Any new WHM food?Follow

I've just come back from a break on the game...was wondering if there are any new foods that are good for WHM. I know foods aren't really "needed" anymore but I still want to use them, I use to just go with basic +MND -Enmity food, wondering if there's anything along those lines.

Yeah I always use Mushroom Stew...was hoping there'd be something newer! Sometimes there is no stew on AH so I'll use Brain Stew...but I was hoping to find maybe a conserve MP food or something along those lines. Anyone know of anything?

That's a lot of meds!

Next time you run out of poison potions, you might buy elshimo pachira fruit instead. Much cheaper.

However, I disagree that WHM shouldn't carry Remedy. I carry a stack of Remedies at all times in my mog sack. It's rare to need them, but sometimes I do, like if a Bad Breath type ability hits me. I don't want to spam Echo Drops until one works, then spam Paralyna on myself til that works, then worry about other people. I want my ailments gone so I can focus on other people. That's where Remedy comes in. I agree on Remedy Ointments though, they only remove one at a time so that's pointless. You can do the same with spells, if not better thanks to Esuna.

I also tend to carry around a Vile Elixir & Pro-Ether +3, although I haven't used either in what feels like several years now. The Viles are great, but if you're weakened they aren't so great. That's where Pro-Ether comes in, although they do leave you medicated for a while.

Remedys and a emergency RR item are a good idea, thanks guys. I usually bring echos, wizard cookies (In aby my stats are floored. So hmp is all that helps) if it's aby or deathy situation and stew if it isn't for the -enm. (Like most whms I don't have as much -emn as I used to, so that can save my bacon.) and that's about it..for bcs I bring the medicine cabinet. (AKA. the Mean BC Kit which is a real wheelbarrow fulla meds; if people want to know what that is I'll list it out)

I'm kind of with Lyl on this one, never been in a situation where casting RR instead of using an item was a significant detriment. If I get up from death I usually have a good 600 MP or so when I get up. It's enough for Reraise and all the Raises my weakened recast timers will let me use. On the other hand, if you end up in zombie situations a lot, I could see it being useful. If you die multiple times in a row, you could be getting up with not much MP. Depends on the strategies employed by your LS probably. If they wipe a lot, I could see wanting RR items. Or finding people who don't die so often...


If you're getting doomed enough on WHM that you need more than a couple holy waters, I'm sorry but you may want to re-think your approach. If the WHM is spending time spamming holy waters it means they aren't spamming Cursna on the other people who are doomed. Basically you're looking after yourself instead of your group. Yes they should have their own holy waters, but those don't always work.

I absolutely do not recast Boost/Auspice on mobs with an AOE Doom move unless they get staggered or something, and you shouldn't either. Barspells are quick and you should be able to run in right after a TP move, do it, and get out safely. (How many mobs even have a true AOE Doom move anyway? Not many.)

Even if I didn't have Yagrush, if I was doomed and other people were doomed, I would probably spam Cursna on other people rather than holy waters on myself. WHM being weakened has much less impact than DD being weakened. I'll jump on that grenade for the greater good.


Vile Elixir has no casting lockout and almost no use time. They're nearly instantaneous. Including the time it takes to locate in your inventory and use, they take you away from casting for about 2 seconds. Considering the only time you'd use one is when you're out of MP anyway and couldn't do anything except rest, I'd say it's a pretty sweet item to have around even if you never need it. Better to have and not need, than to need and not have. I can't remember the last time I used a Vile, probably over a year now, but I still carry one everywhere.

I prefer Goblin Mushpots, costs 1k from goblin in lower jeuno and lasts 3 hours:
Mind +10
Charisma -5
Resist Poison
Resist Blind
