Food can only be used outside of combat as it is easier to gain and generally can heal for more than potions. Plus, while I can see someone crunching a pine nut mid battle, it is harder to imagine them wolfing down a steak or burger!

Most food have a nutrition value that varies based on when you eat it. For example, the first number represents how much VP (or WP) you restore if this food is the first thing you ate this day, the second represents how much you gain if it was the 2nd meal of the day, 3rd number is if it is the 3rd meal and 4th represents 4th plus meal. Generally more "breakfast" type foods will have a higher value for the first or second meal and then drop down if you eat them as the 3rd and onwards. So for maximum VP gain you could eat something like omelette as first meal then whatever food has a high 2nd value and so on. This value is only for the order in which you eat food during each day and it resets at midnight, so even if you eat your first meal at 11pm it will count as breakfast and use the first value.

Goblin Smith is rather scatter brained yes! That said, the Quest reward is probably not really worth the money spent on buying the ingots.

Shaking the Hive will only lead to a fight and nothing else. It exists in case you want to farm Battle EXP or Hornet specific drops like Stingers. Your chance of gathering successfully goes up SIGNIFICANTLY if you do it at night when they are asleep or if you are invisible. Your Stealth Spec also adds to success, but the main Spec that is checked is actually Entomology, Foraging only lets you gather them in the first place.

All Heroines are planned to have Quest lines associated with them! Though the length of the Quest chains could vary between them.
