Question:
The low value is a good idea. It makes it hard to make a profit macroing and selling to vendors but it does encourage sale to other players. They restore more health that the average hearty healing food and that is always a good thing. They are also, wonderfully approachable. Michiba (and yes, he does have the title Iron Chef) buffs to just over 260 alchemy and made only one flub in the ten potions I tested. Yes, this does make cooking much less valuable and hopefully, the Turbies will add something for cooking more meaningful than candy bars and candied apples very soon.

Answer:
To put it bluntly. I don't play a mage, I have no inclination to play a mage. I carry a mess of heavy armor, a golf bag full of swords, two packs full of comps, a pack full of medic supplies, a pack full of mana stones, a pack full of master robes, a bow with a snot load of arrows AND leave town at just over 50% burden. Weight isn't an issue for me (and I imagine many no-neck types). HOWEVER I free-range hunt and routinely fight while vulned and imperiled. When fighting monsters that vuln and war VI, it doesn't matter how many healing items you can carry, only how much health you get back in one eat/drink animation because often, you will only get one before you are dead. Nor do trade elixers...they require someone else to do it. hearty healing famous pizza requires a second person to keep handing my cook flour and water. Either way, someone is standing there helping. The cost of the kits is a non-issue. My little spearman is still visiting the citadel and as a result, I have a spare pack full of peerless. They take CONSIDERABLY less clicks. It takes FIFTEEN (15) clicks to make one hearty healing famous pizza. It takes three (3) to make a health elixer. Since I consider macros cheating, this is a factor. Less time clicking means more time playing. Speaking of time... most of the good hearty healing foods (hot kimchi, famous pizza and green tea ice cream) can not be assembled in one town. Factor in the time spent running to the snow man or the spice merchant and we are talking serious time savings overall. Until the turbies get around to putting hearty healing green tea ice cream of black fire in the game, I am sticking to the elixer.
