>> I thought green tea ice cream had a bit better pts restored to bu ratio, I could be wrong though.


I thought so, too. I used to carry tons of green tea ice cream.

Green tea Ice Cream is second best I believe (by just a little bit) and restores more per bite. One sec (checking maggies to validate my memory)...


HM Hot Kimchi burden/restore = 25/38 or .65

HM Green Tea Ice cream burden/restore = 40/55 or .72

Distilled mana potion: 150/120 or 1.25

Mana rations: 90/70 or 1.28


Another way to look at this, to restore 2090 mana takes:

2090/38 or 55 Kimchis with a total burden of 55*27 or 1485 burden units

2090/55 or 38 Ice creams with a total burden of 38*40 or 1520 burden units

2090/120 or 17.4 Distilled potions with a burden of 17.4*150 or 2610 burden units

2090/70 or 29.9 Mana rations with a burden of 29.9*90 or 2691 burden units


Hot Kimchi has the best ratio, but does not restore as much per byte. Distilled potions are better than rations, but are a quest item so not as easy to get.


It is easier to make kimchi than ice cream as all the food ingredients are available over the counter in Baishi and doesn't require any long runs to find magic Iceballs.


For automated buffing, if I had cooking, I would always use Dried mana rations, making rations as needed.


Without cooking I would carry Hot Kimchi if burden is an issue. If it isn't I'd carry distilled mana potions or Mana rations. I wouldn't carry Ice Cream because it is not as good as Kimchi (restore per bite doesn't matter when automated) and it is much more difficult to make.

I have cooking on my sword guy, and use elaberate rations for stam. But lifetank doesn't seem to like rations for recharging, and without life I can't seem to get Allinco to buff him. I know I'm a bit dense but I don't see any pluging that has buffing that like a char that has no life.


The stein let me just keep stam rations around instead of both mana rations and stam...eltank did a good job of using it in the buff cycle and recharging stam with the rations.


Still on my quest to find something melee friendly...

Ok...any buffing program that uses mana rations out there?...still looking. Looked at Robobuff, Buffme, Alinco, and LTx...still no luck.
