The Best Food for All Jobs
In Final Fantasy XIV's Dawntrail, the food and tincture market got a bit of a shakeup compared to Endwalker's Savage raid recommendations. Even though the general principles behind gearing are the same, the first tier of Dawntrail's Arcadion(Savage) raids might have everyone vying for the same kind of food and tinctures this time around.
Best-in-slot means something different to every player, but in general, there are some recommendations most players can use if they want to beat all four Savage fights this tier. With each tier players will need to adjust their gear, but now that Savage has been out for a few weeks, most players have settled on what they want to use for their food and pots.
While every playstyle is different, this guide will serve most looking to get into the Arcadion(Savage) raids. As always, use what food and pots work for you best, but if you're unsure of where to start, below is what most raiders have been using this tier. If you're looking to craft these items, macros and ingredients will be listed as well.

Food and pot macros for crafters
In order to craft all of the food and pots listed above, you'll need a level 100 pentamelded crafter, and if you want to save money and gather all of your ingredients, you'll need a pentamelded gatherer as well. Below are macros you can use for the food and pots with stats listed.
The stats listed below are base stats, but require a food and tincture to be used for the fastest macro. It is possible to craft food and pots without the food and tincture boosts, but these macros do include them. These macros are also assuming you have high quality ingredients, meaning the base level quality starts at 8250.
Food
Food durability starts at 70, so any food with this durability can follow the macros below if you have the base stats listed. These macros can be altered if you're missing stats or don't want to use buffs.
