Being a Chef, which one you preferred?
+25 2uses 14mins or soo
or
+24 3uses 14mins or soo....
Which of the two attracts the customers more?

The customers prefer +25. But if you're getting a food suit sometimes soon. I suggest you save the +25 resources/additives for a little while until you can make 25/3. I was able to get 25/3 as an 11 pointer pretty easily and so should you.
But if you have no choice I suggest the +25. People are used to 25 and they won't care about 1 less use if you price it accordingly.

Tbh the 3 use means more to me as a doc, so i'd go with the 3 use, the +25 while looking cool really only adds about 20-30 buff points, while the 3 use is easier as you only need 1 crate to last you awhile.

Each point of percentage adds 10 points to the final buff. If +25 allows you to hit for 2500, +24 means you get 2490.

But what would the doc prefer 10 extra points on a buff or extra 25 uses?
Its not what the buffee's want, they don't buy bivoli, its what the doc's want, and as a doc i'd prefer the extra use.

well being both a Chef and a Doc....i can tell you i wouldn't buy anything less than +25......i can only make the 2 Use stuff tho as a chef...but the +25 is needed for the buff...so use most of my points to get +25 the rest goes into the time of the bivoli cuz i can't get it to 3 without getting a lower buff.....sorry i like my doc to buff me at 2607

I should add tho, while my bivoli is only 2 use..the buff lasts for at least 16 mins...so it somewhat works out kinda..in my head anyhow lol

+25 is a bit psychological marketting thing. It will sell at least twice as well as +24 (not depending on uses).

I can tell you from experience on my server that the higher rated Bivoli will sell quicker. My Bivoli is either +25.172 or +25.389, depending on what meat I use. I also get 3 uses each on these and Ithink this is critical for me to charge what I need to recoup my costs for BE additives. 2 uses drops my product by 33% and I don't want to drop my price that far as my costs are all the same, regardless if my uses are 2 or3.
It might be worth your time also to use a higher valued BE additive to help out. I use only +87's on my Mediums and +117's on my heavies, minimum. A +88 and a +118 will help you hit that extra mark also. Plus as a 12 pt chef I normally have pts left over as the +25.172 and +25.389 is normally resource limited. I dump a few pts into uses to get it from 2 to 3, then I can drop some more into duration to get in the 16 min range.
I can hardly keep this Bivoli in stock and it will sell for $225K per crate in our economy.

Yes, I've been told by many of my customers that it hits the same. I sell +24, 3 use, 17 minute bivoli and I can barely keep it in stock. My customers love that they get 3 17 minute uses out of it and don't mind that it's not +25.

Same here. some customers insist on +25, but they generally come around when they dont find any other bivoli around. For the most part I believe the doc's are uneducated as to the differences between +24 and +25. 10 points difference in the buff isnt worth being picky about IMO. Although to be honest, I stopped caring about "perfection" long ago in crafting.
