im getting a second account on Sunday and i decided to become a crafter. i plan on going Master Merchant, Master Chef and finishing the Spices tree in Smuggler. is that a good mix? i dont know any suggestions would help
secondly i looked through the FAQ, and im trying to do as much research as possible, but i found the FAQ a bit confusing. just for when i start Chef what resources do i need and how much of each do i need to grind through Chef, once again any help here is greatly apprecieated.
Thanks
FROM THE FAQ!!!!
Novice Chef: Soypro, 10 cereal, 10 vegetable, 80 xp (84 in practice mode).
Desserts I: Pastebread, 20 wheat, 10 oats, 10 water, 160 xp (168 in practice mode).
Entrees I: Synthsteak: 20 vegetables, 20 cereal, 5 hide, 180 xp (189 in practice mode).
Desserts III: Kiwik Clusjo Swirl: 40 berries, 20 fruits, 20 water, 260 xp (278 in practice mode).
One trick to get faster xp at Novice is to actually create the soypro (don't use practice mode), then after you've made up a bunch, eat them all. Soypro is a component, so it has 0 filling, and you get UXP for eating the last dose of your own food. So instead of getting 84 xp by grinding in practice mode, you'll get 120 by crafting and eating it.
The simplest grind path is Soypro -> Pastebread -> Kiwik Swirl. I just threw in the synthsteak in case you happen to have a bunch of hides lying around and already have Entrees I.
For soypro, vegetables and cereal. For Pastebread wheat, oats, and water. For Kiwik Swirl berries fruits and water.
To get from Novice Chef to Desserts I by grinding soypro in practice mode requires making 391 soypro, requiring 3910 vegetables and 3910 cereal. If you do the "craft and eat" method (getting you 120 xp instead of 84), you will make 267 soypro requiring 2670 vegetables and 2670 cereal.
To get from Desserts I to Desserts III grinding pastebread requires making 610 breads. This means you will need 12200 wheat, 6100 oats and 6100 water.
To get from Desserts III to Master Chef grinding Kiwik Swirl requires making 2464 swirls. So you'll need 98560 berries, 49280 fruits, and 49280 water.
So, the total grind resources are:
3.9k cereal (any type)
12k wheat
6k oats
98.5k berries
49.3k fruits
55.4k water
heh heh sorry
