Food Effect Types: There are three possible types of effects gained by using LAND OF CHAOS Gold food in FFXI:

A standard food effect, this type of effect is provided by the majority of the items in FFXI. A standard food effect has a fixed duration, as listed in the chart below.

Food effects can also be removed with the medicine item Antacid, or by trading a Gysahl Green to the Tarutaru NPC Parike-Poranke. The many different types of effects provided by standard food are outlined in the guide below.

Refresh effects that restores Magic Points (MP), the items that provide this effect are mainly juice drinks.

The effect from these is rather short, lasting between 1-5 minutes. These juice items are primarily used in specific, tough fights such as BCNMs, although veteran casters also often keep some in their inventory for emergency use during experience parties.

The amount of MP refreshed varies between the juices, with the juices that are harder to craft providing a more powerful refresh than the low crafting skill level ones.

This effect is the same as the Red Mage spell Refresh; the spell and the juice will over-ride each other, and will not stack.
