These things work wonderfully, but sell horribly. Even 22 filling is to high for something that people hope they wont ever need to have to rely on.

wow that's nice additives. from who and where did you get those? i'm sorry to say the resources used must have been pretty close to 1000 on all oq, pe, and fl, or at least in the 900's each, so dont' expect to see this again for a very long time.

Sounds like nice stuff!
I'm going to make a factory run of the stuff and see how it sells.

There is a major bug with some foods that reach near 100% increase in whatever they are trying to increase. They basically work infinitely faster than they are supposed to. That is why Cavaelin makes you get up right away and Havla makes you buff rapid fire. What other foods am I missing?

I did a little testing with this stuff and found a few interesting facts:
1) I could hit the 100 cap EASILY with only light nutrients
2) When over 100, your opponents' combat que will not empty before you recover, meaning they will knock you back on your ass immediately with their next qued special.
Because of reason number 2, for pvp I'd target this food at as close to, but under 100 as possible, allowing their que's to empty before you stand, so you don't get instantaneously double incapped. For pve I'm targeting mine at as close to over 100 as possible to possibly avoid the instant db so many big critters deliver, (I haven't tested this).
I've asked my BE buddy to use some remnant mediocre materials we have laying around to make a 500 batch of broad spectrum additives. Even using the low quality ingredients and my other high quality materials, I'm guessing I'll only need to spend at most 2 exp points to cap the nutrition, and it may even begin at over 100 without experimentation. I tested the quanity up to 84% and never got above the initial 2 stack, so don't bother dropping any points into that category. I haven't tested this, but if you could get into the 90's without a nutrition additive, this might be a good food to use a filling reducing additive in for a pvp variety. (I don't know if this is possible at the moment).

the bigger question is why he used 89 additives in creams? man, seems like a darn waste of near perfect BSN's to me.....

I found the same thing. If the food is over 100 all you get is a double incap. 90-95 seems to be the # to shoot for. If you have really good stuff to make it with you may want to go with a filling reducer instead. lowering the fill from 25(ish) down to 10 or under may let you sell more. imo though with the way combat is now this food is useless. Once the revamp is done and combat is actualy hard again ( we hope ) people may worry about getting incapped. As it is now something that can incap you buffed and in comp armor most times will DB you right away.

Sincei read this post my idea about Cavaelin Creams was "totally useless". As nobody in his right mind buys/eats this stuff. But now i have a very good customer type in my mind :
JEDI
After the new jedi revamp everywhere is full of grinding jedis. I even heard of cases for paying 1 million for reviving dead jedi's by doctors. Why not sell this food to jedis as a precaution in case of an unexpected incap from an db able mob or even jedi duel .
my 2 cents....
