All I want is to be able to quiver higher level post-40 arrows...why SE? WHYYY!!!

I was using watermelons for the 4+ int bonus but now i have to resort to buying pies.. They just further ruined the game.
Umm, hate to say it, but you being elvaan and all you should be eating pies for the mp boost anyway. Or even +1 pies for the mp regen plus while healing.
Anyways, I'm really excited about the whole snack food thing!
And that sucks about not being able to quiver post 40 arrows Trizz. I didn't know that, well when we go out for the static, if you need me to lug some around I will.

When Wintaru said "flat rate" I think he meant a fixed percentage rather than a fixed amount of gil. So, rather than 10% on a stack of crystals and 0.01% on an amemet skin, maybe 2% for everything.
Wow, you said this over a week ago and were so close! Nice thinking!
/em runs and hides

OMG bastards at SE changed the amount of time of fruits and vegatable eaten to 5 mins from 30 mins.. why the F they do that. Those bastards... I was using watermelons for the 4+ int bonus but now i have to resort to buying pies.. They just further ruined the game.
Are you kidding me? You're a 56 Elvaan BLM trying to keep from eating pies? Melon pies (same +4 INT as watermelons and +25MP as well) go for like 4.5K a stack. Considering you get 30 minutes per pie, that's 6 hrs of effects from the pie. A grand total of 750gil/hour for +4 INT and +25 MP. {Yes, please.}
Ruined the game???
To respond to the two mages that were flaming me about an extra 25 to 30mp i would get from pies vs the watermelons.. if find that getting a stack of watermelons for 2.1k vs 4.5k more economical for the same INT boost. At level 56, you usually have parties which have refresh or some type of mana regeneration. I hardly ever at empty mp at the end of one battle and if u are in parties like that then you are just wasting your time. i see wasting an extra 2k for a 25mp boost as a waste of money. If i was a summoner or whm (which actually mushroom kabobs are better for than pies) then sure a small mp boost my throw a cure 2 the tank's way. So now i gotta waste more money like you idiots did.

It's okay, most people don't like exp chains anyway. Also, think of the links, oh noez!!11

See above.

If you party with your whm sub, you are still required to be emergency back up healer, unless of course you're too uber a blm to cure anyone.

Idiot? Why? For being the best possible mage I can be? For thinking of my party before my wallet? For wanting to burst ancient magic more than once in an exp chain?
Rated down for ignorance.

Rate down for your ignorance!!!!.. i don't know a single party that does not like experience chains where have u been... I don't see how having 30 extra mp will save your party! You get the same INT from watermelons as from the high end pies.. iam still being an effective blm but i just don't have 30 mp. wow
OpoOpo crown owner now have to eat a banana once every five min instead of 30. So much for it being a pie replacement. Eating food once every 3 mobs does sound a bit annoying. No more Opo Crown being the poor man's serket ring/monster signa/Cassie Earing.
Wow yes.. I forgot about that crown.. well theres goes me trying to quest that too.. cuz that quest is long

He was being sarcastic about the experience chains. You said you were hardly ever out of MP after one battle, and there's no way you should ever be (barring adds, but that's not really one battle). Chain 4 or 5 is a different story.
You don't know how 30MP could save your party? Really? Cure II, Erase, Poisona, Silence, Silena for healer or RDM....pretty much any WHM spell in your spell inventory.
Nobody's saying you're bring ineffective. I think the implication was that for a mere 2K for every 6 hours (well...ignoring the recent seemingly accidental reduction of pie duration) of leveling, you can be more effective.
Okay im really confused. I logged on to found out that my apple pies only work for like 10 mins now? I cannot use those now because I play bst and eating a pie every few battles will now work out. Can someone tell me what SE did and why?
I think they just screwed up, I HOPE they just screwed up, I got a stack of pies in my mh for when I level my sub. It would suck if the whole stack only lasted an hour.
Incidentally I have read elsewhere in these here forums that apple pies were the only ones messed with and their effective time was cut to five minutes ><
Please SE, mistake, practical joke, overzealous code writers, or whatever, fix my yummy apple pies!!!!

I'm hearing different stories. Some say that apple pies are considered snacks, so their duration is 3 minutes and they now suck. Others are saying that the yield on an apple pie synth will be increased to 12 pies, which would still suck.
Personally, I think it's a fluke. I think SE altered the duration on apple pies accidentally and will change it back over the next couple of days.
If it wasn't a fluke, then apple pies become less reasonable than Rolanberry Pies. They're both stackable. Rolanberry pies only cost a few thousand gil per hour (1500gil per pie, or am I wrong?) while apple pies will run you around 5K/hr. I'll take Rolanberry Pie's stats over apple pie's, thanks.

Oh, really? I figured all the reports were coming in on apple pies because they're cheap and people are thrifty. XD
Thank goodness I'm a melon pie junkie! ^_^

Erm, never fu[b][/b]cking mind. ><
It was my hopes that snack foods would be stackable on top of regular foods. I tried this last night and it definately does not work. Oh well, there's for wishful thinking.
And Dryhus, that's exactly what I'm talking about.
And DaPerfectKill, watermelons also offer the wonderful -6 agility, a stat for everyone to be pround of!
Agility.. what does a blm need agility for? anyways.. I now have to buy pies and i guess i will avoid apples seeing they last now for 10 mins glitched.
