Fixed HQ results and removed Chomo Jinjahl and Kopopo as I suspect this is one of those "only sold when someone sells to NPC" items. Please email if this is not the case. Added NPC buyback price.
.... one uses lizard eggs and one uses bird eggs, thats why there are 2 diferent ways to make the apple pies. in other recipies the lizard eggs also are a lower level than bird eggs for the same product
A lot of recipes have more than one way to make them.
In your case, make the one with lizard eggs since it is the easier recipe, then when you get to the 46-47 range, switch to the other recipe so you can keep getting skill ups all the way to 50
While this may be old news for some of you, I just wanted to say that I just did a couple of trials with apple pies to see if the recent nerf has been repaired. These results are from today. The first apple pie was in my inventory. The second was one that I purchased from the AH in Windy.
Summary The apple pies have been unnerfed.^^ Stats are as follows:
30 min duration of: +25mp, -1 agility, +3 int
The Experiment
First Apple Pie - Inventory
Consumed at 3.15pm
+25 MP, -1 agility, +3 intelligence
Expired at 3.45pm
Second Apple Pie - Recent purchase at AH
Consumed at 3.50pm
+25 MP, -1 agility, +3 intelligence
Expired at 4.20pm
While I should probably done one more test to be certain, I got bored.^^ Anyway. I hope this helps somebody out there.
this nerf of the apple pie BETTER be a mistake! i JUST bought 3 stacks the other day at the AH, and now they are worthless. if it's a mistake, let's get to fixin' it, huh boys?
Someone please tell me I'm wrong...I'm playing FF right now and I've eaten 2 pies in 2 battles.....did the patch make them last 5 min or something?? >.<
I am able to bake these now and there isn't much profit invovlved. Bazzar'in these in Selbina works well, like mithkabobs you make more money than you would at AH. That Cinnamon is expencive even at the Guild with tons of fame.
The guild sucks. I got a good quantity of cinnamon at the guild for 287, only 17 higher than a vendor. The next (game) day the guild price suddenly shot up to over 400. I'm a vendor shoper now :p (Not to mention the guild is always closed when I need it.)
how does one make apple pies +1? I asked a Japanese player and he told me that it required some alchemy skill. Was he right and how much alchemy skill is need? Is the chance to make apple pies +1 go up as your cooking skill goes up?[Orange[/O]range]
No you don't need alchemy skill, its just luck really. Also doing it on firesday improves your chances a lot. I got 1 +1 per 12 synths on firesday with these and with eel kabobs.
Actually according to many Japanese websites and others Alchemy skill does help with chances of HQ synths, The relationship is small but an Alchemy skill equal to or greater than the skill required for the cooking synth adds a 5% bonus to the chance of making HQ synths Approximately.
There are many aspects of the game that Japanese players know far more about than most north american players, for example thew effect of 3 fold weapon skill chains (Never scene a north american player pull one off the 1/2 sec window is brutal) and the eefect of rank and fame on combat ability (yes there are variables that effects both chance to hit and damage based upon those factors)
It gives +25 mp and some stat bonuses ... It's very helpful for (obviously) spellcasters and if used regularly when leveling can really help shorten downtime.
Piecrust is really pie dough. Also Lizard egg is called for but you can use a bird egg. Kinda like boiled egg where lizard egg seems to syntisize better than bird egg. Higher lvls it shouldn't matter.
