Hello Higginsis,

I'm not a Chef, but a combat char!

After throughly testing I come to the conclusion:

- Vegaparsine (Melee Def Food)
- Elshandruu Pica Thundercloud (Ranged Def Food)

Does not work at all! By working I don't mean the numbers which are added correctyl to the Ranged/Melee Def in "crtl + c". By working I mean there is NO, I repeat NO, damage reduction at all in combat log!

I tried both pve/pvp, lowlvl/highlvl char, without/witharmor armor, you name it.

It simply doesn't work at all!

Thank you in advance,
Jitt

they dont work ...ive tested them myself ...ive seen tests from other players and they simply do not work ...

The thing that most players dont understand is .. and heres a little secret ...

Shhh ..( its not that the foods dont work , its that melee / ranged defense DONT WORK ) ..these defenses weather or aquired from food / clothing /sea's / or proffesions ... are not working ...As the modifier for damage is as basic as Attackers CL vs Defenders CL ) their is no primary defense or secondary defense currently in game ..

/sigh

It really is a shame how illiterate people are. It would seem that if they cuold read, they would not make posts like this

Try unequipping and requipping your weapon once you have eaten the food, sometimes that is the cause to the food stats not sticking.

Heehee... almost as sad as not being able to spell the word "could". LOL... not flaming... just thought it was an ironic typo, seeing as how you were talking about illiterate people.

those foods dont mitigate dmg. they only make you harder to hit. They may reduce dmg by a small amount because your higher defenses push the dmg range of your attack closer to their minimum.

Buy yourself 2 +16 Melee/Ranged Def Clothes and go into combat. Tell me then if it still don't mitigate damage. I'll bet 500 Million, Ranged/Melee Def DOES mitigate damage!


So far, both of those food don't work!

Sorry but I can't agree with this. I do notice a difference if I have my 2 +16 Melee/Ranged Def. Clothes on or not. And I do notice a significant difference between: MCH/MCommandwo(CL80) with Ranged Def 70 and MBH/MRIFLE(CL80) with Ranged Def. 195 against ranged attacks! Wanna bet?

They know about it, they have done for months. This problems also extends to the BE/Tailor tissues not effecting, or having a large effect on combat.

I have no word on the intentionality of it.

After testing again, here's my conclusion:

Tested against CL78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 84, 86 with my CL80 both in pve and pvp!

Vegaparsine -> not working, even not if I unequipp and equipp my weapon
Thundercloud -> not working, even not if I unequipp and equipp my weapon
+25 BE Clothes -> not working, even not if I unequipp and equipp the clothes
CA/AA -> can't say anything because I don't have it!

But, what definitly IS working if you gain melee/ranged def trough your combat skills. Any artificial boost (food, ca, aa, be clothes) don't work!

Since when is this bug around?
