Seriously I enjoy using this food on drg, the attack bonus and defense bonus help my damage immensely even at lvl 72. Being 96 cooking I hq quite a few and I have to say for what it does this is a great synth all around. Using one of these in party drives my attk easily over 425, which as a mithra is pretty nice.
Actually, the Jeuno Tenshodo club sells Black Pepper in the back, next to the guy who sells Far Eastern sword. It goes for like 88gil a piece, so these steaks can be crafted cheaper than buying ingrediants off of the AH.
The cooking cap on this is 29. At 64 cooking I made quite a few HQ. Weird... I used this when I joined a party and 3 hours later it wore off. Nice stats for any Damage Dealer!
Dhalmel Steak sells 1k each on Ifrit but Wild Steak only sells for 1k also, maybe it needs to "catch on" ;-)
Sucks it takes black pepper, which is now 8k a stack since no one has had Elshimo Lowlands >.<
