Sounds like the good ol' xp bug. Wait until the server restarts and you will be fine.

Ugg...the resources are being used - just no crafting xp with the nutrients. If I go back to crafting contstrictor tissues everything is fine...I really hope the bug is fixed soon if that is the problem. Anyone else have any ideas?

I did the following:
1) Figure out the most popular chef food & drink (Brandy/Ahrisa at the moment)
2) Figure out average going prices for high-end brnayd/ahrisa
3) Allocate 30% of this price to additives
4) Assume that nothing less than an 87 was used.
Walla! 30% of the average going price for a crate of high-end brnady/ahrisa was my going price for a crate of 87s. That gives the chef profit, since additives are their biggest cost center in most food/drink (those that don't need milk, thus the "most"). I then scaled down from there, ensuring the price I picked also covered the cost of the supplies.

If you aren't getting any xp from grinding the higher tissues at the crafting stations add an extra /nextCraftingStage; line to your macro and the problem will be solved.
I found this answer in an old thread...
So I made it to tissues 3.
The same macro that worked until now isn't working anymore with broad spectrum nutrients.
If I attempt to craft by pressing 'next' instead of using the macro it works. I've tried sitting in front of both the public crafting stations and a private station. It seems to work but the xp doesn't accumulate. Its like its not working, but the crafting cycle isn't giving error messages either.
Anyone know what may be going on?
I'd really like to get that 168xp per craft instead of that 105xp. Thanks in advance.

And by the way could anyone giving me some idea on how they determine their prices for the BE tissues? I'd like to develop a price list to sell to chefs and tailors, please let me know what you usually charge them.
I just read that the going tissue prices range from 2k-8.5k depending on the server. That's 50k-210k per crate of 25 tissues.
That's a big range...arbitrary pricing...like 'hey' like charge 20mil for an ADK, ya, that sounds fair. I'd like to get a fair price that takes into account the price of materials and time. All I know is that I'm dead broke until I finish master BE and I hope to be able to turn a profit soon.
