Well im about to produce around 1000 brandies though I have a few questions before i plop down the near 1mil credits to start off it seems.
First off, what are the best nutrients to use?
Second, do I need more experimentation or assembly points?
Third, cask or large glass? Which one is more effective for a first run.

If you all could be so kind as to help id be most appreciative. This first run will basically make or break me...and the ladder is not an option =)

Forth-should I even bother with BE at the start? cause it seems the cost of BE is going to kill me...

1) Broad Spectrum Nutrients (~+80 Medium Nutrient Additive...needs to be mixed with water afterwards)


2) Both are good, yet for additional experimental points, you need to aquire skill tapes for food experimentation. A total of 10 will give you 1 additional point to use, with 25 being the maximum mod skill tapes can aquire, you can only get 2 additional experimentation points. Assembly mods effect how well you craft an item (ie.less chance of critical failures)


3) Cask = 3x quantity modifyer. Barrels offer a 5x modifyer, yet are currently broken

With this being my first run though, should I bother with BE additives since buying enough for 1000 brandies on naritus will come out toclose to 1mil credits and 1 mil credits for me isnt easy to aquire.

on kettemoor at least, the market for nonBE brandy is very very small, and you'd have far more luck selling BE brandy, even though it costs you more to make it. and, nothing says you have to make a full run the first time. i'm a quite successful chef by my own standards, but i wasn't sure i would be at first. i started out only making foods/drinks i knew my husband and i would use if they didn't sell, and i didn't make a full run of anything at all until i knew from experience what sold the most. good luck!

You definitely want to use BE broad-spectrum nutrient enhancements +90 is the max, 85 or greater is very good. You want to use casks; they're a pain to make but 21 uses is a lot better than 7. If you can get +20 experimentation tapes you can get +12 experimentation points which helps a lot as a chef. Especially with brandy where you want to get a +400 buff with a 45m duration and a fill less than or equal to 50 fill.

You mean +400 I think...+700 on brandy?

Technically youcould plan on 500 brandies - you need 2 identical alcohol so that's the most you can make in 1 factory run.

The problem with being a new chef is I Can barely aquire 1 mil creds which greatly hampers my ability tobuy experimentation skill tapes as well as be additives, trims and the resources needed to create casks.
Tell me, did you all start out on a full run? Or is it more economical to start out with lets say 500 or less brandies on my first run in order to create high stat brandies which I can sell crates at about 100k per

I tend to stick to smaller factory runs (10 crates or so). I don't do a huge amount of business, so that keeps me stocked for some time.


One thing you should realize is that a full crate of casked brandy (21 doses per stack) will last your customer for about a week's worthof in-game buff time. Since people don't play 24/7, and rarely keep a constant brandy buff, this means that a single crate will last the average player a month or more. A dedicated power gamer might go through the crate in a few weeks.


So for brandy, you're not going to be getting the same customers coming back every week or so to restock. Brandy is also one of the more popular items available, so the market is already going to have a lot of competition for you.

Yeah, the market is pretty competetive for brandy, thats why I think in order to be safe I might sell it on the trade forums

There are other foods that sell just as well as brandy that may be more appropriate to make in your situation, depending on the resources you have available; Bivoli, Canape and Ahrisa all sell well on Ahazi.
