The latest expansion of MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV, Dawntrail, has released its first set of Savage Raids as of patch 7.05. Thus, we take up our tools once again to prepare ourselves. There are all sorts of ways to boost performance in the field, but we cannot forget in all of the chaos to take care of our bodies.
Meals; items crafted by Culinarians that provide thirty minutes to an hour of bonuses to a selection of your stats. Now we have access to a new set of master recipes, let’s explore them and the best ones to consider for your upcoming battles.
12. Stuffed Peppers
Crafting Requirements: Level 99 Culinarian, ilvl 684
Starting off, we can’t forget and neglect the hard working disciples of the land, who brave the wilds for the ingredients needed in these dishes. These fresh bell peppers are cut in half and stuffed with spiced Alpaca meat, plus a few other toppings, then roasted to perfection.

10. Lobster Bisque
Crafting Requirements: Level 100 Culinarian, Master Culinarian Recipes XI, ilvl 710
A decent dish to slurp down in a pinch before pulling a pack of enemies. Because the main focus of this dish is to amp up tenacity, it is only really useful for tank based jobs. But, it’s still a benefit nonetheless.
This creamy soup is made by mixing vegetables and pureed lobster together in a simple blend. Because of the experience points, this one would make for a good choice while levelling through some of those rougher dungeons.

Another choice that’s only particularly useful for tanks, instead of pureeing the lobster we indulge it in its purest glory. It’s a lot more simple in its preparation. The lobster is boiled until sufficiently cooked, then seasoned lightly with lemon and salt.
This premium dish focuses more on some of the stats many prefer to prioritise, placing it just above the bisque in recommendation for your needs.

8. Cinnamon Cream Coffee
Crafting Requirements: Level 100 Culinarian, Master Culinarian Recipes XI, ilvl 710
Even healers need to relax; one might say they particularly need to most of all. There’s no better way to recharge your magicks than a quick coffee break. This bitter hot drink is sweetened by the cinnamon flavouring sprinkled into the mixture and over the whipped cream topping.
The focus on piety in this drink may only make it relevant to healer jobs, but like with the previously mentioned meals it’s a good one to sip between covering your friends in dangerous dungeon pulls.

If our healers out there need a snack to compliment their coffee, these biscuits are the ideal choice. The unique texture is made by soaking the kukuru chocolate dough in coffee, sprinkling sugar and baking until crispy.
