Since Bespin Port only works for the next experiment attempt and not a few and is too filling to take one for each experiment attempt... What is the best way to get the most use out of it?

No.. You can't stack any skill increasing food. I've tried it with the terrian one, won't let you.


But I'm guessing you can eat one, experiment, eat another and continue like that until your fool. But im guessing at most you can take 3.


So I'm wondering... Split my points into 3 groups to have food for each attempt, or 1 by 1 or 1 by 2 and use food for the last few points when the risk is higher?

I have a question also.


Say I have a 25 experimentation skill tape, does bespine port's bonus stack with it also Or do I only get +25 to experimentation?

I've read that for the Pyollian Cake the bonus only applies if you eat it before you open the crafting tool. So, if you open the crafting tool, select a schematic, load the required resources/components, then eat the cake the assembly bonus won't apply. If this is truly the case, then I would assumethat the same goesfor Bespin Port as well. Which would mean that you would only get the bonus for the very first experimentation attempt for any item, no matter what.


They should change these foods to a timer instead. Even 5-10 minutes would be plenty for most crafting. Of course, after the new crafting 'improvement' it won't matter much anyways (sorry, just had to get that jab in there ).

Yeah, if thats true for the cake then I would assume for the Port too.


Last night I made a Scythe using Port for each attempt. I spent my points in sets of two to have the backing of Port each time. I got all Great's and one Moderate. =(


And with that crafting "improvement" I agree, I don't understand what the benefit of Port will be. I take it now to get great/amazing succus rates. With each attempt being the same there will be no use of Port.

I think he increase the success rate of experimentation, vs poyllian Cake increase the success rate of assembly. Not give you +1 to experimentation point

Thats how I understand it. In other words, it increases your chances of having an AMAZING success versus just a great success result.

Yes MovieMania007 is right, I was very disappointed when I found out. I think they need to explain it better in the description.

If the crafting experiment changes had gone through, all armorsmiths and weaponsmiths would have been dependant on this stuff. Still, those classes should be using Bespin Port regularly when trying to perfect a schematic. When combined with a City with a Research Specialty, the effect is quite measurable in the number of Amazing successes you can get.

Both food and drink items directly reflect in the experimentation outcome or assembly outcome. they dont modify ur food crafting experimentation mod.
