seeing as how both of those skills don't really require you to cook many dishes at all. But yeah, I'm wondering if it's about the same chances as, say, snapcast or elemental wave.

Yeah, it's that low. I got lucky with Snapcast, got that one quickly. Encore I never knew I had until about 2 weeks into Starlet. Ele Wave took forever, but I had finally got it after the event was over.

Getting fat isn't worth the extra damage, sorry.

Oh, touching a catering dish does not affect Hunger or Weight at all.

It just gives you stats.

Ranking Catering doesn't make you fat either. (Just buy chocolate from glenis and combine it into a dish)

Now... ranking TASTING.

That'll probably get ya really fat, lol.
Sure did for me.
JoseTheFro wrote on 2014-05-01 15:43

Hot chocolate 10x is probably one of the cheapest to make. Been using that the most. The BnR takes away too many stats.

I would like one that gave all that stats +150 or something (that isn't a dragon heart D:<)

I wonder if we can add a type of food like... oh, lets say, an Indigo Cotton Candy.

Would it work for Catering, and allow you to have Berserk status plus some other bonus stats for 20 minutes (considering Catering is rank 1)?
