Thread: First Bivoli
is also acceptable if you're a 10 point chef what i assume, of course price it lower than 12 pointers sell their +25/3 uses
What additive did you use? You can (and should) use a Heavy Additive with Bivoli.
PE and OQ need to be high on the Carn Meat and the Vegetable (800 to 900 at least!) if DR is nice thats not bad either (for quantity)

+25 bonus
15+ Mins Duration
2 uses 3 if possible
if you are a 10pt, you will probably be getting 2 uses.
You want to put as much experimentation into the bonus as possible as well. Decimal values do not matter when regarding bivoli, they round down no matter what, meaning a 24.9 is exactly the same as a 24.1.
So what I am sayin here is, if you are spending an extra experimentation point to boost the bivoli but are still hitting the same base, spend that experimentation point elsewhere 
Normally it takes 2-3 experimentation points to go from 2 to 3 uses, depending on the materials you use.
With my resources it would be impossible to hit 25/3 with 10 points.
I need 8 amazing successes for +25, and then 3 great successes for 3 uses. thats 11 points already.
I assume 2 amazings in quantity would get me very close to 3 uses, but its just not enough (i tried it
). I guess higher DR would allow me to safe that point too, and spend it in Flavor...

*hi5's sciguy* it can be quite hard to get +25/3 as a 10pt chef
Yeah, no kidding! I got my hands on some 118 heavies, figured I could juuuuust hit it with a7 point amazing in Nutrition and a3 point amazing in Quantity, using some high PE/OQ/DR meat and veggies for a good start point. I certainly went through a lot of Bespin that day.
Of course, when I went in-game tonight real quick to check the other stats, I'm completely sold out of it. 
Apparently everyone's turning up their noses at my +24 / 3 use.
And as an FYI (if you want to try some customer education) some doc testing showed that the difference between +24 and +25 is something like 0.5% of the buff (around +10 difference depending on the buff pack's power).
