Hi mates


I am a Master Teras Kasi Artist who has been playing for over 6 months. I started playing when the game came out, and I have pretty much been everything from CH, Carbineer and Smuggler too Pikeman, Heavy swordsman andfencer!



But now im looking for new ways.... Artisan is probably the only tree i haven't experimented with. And i really wanna do so!

Butwill Chef be for me? What is some good starter tips in domestic tree?


Should i go up in the domestic tree and wait for the new patch to come? Or should i try it now?


Why i wanna be a chef? Well.... I guss it's because i always have loved food, and wanted to be a chef in real life


I think itwould be pretty cool to run your own cantina(my guild dosen't have any entertainers to run it),and sell foods which other people need.


But isthe new system as creative as the devs said in their friday feature? I don't wanna make a billion bucks on this or something.


I just wanna go out and get my resources, anddo things myself instead of letting an harvestor taking control!


And it dosen't have to be fast... I would like to have a vendor in my city! A little restaurant, where people can buy take-outfood rightaway or sit in their and relax



Do you thinkI would like chef or am i havingwrongexpectations, for this proffesion, or maybe the Artisan proffesion in general?


I would be very happy if i could get an answer


Thanks, Jenky!

Its hard to say, chef is a very off the wall profession I think.... many of the chefs who stick with it tend to enjoy the roleplaying aspect of chefing.


Right now is a difficult time for chefs as most people are anxious to get the new changes live but also nervous about what exactly the revamp holds for us. It is also a fairly demanding profession I find.


If you want to just have fun, make cool looking things, provide a service to people, socialise and generally have some fun, then its a good profession to choose. To take chefing more seriously however, is very time consuming, space consuming and lot consuming. With the new revamp, we have to harvest even more resources and they need to be high quality ones. With all this harvesting comes storage space required to keep them... Also you will probably find yourself needing multiple factories... throw in a cantina and thats another 5 lots... if you want a shop seperate to the cantina thats another 2 lots... and the list goes on. Most chefs either have multiple accounts or have the use of friends or guildees lot spaces.


I think it's always worth dabbling in a profession that interests you, it may be the one that makes you want to stop dabbling anymore But just be prepared that chef isnt a walk in the park as crafting professions go, there are easier ones


However if you're the type who can get excited about the prospect of decorating and running a restaurant and playing the ever busy chef then personally I think you will enjoy it


Plus the chef boards are full of useful information to get you started.


Kind Regards,

Seeing your post, I would say yes, you can be a good chef. And if you want to be a chef I suggest you to finish it before revamp goes alive, because the grind, if I remember well, will be more dificult.

Wow. That was the answers I was looking for


Hehe... Im currently holding the guilds PA hall(9 Lots) for our mayor, so, I can't do so much yet



But this sounds very cool. Im not looking for a fast grind or anything. Im looking for starting a hard and hectic buisness, and hopefully get succes


I got a bit of points over, when i have mastered chef! 18 Points actually. Should i take Survey or Engineer??



Wow, and thanks again for your replys

Remember also if you want your own vendor you need to go to minimum of business 3 and maybe higher given the new merchant changes...

Ohh



Owning my own vendor


Yes, that's something i want!


Oh noo... Out of points!


But won't i also need Engineer 3, so i can have my own harvesters(am im gonna need that as a chef?)



Maybe, chefs dont need as much resources as an architect who is going to build a guild hall?


Well.. Thats a hard one!



I guss i could give up Master brawler But then no lunge2 for me(2m knockdown ) and then i will be pretty useless for PVP


But what if i did:


Business 3 and Survey 3??? Would that work, or would i need survey 4, to be a good surveyer?:0



And thanks allot for your replys

Forget buisness III for the harvesters in my opinion. Only reason you should go up buisness tree is if A) you also want to do one of the elite professions B) you want to master artisan C) you want the extra experiment points, at least thats the only reason I would go up. It is certainly not limited to just three reasons. From what I have read, you do not wish to have any of the above. I suggest doing 0/4/3/(what ever is left). Just buy your harvesters from someone and I would suggest getting the heavy floras if you can afford it. Some will tell you medium but I personally like to get the most out of my lots, even if it means a bit more credits and power.


Good luck with the grind and your new buisness, and DO NOT buy the resources for the grind. Just be patient and mine them up yourself with your own harvesters, even if you are just using personals.

PSK -


You say i am suposed to forget Business 3, but still advices me to take 0/4/3//whatever points is left)


I can have: 0/4/3/3


Or: 0/4/4/1 / 0/4/1/4


Its a fight between survey and buisness, or else it will be a tie at 3

Any more opinions, or advices?


-Jenky

Wow sorry its early in the morning . I meant to forget engineering III. But you really should take buisness III. Novice merchant would be nice since you can put up an NPC (alien) vendor but it is not necessary.

I would go for 0433 and forget my mention of novice merchant. 0433 will be much more useful to you then novice merchant.

Your survey range will be a bit smaller but survey III is still very good. You should not have too much trouble finding stuff. The best thing to do is use this macro while on your speeder.


First open up your survey tool and highlight what you are looking for.


Then have a macro set as so:

/dismount

/pause 1

/survey

/pause 1

/mount


This will allow you to stop, press the macro button, and keep going w/o having to fumble around with controls. It make surveying sooo much easier.


Anyways good luck.
