Anyone have some ideas on what to charge for tier 4 and master chef foodstuffs? I just started making these items and I am in a quandry on what to charge. For what its worth, I am on Eclipse server, hanging around Theed, Naboo. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

I charge based on buffs and durations. The higher the buff the more I charge the less the buff the less I charge.

Unfortunately, some of the higher tier stuff costs more in resources, and has worse buffs.

Can some of you master chefs give some examples of how good these foods get mith maximum experimentation? I've seen spreadsheets listing all these foods but I think those were un-experimented.

What does our beloved wastril bread look like with maximum nutritional value? What about the master chef dishes?

That way it would be easier to tell how much they might sell for.

Thats exactly why I sell based on buff and not resources, lets face it, most customers don't look at wastril bread and say "oh this obviously took 45 resources to make, well then that seems like a reasonable price." most likely they will look and say "oh the buffs are good on that, thats a good buy"

As a marksman I buy a lot of buffs and have no idea, nor do I care,what it needs to make one, but I buy based on how good the buff is and how long it lasts.

I think I paid 30 cr for aircake and 20 for K-18 rations and thought that was super cheap. Also spent 700cr each on tattooineburn before, bought 8 of em' I think, thought that was a pretty fair price.

You may want to throw some up at different on different bazaars on different planets at a wide range of prices, and see what sells and what sits around. Also maybe open a vendor. I have no problem paying higher prices at a vendor, for something relatively lowpriced like buffs I would pay a lot more. Then I don't have to sort through a bunch of crap on the bazaar or travel all over the galaxy looking for some good buffs. Also its great to have the chef right there to fill requests.

i sell tat sunburns for 900 a peice, customized to your likings. (wth my experimentation maxed out)
Of course i sell my lesser tat sunburns around 650-700
(lots of uses, more filling, less buff; less filling, less buff, less uses; more buff, more filling, less uses, etc...)

I then sell them for 700 in a bulk order over 10. (once again customized, cream of the crop)

Ice blasters i sell for 350,
Thakitillo i sell for 400
Corellian Fried Icecream 400
Trimpian 200 (thse are awesome +276 to constitution 7 uses..of course i can customize)
Ryschate 280 credits

That's just a general idea

My prices are bound to go down, once i amass a surplus, as i just relocated all my harvesters to the uber organics.

They may seem more expensive than other chefs, but i only use the finest quality resources. lokian wheat, rori oats, corellian water, corn, and tubers, nabooian flowers and beans (and the crazy carnivore meat) , dantooinian greens and fungi...so you can see why it can get expensive traveling the galaxy to empty my harvesters.

I'd like to know what other people sell for so i can adjust to the market.

Thanks

Saitek do you take in for account that some attributes can't be buffed higher than others?

For example, tatooin sunburn is the best for stamina
What about say something like willpower that you can only buff to a maximum of 250 compard to 1500..do you still use the same multiplier you use for the sunburns?

I haven't really thought about it in those terms yet, so I can't really give you an answer until I sit down one day with a pen and calculator to figure it out. I do have to say though that it would also depend on how important the attribute is, or in otherwords how frequently it is used. Because say for instance people rarely use focus, I'm not sure customers would understand why the price would be so high.

I don't know I think it's kind of sad that you're selling something from the Master Chef skill for only 400 credits. And you say you're using quality resources. Plus there aren't many master chefs around so you have a monopoly at the moment.

I don't mean to harp on you -- in my opinion it's insufficient game balancing. But if any someone can make a new character and a minute later AFFORD to buythe very best dishfrom one of the only master chefs on the galaxy....

These prices are way too cheap I think. Are people really not buying more of them because of price?

Those are all roughly 5 credits/ resource..

except the sunburns which are a little higher...should i icnrease my price? most people go "ouch" when they see my prices...maybe they just don't understand the importance?

I see architects selling things for like 10x credits/resource...

I don't know what to do.

As for experimentation, i think it's a percentage of what the base is...for example, i can increase say a trimpian from a base of 121 buff, to 276 constitution, where as a flameout i started at 750 (used terrible resources...heh just wanted to try it out so i took what ever i had), and was able to jack it up to 1250 health.

I haven't tried wastril bread, I'm out in the middle of dantooine sampling some greens right now..i'll let ya know when i get back.
