16 Sep 2022

Hello ether addict class, Black Mages! Or at least those Thaumaturge guild leaders.

Do you know that you need more than ether so you can bring the best Black mages you can be! Black Mage relies most on your GCD. The shorter the GCD, the better, but always choose BiS that makes you most comfortable.

5. Coconut Cod Chowder (iLevel 545)

A Near Eastern soup, brimming with shallows cod simmered in silky coconut milk.

Let’s start with the cheapest option. Coconut Cod Chowder is affordable and resembles the number one highest status for your BiS. If you are not running the highest content, this is your best bet! You can get it from the Market Board or by crafting.

The NQ status effects:

Determination +8% (Max 61)
Vitality +8% (Max 66)
Critical Hit +8% (Max 37)

The HQ status effects:

Determination +10% (Max 76)
Vitality +10% (Max 82)
Critical Hit +10% (Max 46)

4. Pumpkin Potage (iLevel 580)

A creamy soup that highlights the rich and nutty flavor of the giant pumpkin.

Pumpkin Potage is for running the 6.0 contents; it is great but not currently the highest status bonus giver. It is a bit more expensive than Coconut Cod Chowder, but if you are running those contents, you may want to bring some. You can always get them from the Market Board or through Culinarians.

1. Carrot Pudding (iLevel 610)

To freeze, shred, steam, and bake carrots into this smooth pudding requires both time and skill, but the mouthwatering results are well worth the effort.

This one is for the 2.32 GCD; to compensate for a slower GCD, you will need more damage you can get. It is suitable for the latest contents, and you can get this simply by crafting with a Culinarian or the Market Board.
