Chef Archive

Hey everyone, I plan on mastering the Chef profession, and I will be on the Scylla galaxy (once it comes up) along with the folks of www.scylla-server.com and www.swgexodusproject.com (as well as my PA, KOTOR). I beta tested the profession, and I have to say it is a LOT of fun, and perhaps the most immesive thing in the game... It doesn't get any more immersive than cantinas, drinks, and foods of the Star Wars universe. If you have any question, let me know, I will be glad to answer it. I hope to see you all ingame!

Ahhh, I forgot that you were going to be doing chef valadon. I am from pax, and I too will be doing the chef thing. I tried to get there in beta, but there wasn't enough time. Maybe we can have some sort of inter-PA cook off?

Maybe... but I warn you, in beta I was already a seasoned chef, hehe.

Mmm seasoned chef... can I get a pack of those with a chocolate shake to go? Thanks.

Good luck guys!

Well, Its good to see more and more chefs, but I do have a question.

Ever sence I saw all the professions, months ago, I knew chef was for me. I waited and waited for release (I tested in beta but did the combat thing as to not spoil my big suprise). Well, today I used my magic skills of Domestic Arts II and III to make some food and drinks to sell at the cantina in Mos Eisley. Well... after about an hour I had sold three drinks, and all to the same person. This leads me to my finial question: Will the buffs in the chef profession be enough to make others want to buy the food? I want to be able to make some money with this (even if I didnt I'd still go all out to Master, I just wanna be able to know what to expect). Will the foods and drinks (Corellian Ale! Wohoo!) I am able to make later on sell very well?

Thanks

Hello, I just got the game and I have decided to also be a chef, Ive also notice there isent too many other chefs which leads to a demand of them! I am too wondering:

If I will be able to make decent money for my food and drinks

and also which skills are good and what else should I become as my hybrid?

I need somthing that I can use in battle so (no musician or dancers sorry!) What you guys think, if you could help me and answer my question I would greatly Apreciate it!

-Thanks, Loktres

The problem with Chef is that no one knows what the buffs do for them. They know they dont need to eat, so they ignore food in the game. The hardest thing starting out as a chef is going to be informing the masses what it is you provide. Give the game a couple months and everyone will know that Chef=Buffs. Then you guys will be in high demand. Be the first Master chef in your area, and you could own the market for a while.

Remember, you gotta make the sales though. Constanly advertise what you are selling and what they buff. Do a bake sale and give some stuff away. Feed the entertainers with Action buffing food. Give away some Mind Buffs to the crafter. Give some Health Buffs to the fighters that are in for BF healing. Pretty soon you will be getting orders.

LordValadon if ya beta tested Chef how could you NOT report Milk which is required to Make Bantha Butter and Jaar.. and cant make Para Rolls cause you have no Bantha Butter? Or did you and they ignored you like Holo always seems to ignore me?

I, being a potential customer, have a question.

How much would the food items that these chefs makecost? and suppose I bring in some ingredients such as a bundle of wheat(like 30 pcs)to make a good meal, what kind of deal would I get in return?

Currently my character is on Scylla but the rate these servers are down who knows where I will end up?

basically I would buy the resources from you at 2cr/resource and then just charge you my regular price. So if you had 30 pcs, I would give yu 60cr (which by the way is the price of one of my exo-protien wafer stacks).

I see........ I was tempted to have my second job as a chef but man having a good day gaming and there's alot more monsters out there and you can't run around them ALL THE TIME....need medic knowledge to survive and heal my wounds on the battle field.

This got reported lots of times, and was mentioned in the "Top 10 Chef Issues" thread more than once.. Their continued silence on it leads me to assume there must be some hidden way of getting milk in the game - perhaps creature handlers with pet (female)Banthas can issue the /milk command

for those of you wondering if the buffs you get from food are enough, I say definately. I'm only at domestic arts 1 but last night I was making spiced tea that gave +50 to action and focus for around 2 minutes. this might not seem THAT impressive but remember I'm only at domestic arts 2, I'm not anywhere near chef yet. By the time that I do get to chef, these things are going to be getting REALLY good.
