Has anyone firgured out the diffrences between then yet? Such as Elshena/Saltena or the other two.
Iv heard many theories suchs as job lvl, above or below certin skill lvls, offencive skill vs defencive skills. Has anyone actuly tested them out and found out the real diffrence?

Skill up foods
Saltena is definitely offensive weapon skill up food. I am using it atm on my mule to skill up Axe, and it makes a very noticeable difference. I don't have the coveted data to show the difference in rate, but just eyeballing it I get skill ups A LOT more often when I have eaten this. His skill level is about 255 now. I am unaware of anyone posting data about skill level being a factor on this food, but it wouldn't surprise me. I have a friend who is skilling up above 330 and says this food doesn't help him get skill ups. Might just be his bad luck though, I haven't tried it on higher level weapon skills of my own yet.
In my experience Saltena does little to nothing @250+ skill. Elshena seems to do a lot better.
The general consensus seems to be that Saltena 0-170, and Elshena 170~.

don't forget about kitron macaron (success rate+, skill up rate +, HQ rate -) and coconut rusk (success rate-, skillup rate -, HQ rate+)!

Did a bunch of crafting yesterday... Asura.Antaress said: » don't forget about kitron macaron (success rate+, skill up rate +, HQ rate -) and coconut rusk (success rate-, skillup rate -, HQ rate+)! Would that effect fishing at all? Bahamut.Krizz said: » Asura.Antaress said: » don't forget about kitron macaron (success rate+, skill up rate +, HQ rate -) and coconut rusk (success rate-, skillup rate -, HQ rate+)! Your telling me.. been trying to finish my last subcraft and only reasonable synth was a 10lvl gap. And since its a sub i havnt gotten +1 equips yet. Somthing like this might actuly help some' Kitrons/Rusks help reduce the number of breaks when you're synthing. Doesn't help fishing whatsoever i'm afraid ; ;
Saddens me also as i'm working on fishing myself.... when i can be bothered. well.. Between lightsday, diretion, adv sup, artisans advantage, and this food, my sythns wernt half bad lol. And got up to 58.5 so far. So i love it'
I hadnt heard anyhting about food for crafting before.. how did that manage to slip past me? It wasnt the info i was looking for when i started the thread, but probably the best info i could get lol. Now im seeing Montagna skill up food... whats the diffrence between this is and the regular skill up foods?

I noticed a huge skill up decrease as compared to Elshena. for the people who have tried these foods can you put in your skill level and what you are skilling? Thanks.
Tried the Montagna yesterday skilling up Polearm. Went from 110 to 190 in about an hour. I was using quint spear which makes a bit of a difference for skill ups, but even so, the rate gain was more per hit than when I was skilling up dual wielded axes without food.

Enternius they kicked us out of party lol
let see.. how many have they introuced so far for skilling up...
elshena saltena stuffed pitaru poultry pitaru Montagna im sure i missed a few more... be annoying to test them all out alone, and ppl aint into updateing anymore :/ ohwell' Bahamut.Josseppi said: » Tried the Montagna yesterday skilling up Polearm.

Using quint spear i went from 116 skill to almost 300 in like 2 hours, doubt the food had anything to do with it. :P Saltena 0-170
Elshena 170-300 Montagna 300+ Bahamut.Josseppi said: » Tried the Montagna yesterday skilling up Polearm. Went from 110 to 190 in about an hour.

Erm, what job were you on? Your base combat skill rating is going to affect how often you receive skill ups. I saw a noticeable increase in skillup values using montagna to skillup shield from 320ish to cap. I also feel there was a rate increase that I saw more with my parry skill than shield. It only took 5 of them to cap shield though, so I am impressed.
My previous experiences with eleshena skillup food -even for club and greatsword, which are in the mid 200s- have been very poor. Personal testing, friends testing, gw people verifying. It is the way it is lol.
Bahamut.Josseppi said: » decrease? I worded it wrong; I meant that I noticed less skill ups with Mont than with Elshena. My parrying is 303 but I also have it merited... could be the reason. I'll test more once it hits "real" 300. inb4 "this is Sparta" and such.
I was on warrior, so I assume that skill ups per attack with axe would be more than with spear.
Poultry Pitaru gives MP+5%, Elshena gives HP+5% (maximum of 80). I do not know difference of the new foods
not a large test but i tried em a little bit on my Drk with great axe. Starting at 200.00 Each round was 30 min.
200-207.5 no food +7.5 207.5-217.5 saltena +10 217.6-223 elshena +5.4
