I made a 4 stacks of these (1 stack ingrediants) today. I started with Cooking 95 / Alchemy 10 but alchemy quickly leveled to 11 for cap. I didn't get any HQ and was dissapointed because i am 33 level above that cap. Would it help if my alchemy were higher? Please reply. Thanks
One of them is "key" item. Used to purchase with guild points.

crude forgo to put in my statement. I counted how many ingridients it took to make this version of Gelato...umm why does it take 9 things????? when you only have enough room in your synth grid for 8 things?
Because one is a key item which is just there but not used also you can actually use 9 materials including the crystal which may be what got you confused once you use a crystal it opens up those 8 grids for other materials so basically the crystal doesnt count since you dont have to add it in the ingredients, though some synths do require a cluster in the actual ingredients to make a synth i believe the light/dark animas come to mind ^^b
hmmmm. Well Jeuno AH on fenrir (which is considered a fairer priced server) has(x12) them for 40-50k with a yeild of 4 from normal synth these yeild (x4) makes 4 stacks (no hq or failure) and sells for 6k each (72k stack x 4) minus the other items needed (are cheap and common) these are quite profitable when available and requested by guild. Other servers may vary but from my exp these are never in great enough supply, thus you could probably name your price from higher level cooks wanting to get GP. and stats from somepage are Type: Food Jobs: All Races: All Food Duration: 30 minutes Stackable: 12 Auction House Category: Food / Meals / Sweets Effects for Snoll Gelato: MP +16% (Cap: 75@468 Base MP) MP Regeneration While Healing +1
The Alchemy skill needed for this synth is lvl 11. That's the point where my Alchemy stopped skilling up and I continued to make 20 more synths afterward.
This item does not need to be at lv.85+ or lv.90 on cooking skill to make it
When I was Craftsman rank, the NPC for the GP requested a Snoll Gelato, in my opinion it in a range of lv.60-70 and Alchemists around lv.30-40 if this Snoll Gelato was lv.85+ the GP NPC will not request such an item when your like in craftsman rank.
I wish more people on Seraph would farm the snoll arms for this recipe. i would love to make this more often but as a WHM I really can't farm them. If anyone would like to sell them directly to me you can send me a /tell to Ovia on Seraph. They sell for around 1k a piece though I have seen them for more at times. I don't know what the drop rate is like on them though. The snoll arms do stack btw.

here's a suggestion for ya if you'd like to see more of them available, pay more for them. Even if the person at the AH is selling them for cheaper. Why? More incentive for people to farm them. They go for 3k now on my server, Valefor, which imo is still cheap, although they used to go for 1-1.5k. Only problem, at that low price, people don't want to farm them. Stacks of NQ gelato's go for 24k however, which is still very profitable, and HQ goes for 70k, which is really nice (not many other foods can you make that kind of profit). But if the farmers get more back for getting these prized lil' items, you're more likely to see them available more often. Even at 3k a peice and people farming them more than before, the demand for gelato's is still higher than the supply.
I just tested this, and as a 62 RDM/BLM, max mp went up +75, and mp regenerated +1. No INT or MND boosts, or any other stats for that matter. Good food for Summoners I would think.
Personally, I would love to make and sell this, as well as use it for myself on a regular basis. The problem I find is the lack of snoll arms because on my server they're rarely found up for sale in the AH. It seems that not many people find it worth their time to farm these, or those that do farm them, simply use the arms to create their own gelato and never bother to sell it.
It should be noted this item has recently changed with the rest of the food update. The MP it gives is now a %, no clue what that calculation is, but at level 75 WHM this gives 75 MP. Sadly, my cooking is only 47 atm so I have to work on it to be able to make these, but this is the ideal WHM/SMN food now, for high level WHMs/SMNs at least since that is a percent of MP gained (a level 10 WHM might get 5 MP). Only difficulty with this food is the rarity of snoll arms... Luckily my SMN can farm them, if I avoid the EP tigers ; ;
At lvl 68 i had alot of breaks when making these. If your having problems locating the Snoll Arm in the ah its because you will find it under Ammo. :) Going rate for them at moment on garuda is 800 a piece. They last 30 minutes and the rare of these lasts 60 min.
I bought for 1k each (yeild may be 2 or 4? pc bazaar selling in multiples of 2 or 4)
Sub-Zero Gelato duration 1 hour +10 MP +2 MND +2 INT +2 MP while healing (tested on taru as best I could, heh look at its descrip) fame 7 sells for 896g to windy npc couldn't sell to guild

I can't think of a better food for WHM or SMN. The MP boost is outrageously high. I ate one as a WHM31/BLM15 and got +70MP!!! I didn't look at stats or MP per tick, sorry. Will have to check that out next time.
