I hope you are doing fine!

[@NagaTales]

If you /really/ want to be a skinflint and save exactly one more gil per food item, you can buy Mineral Water from the "Tradecraft Supplier" NPCs in ARR cities for 4 gil each. Mineral Water has no stats at all, but still comes with the 3% buff. I keep a healthy stack of them on my characters, so they're always well hydrated xD

[@EverydayEorzean]

XD this is perfect. Hydrating and money saving.

There is only one meal and it's mustard eggs lol jk. Awesome video!! I will definitely use this guide when I give healing a go after Endwalker.

[@stoicraziel6272]

Why did she stop making videos? That's a shame, those were really endearing

[@toastee5421]

what happened?

[@Spee33]

Awh :(. What happened to the channel? I really enjoyed your videos.

[@magimastr1]

I've loved every video so far that you've made! I'm definitely getting value from my Subscription. One thing for sprouts to note: Direct Hit only affects things that deal damage. You cannot land a Direct Hit on a heal (You can however land a Critical Hit, so Critical Hit stat still applies to heals). This doesn't mean Direct Hit is useless for healers since you should still be DPSing, but if you're trying to increase your heals, this isn't the stat for you. Also another great thing to know between Determination and Critical Hit. Both Stats apply to both your DPS and you heals, however the boost from Determination is applied to every spell you cast while critical hits only have a chance to activate. (The more Critical Hit stat you have the higher the chance). So you're choosing between occasional BIG HEALZ and heals that are only subtly but consistently better.

I always go with raisins for leveling. I make them from grapes. The grapes are 4 gil each, and each grape gives me 3 raisins. Can be even cheaper if you gather a bunch at once instead of buying. The recipe is level 3 so anybody can make them. Of course you also have to consider the cost of the fire shards, but I never seem to have to buy or gather them.

[@EverydayEorzean]

Perfect for the crafters out there!!

[@NesquickCoffee]

this is what i use personally, especially since i usually play casters and it gives the slightest boost to spell speed.

[@Machinasurge]

thanks for the tutorial! :D this'll help me get a better grasp on food

[@LEWIS1992]

This was a really high-quality, professionally made video. I'm new here - why don't you have more subs? :O

[@pumpkinpie5586]

your videos are so soothing

[@moonstone9292]

Awesome video as always Talli

[@EverydayEorzean]

Thank you , Moonstone!!!!

[@ReiTsukinoVT]

I only discovered the 3% buff when I had to get a bunch of pears for a botany quest xD Now I'm using those to help level crafters and alt jobs xD. Botany is a great way to get that EXP food buff and make a couple of gil here and there :)

[@EverydayEorzean]

Someone else mentioned the pears!!!! I may need a part 2.~

[@GhostNappa2k10]

I should have just waited for this video before levelling my white mage, I just hit 80 20 minutes ago 😅

[@EverydayEorzean]

Congrats on 80!!!!!

[@JShadow007]

This reminder came just in time for my road to 70 buff to disappear for my alt jobs. Great video, Talli!

[@EverydayEorzean]

Thank you!

[@swolusbovine8470]

This was so helpful with finding the perfect food stuffs to sell on the market thank you. I will have my unpaid intern deliver you a pineapple/potato fruit basket when I can.

[@kaidy12345]

now im hungry !! Great vid.

[@EverydayEorzean]

XD oh you have no idea the munchies on my desk while making this.

[@jamierose9095]

Critical Hit is doubly important for SCH since crit heals with Adloquim double the amount of shields granted. So for SCH, critical hit > anything else. Also I'm using Stuffed Highland Cabbage for food. 480iLvL Crit/Det/Vit, it's not the best healer food, but I made a huge stack of it so I'm eating it. It's slightly cheaper than iLvL 510 food and works just as well, IMO.

[@someonesomething297]

watching this while eating a caramel cinnamon roll

[@shadowsapphire100183]

Fun fact. If you're leveling and don't care about the stats at all, you can eat a harvested item for just the 3% exp boost. My go to is Mirror Apples since I'm raising Thanvarian Onions on the side.

[@EverydayEorzean]

Awesome tip!

[@Calancesy]

*purrs shy and huggles* meow meow

[@Joe-it2dh]

Lol I'm typically signing up for the Nier raids while munching on some raisins or marmot steak I bought for super cheap

[@EverydayEorzean]

XD It's so interesting to hear all the things people use as their 'go to food' I was chitchatting with another friend and they're like no no, no boiled eggs, orange juice!

[@Joe-it2dh]

In my defense 90% of my play time is grinding levels and I only do a few raids a week mostly just to gear farm. Counter to my defense though is a quarter of my inventory space is taken up by food items from MSQ rewards that I've never eaten because when leveling the only number that matters is that 3% exp buff. Though thanks to your guide I will start to take food more seriously atleast during those high-end raids. I even bought some HQ Smoked Chicken. PS I'm also pretty frugal as I am currently saving up money to buy a house during the land rush at EW release.

[@ScaricoOleoso]

0:50, you can keep eating. The bard backed up from the incoming attack. It won't hurt much. 🤓

[@JDoe-dh1mh]

Alligator pears are 1 gil each on the market board

[@EverydayEorzean]

Ahhh, wait how much do they sell for >>

[@KikumaruShinji]

Me and my 100+ stack of orange juices. XD

[@EverydayEorzean]

I mean if u had to choose between 100 glasses of orange juice vs 100 boiled eggs, orange juice would be tastier

[@jootoobersters]

i'm lazy and dumb, so i bought 80 orange juice for that one quest for glamour or something... i've been using that ever since and kept buying when it ran out, so cheap, so tasty, so acidic.. orange juice is the only way.

[@EverydayEorzean]

XD I'm seeing a lot of orange juice fans out there!!! lol Hey as long as you're getting the buff it doesn't matter what you're consuming!

[@nbtglen1607]

FIRST!!!

[@EverydayEorzean]

You are definitely winning the 'First' competition XD

[@Nylnezz]

what i learned from this is that healers love pineapple and potatoes got it

[@EverydayEorzean]

I mean lets be fair, who doesn't love potatoes?!

[@Raymond13557]

Never bother to buy any.
