Chef Archive

I have been taking my time in the Chef tree. I don't like to "grind" so it has taken me quite a long time to get my first advancement up the tree.

Now this is why I may be crazy:

I took Cooking I.

In fact, I'm planning on filling the cooking line before anything else. Why? Because I'm nuts!

No, actually I noticed that just the one bonus to experimenting caused me to fail less often in my experimentation, and I am already nowmaking pretty good stuff when I am successful.

I view cooking sort of like playing a slot machine, when it "hits" I get excited!

So I figure I'll be making great Blap Biscuits, Charde, and Meatlumps before I learn to make anything else. Further when I do get those new recipes I'll be cooking up great ones, instead of the standard.

Call me crazy, everyone else does, but this is going to work for me.

Not crazy, I did Mix II, then Cook IV.

I got mix 2, then cooking 4, then entrees 4, then mix 4, now finishing up deserts

I bet the majority of people go to the cooking like fairly quickly.

entrees 1 - 2 for useable foods.. I hate just grinding only

cooking 1

mix 1 - 2

now I plan on goinbg back to cooking and get it up to at least 3 before moving back to Entrees, might bring it up to 4.

I went to Mixology II as quick as I could. Then, I took Entrees I because people in Cantinas wanted food. Now, I've got Cooking I and am grinding quick as I can to get to 2. Mmmmm, 2 more experimentation points.... mmmmm.

Dito.

**edit**, you'll have the best wastril bread in the galaxy. Of course, I predict you'll hate the sight of them before hitting cooking III...

It doesn't sound completely loopy, but to *prevent* insanity, you might want to take at least Entrees I or Mixology I (depending on whether you want to make food or drinks) just for a bit more variety. You do know that you don't get chef xp for the Domestic Arts foods, right?

Not crazy at all.

I got all the way to Mix IV first, because I really really wanted the Bartender title. But what I made was utter crap. Now that I'm working up the Cooking line, I've noticed a huge difference in my results. I wish I had done it sooner!

Yes your a crazy beast....for not realizing you need to max cooking...it's probably the single most important line since it effects everything!!!

I did Mix 2 the nCooking 4 now I have enough points to get Entree 1 and 2 so that is where I am heading next. The only thing that scares me a bit is if durning the balance pass they decide to move Sunburns to Mix 4 or to Master. It is the former that has me almost going for Mix 4 then up the entree tree. But that is just greed talking....
