Thread: What do you guys want?
I got off my Chef Butt and started utilizing www.swgchef.com
what else do you guys want to see there regarding information for aspiring chefs?
Violence and nudity.
Besides that...Once we get the information, we are going to need a new list of buffs and what they do and what their resource requirements are going to be. This should include how much experience each is worth.
A list of chefs by server and where their vendors are located.
Nice site, Saitek.
Maybe I should joinyou, if you don't mind an Imperial partner. In any case, we can talk about it in-game
As for the site, it's pretty good. The buffs listed on the foods chart are pretty low, they actually end up being much higher always. But I guess since things will be changing soon it's not worth the effort. Also the organization of how the foods are listed on that site could be improved. Otherwise, though, it looks terrific!
-A food database with resources, xp, production time, and low/average/high stats....maybe a hall of fame for each food using some reasonable point system (Given the tons of stats, I'll keep that a pipe dream).
-Listings of Chef trainers and a FAQ for grinding.
-Mos Taike food quest walkthrough, and any other npc food items ('Special Gift Soup' is one, I don't know the others)
-Server separated chef vendor listing
-Tech talk on the best resource reserve typesto have based on what your sales are (I've been thinking of developing a tool like this for me, but probably in excel...anyone interested in web apps? or interested at all?)
-Story board for chef rp events
Saitek, PM me if you want any help with it.
Since the colored columns are nice to have, I mixed the 2 (Chef.htm and ChefPricing.htm) into my own spreadsheet.

Violence and Nudity, np will get that done tonight.
I have the "Menu" section which is just a simplified chart for non-chefs to read, who are interested in ordering food not how many resources they take, and then in the Chef FAQ section is where i will be including a more detailed chart for actual chefs.
As far as a list ofchef on other servers and their location I can get that in too, but I want to finish the chef information first and get that out of the way. I can even include pictures of the chef if they are sent to me, and a brief bio.

Yes, I'd like to include this in some kind of chart, both on the site and a downloadable pdf.

Np, will get this done.

Excellent idea.
-Server separated chef vendor listing
yup will work on this

Any articles or stories chefs would like to submit is fine with me.
-Story board for chef rp events
Not sure what you mean exactly, elaborate.

Think he means an event announcement board? For feasts and stuff.

I was talking more about a collection of RP stories for people to read, I've had the luck of doing a couple feasts, weddings, and hosting and it's been a fun aspect of my play. I figure there are others out there, but a collection helps players brainstorm in what they can do and how they can do it. Of course people could post stories on the forum here, but sometimes I figure it would get lost in the a lot of the mechanics based threads.
Feast announcements would also be fun to announce, I've actually created a couple of characters on other servers to check out player events, and would attend if a cheffy had something going on.

A list of known vendors that carry chef ingrediants at affordable rates for those times when you just got to have something and could not harvest yourself. Are there even such people? I see them all over the place for metals and such, but none for food ingrediants. Even on the bazaar, what little can be found is sky high prices.
As a novice chef, it has been quite difficult starting out for me to collect enough resources to keep up with finished good product demand and I've actually had to turn down orders due to lack of resources, much less have enough excess to grind for practice. I'm sure you've all been thru this and know what I mean. Finally managed to scrape up enough money to add on a couple more flora farms and keep them functioning. But it has been difficult.
Honestly it took me almost 3 months to find a reliable organics dealer on my server. You need a lot of starting capital to give enough initial orders to get some people's attention. One method I've heard of people doing is spamming your needs in theed about a particular resource (swgcraft.com is a great resource for up to date stuff), and finding a surveyer looking to make some starting money. My server economics say that if you offered 4-5 cpu guaranteed for an existing resource, that a lot of players would jump on it. From that you could possibly start a relationship with your miners/farmers. Posting on your server board helps also.
I started early game, but I made all my early cash from mining steel for weaponsmiths. When they burned out, I turned my cash into wheat and corn and started grinding. The rest is history

A section with "All-star" foods, listing the BEST stats achieved for each item (highest duration/buffquality/stacksize, and overall best) would be nice for us aspiring celebrity chefs
This would be a fun feature. I already put up a Best Seller list for those people who are not sure what they want and want to know what other people are buying.
