I am a master chef

but i'll i've made so far is bastically pet food and sunburns

i'm branching out, but i don't know how much to charge

i sell sunburns for 1stack for 2k, 6 stacks for 10k, and 35k for a crate

and pet food crates (wastril bread) for 8k

how much do u sell the following for?:

angerian fishak surprise
Breath of Heaven
Flameout
Thakitillo
Teltier noodles
Blood Chowder
Veghash
Rakirian Burnout Sauce
Vegeparsine
Tatooine Sunburns (just to compare)
Ice Blaster
Ryshacte

lemme know if these things sell or not. I looked at all the food we can make and this is the best and the brightest

I'm on Valcyn and I sell my best buffs ie tats etc for 20k per crate, slightly lesser buffs for 15k per crate and artisan food for 5-10k per crate.

Stacks: 200 per Tat unit, 100 per unit for all other superior buffs and 50 per unit for stuff that comes out in large stacks of say 15 or for lesser buffs.

Easy to make stuff like Mists, 40 per use.

I know I'm cheap but I don't care. Food is easy to make and I want happy customers. About 50% of what I make goes to my PA for free and I'm still making money. Too bad business has basically stopped since the secondary stats bug.

I sell bofa treats for my pet food. Less resources and I don't think the type of food makes a difference, at least that is what i have been told. The difference is I do use high OQ resources to get 8 and 9 uses per it makes a lot of people happy obviously but they come back. Most people use their bad resources and only produce 5 use stacks. I sell these from2K to 3K depending on QTY and location.

ON the othe other items I have a wide range of pricing. It depends on the person(how much bought in the past) and how much they are ordering. I think I am on the lower end in price but and I have a lot of repeat customers and that is what has keep me going through this bug.

Just an FYI the BOH is a killer in time and resoources. It takes a lot. Before you set a price on any of these run a factory load of each (100 units/4 cases) so you can get s feel for the factory time and what it takes to make the good stuff.

Those of us that are not in PAs don't have the luxury of cheap/free resources and being able to ask for money or other assistance from a PA. I belonged to PA when I first played and they totally supported me by providing me with free harvesters and resources, and if I need money to pay manitance, they kicked in for that too.

My only source of income is from food. I've never done a mission outside of faction missions, so selling cheap, i.e. at a loss is not an option for me.

Personal pet peeve, I wish that when people asked for pricing that PA supported chefs who sell below cost would NOT respond. You do not accurently reflect the reality of what food costs.

I guess that comment about PA Chefs refers to me. Just to set the record straight, most of the PA resources go towards the weaponsmiths, armour makers and doctors. I do get some help, however I run a large house for the PA which takes up 6 lots which severely impacts on my ability to harvest resources.

The prices I quoted are what I believe I would charge regardless of whether I was in a PA or not.

Last I heard from Reb Soldr, is that Pet Food that is a chef food, not a dom arts food, lets baby animals grow faster.

My price are very close to this. More on one or two things and less on one or two things. And definitely check factory time, it can really be a killer.

Could not say this any better!! /Amen

I'll second that amen

I'll 3rd that motion. I did it all on my own, all the bills, resource gathering, orders, advertising, everything are all my responsibility, if I take a huge loss it hits me pretty hard.

i'm in a pa, but they don't help me

i pay all my own bills, buy my own materials, and make my own way

that's why i'm a bit more expensive than the normal "20k" for sunburns

anyway, back on topic... do u sell any of that stuff?

and for how much?

I would suggest you take the advice of the above poster and actually try and make a run of 4 crates of Breath of Heaven, and then judge for yourself. Just to run enough Aludium comps for the BoH to make a 4 crate run (100 BoH), your factory will be tied up for an entire day if not over night. I have just been in the habit of continually running 1k schematics of aludium all the time.

I base all my prices on buff and duration (for those interested, the formula is (total buff)/10 + (avg. duration)/5). If I put any points into experimental quantity, I add 10% per point. All arbitrary numbers of course, but they work for me. I also usually give a 25% discount on crated items.
