I'd have to say that as a Hume redmage, this has got to be the best food on the market for red mages in an xp situation. I'd gladly take the 2 less mp from sweet rice cake, in exchange for an additional 3 MND.
71 Cook (at the time) had enough ingredients for 2 stacks, made 1 stack of HQ and 1 stack of NQ, perfect 50% HQ since I am more than 51 over the cap thats what you can expect.
These currently sell for 30k/stack @ Sylph^^ I'm lvl54 cooking right now, and hoping to make some profit out of them.
These happen to be one of the best WHM food in the game but I also like using Goblin Mushpot which lasts 3 hours and gives +10MND(GMushpot is not a good BRD-BST food because it lowers ur CHR -5)
I use these all the time for lvling my mages. I recently noticed that my mp regeneration for my lvl 12 whm started at 15, then would do 16, 17, 18, etc. So my MP regeneration without the witchkabob is 12 MP, and it doesn't ever increase. But with the witchkabob, it starts at 15, and adds 1 to each each time. Just thought I would share my findings.
what level do you would you start craftig these a prtty good rate? I am level 49 and I craft them ocasionally but mostly never get these i will get 2-4 out of a stack of matereials.
Follow normal HQ rules- 30 levels above cap for best results Face direction away from cyrstal (Fire=NW, Water=W) Snyth on new moon of opposite cyrstal Day 0% moon on watersday
at this time I'm level 76 in cooking on caitsith server and i tried to make these today. I made these 8/12 times. I'm sorry didn't look at the time of day or the day for that matter that i made these. However that should give you an idea of what level you can be to make these 2/3 of the time. And witch kabobs are selling for 25k on my server atm.
Actually the witch kabob is better than the wizard cookie....
Kabob: MP+15, MP regen while healing+1, MND+4 Cookie: MP+12, MP regen while healing+1 **(Both last for 60 min.)
Here's a little more info on the HQ rate. I'm currently a lv 80 cook and I attempted 14 of these synths. I started on lightsday, only did two on thast day, but I finished on darksday. The moon was in the waxing gibous phase (around 83%) Out of the 14 attempts I made 11 kabobs. I was also facing west for each of these attempts. **I used all three types of shrooms for these: 22 sleep, 4 woozy, and 2 dance.
Results: I used enough materials to make 1 full stack. I was using sleepshrooms as well. out of the 12 attempts I failed 1 time, HQ'd 5 times, and that leaves 6 NQ synths.
Since all cap at 16, it probably doesn't make any difference at all.
Once your cooking skill is high enough(usually around 30+levels above cap, or 46 in this case), your chance for HQ will reach about 50% and after that it levels off fast or stops growing entirely.
2 posts below show high level cooks still getting 50-60%.
