Chef Archive

I gave my local spice dealer in my region, a sample of my tatooine sunburn. He should wow where did you get this. I said i made it. Slightly in annoyed manner he said but this is good as some of my spices, thought you chefs weren't suppose to make anything that good. He is good guy, but this upset me.

I'm am mix 2 right now in chef proffession. With the same amount of exp needed to get novice chef and mix 1. I can master the whole of the spice tree in smuggler. So if i went the smuggler route, with crafting the smae amount i would be making drugs at spice 4, the best available except for master smuggler. I can easily get to smuggler as i'm novice pistoller and spec unarmed already (have to run combat missions, to make a living).

Now spices for the most part except one drink, kick the hell out of anything we make. Side affect 1min of puking afterwards, but you can still craft, survey, dance, fight while puking. Slight decay of stats but doesn't affect you to much.

But spices also have an advantage. Once there buff runs out, you can pop another instantly. If you have enough spices you can buff continually. With food we can't after buff runs out, your still full for awhile (15-20mins i heard ned it confirmed thou, i think its 5mins)

Spices

less exp to gain (only 8k for first lvl )

longer buff times 10-12mins

higher buffs,

continually buffing

Can continue any activity while puking.

Right now spices are very similiar to food, biggest difference is there better. I don't think psices should be nerfed at all, they actually seem very balanced to me. But i think food needs to be brought up and changed.

I think spices should be used for short buff periods, and food for long periods like 30mins. Right now it seems the opposite way around.

People should be full, i think for the duration of the buff, no more. We can pop 50 shadowpawn spice in a row with no ill will. Food needs to be the same. More chance of OD, than eating self to death.

Orthey could make you gain weight

I went desserts my best buffs are +90..

im at

desserts 2

cooking 1

mixology 1

I cant make anything near as good as a smuggler.

im now getting to mix 2 asap I obiously made the wrong choose going with Desserts..

once I get to mix 2 i wil have 1 item thats worth it..

then I can get back to leveling desserts

I have to day when you compare us to to smugglers we seem slightly ridiculous.Ifour buffs are so substandard, at least extend their duration, and make people able to eat and drink more.

I agree, Rai.

I think there's two things, more than anything else, that would really help our profession:

1) Make food/drink visible in your hands. Practically everybody in the cantina would buy something, then!

2) Extend chefs' foods duration to 15-30 minutes. That way it will be superior to spices, to an extent.

In beta holocron said food was suppose to last a couple of hours where spices, while having better buffs, were only suppose to last a few minutes.

Also, food was suppose to be stackable while spices were not.
