New Pet Jugs (5/7/2014)

Sorry to have kept you all waiting for pet jugs, but since we wanted to adjust pet jobs in large strokes we have been focusing on addressing the accuracy issues of pets by introducing new food. For the pet and master food this time, we have taken into consideration that pets cannot receive song effects so the effects on pets are quite large. We plan on continuing to add pet jugs in the future, but in the July update we first want to add HQ versions of jugs such as the Swirling Broth. With these you should be able to reach level 119 for pets even without the merit Beast Affinity.
First, please look forward to the food that will be coming in the May update.

This was taken from the FFXI Facebook Group and I suppose from the FFXI Official Forums.

Nice, I'm interested to see how this plays out. On the down side, instead of paying 200k a stack for Ibuki, we'll get to pay 500k a stack for HQ (maybe a lot more). :o

Greetings,
In addition to the new food items that are coming in the May version update that will boost stats for both master and pet, we are planning to make further adjustments for beastmaster moving forward. One of these adjustments will take place in the June version update and we will be adding an HQ version of Swirling Broth. With this adjustment, even if you do not have equipment with Beast Affinity, you will be able to achieve a pet level of 119 with Droopy Dortwin.
The May version update takes place this week, so be sure to try out the new food and let us know your feedback!

Just noticed this little gem in the upcoming June version update notes:

Quote:
Addition of high-quality items for "Salubrious Broth", "Fizzy Broth", "Spicy Broth", "Shimmering Broth", and "Swirling Broth."
Addition of pets for the above items

I'll be curious to see how HQ Ibuki parses.

How are those pets? Completely beat faithfull falcorr?
How are the expectations for hq jugs?

Just recently leveled bst and smn, so wondering what of those would be decent options with new gear for stuffs like adl, pw and odin ii.

Yeah, I've been looking for a reason to push Cooking past 100... This might just have done it.

Call me when they add real dd pets and stop removing beneficial/damaging/non-game-breaking monster abilities from our jug species. This will change nada imo; just a few quick gil for cooks like myself. i suppose it is time to exploit the "new" thing on the market on Monday "Shrugs"

Ibuki (The pink birdie) has -50% slashing damage resistance iirc, and all of the newer jugs cap higher than falcorr. Yea, Ibuki is better from my experience. The rabbit is a decent dd, nothing special, but the rest are pretty crappy.
