Chef Archive

I am sure everyone that frequents these boards are quite familiar with my views on subjects like this one.

We could make it even better if once you mastered Chef, eleventy billion credits got transferred directly to your account and that way you wouldn't have to do a thing.

The solution is simple. If you want to make Chef foods, be a Chef. If you want to make artisan foods, ba an Artisan. If you want to make both, be both. People do not buy Artisan foods instead of Cheff foods. They use what they need for what they are trying to accomplish. I am a 12 point chef and a 14 point artisan. I sell way more Chef foods than Artisan. This is the way it has always been. Why is it now a problem?

The problem is that this is a poor crafting model for this game.How it ought to work is you work your way up thetree from easier to more difficult and as you progress the rewards increase. But here we have a skill, i.e. cooking, unnecessarily brokenup in to two categories, artisan and chef.There is no reason for this. Are you telling me that a master chef can't make the dammn candy that he learned at the beginning of cooking school? Why should someone waste skill points on a tree that has nothing to do with cooking just so that they can make friggen blob candy? No the masterchef has to learn the skills ofmaking chemical harvestors and grenade wiring kits before he is able to make candy!

How would weaponsmiths feel if CDEF's were better than the scatter pistols? Blob candy ought to be the CDEF of the chef world. How would architects feel if large houses held less items than small houses? You don't see other crafting professions, like weaponsmith, having to pick up the domestic arts line of artisan so that they can make "artisan"weapons. Are you understanding what Im saying?

Yes I will probably pick up artisan now and drop BE or merchant due to this idiotic design. For me, your simple solution is tantamount to bending over and taking a skill point hit due to bad game design.

there are very good selling chef foods, so i dont see the big problem.

chef foods = good stuff = short duration = more usage necessary = stacks used faster = stacks bought earlier = more money for the chef :>

e.g.:

artisan kombo = blob candy + spiced tea (no health bonus) / long duration / used for grinding

chef = mandalorian wine = capped action and mind regen + health bonus / short duration / used for pvp

there are so many valuable chef foods and they mostly have an higher effect than artisan stuff.

what do you want? nerf the artisan foods, so that only chef food sells?

Chef foods are vastly superior to Artisan foods so I dont know where you are coming from here. I dont stock many artisan foods any more as my time and resources give me a much better return from Chef foods and they are the foods in real demand.

PvE grinders might use Artisan foods while they grind but as soon as they start PvPing they want the good stuff and they are happy to paytop prices fortop qualityfoods.

I understand the problem with artisan food: Good nutrition, excellent low filling, excellent long duration. These food/drink should not be made easily by artisans. It's like if artisan could make Composite armor or T21/adv laserrifles.

A solutionwould be:

• double the filling and half the duration of these foods, so making them lower quality.


• stack the artisan exp and chef exp points. So if a chef makes these foods, he can experiment further with his chef exp points, resulting in the food quality we see now.
