At first i thought it would be 5-7% for a 60min duration.. concidering how bad the filling is on these. But you only get 16 uses to use in that 60min window and stuck with a full stomach hehe. Oh well.

This is where those "useless" BE-Tissues come in handy. Some mass reducing additives would allow you to keep using it.

Then I guess it really does suck. But if your solo'ing creatures you don't need the Chef buffs for anyways and extra XP helps....

No, its just totally useless. I got it up to 6% experience, and 18 kills. I went out and tried it on some Quenkers and once I used the entire 18 kills I had made not much more then 500 exp. This uses the entire food bar, which I would rather use something like a synthsteak or flameout with. Basically, its useless. Unless Orm can be buffed up to 10 to 20% there is no point. (Or at least 1 to 10% with a 45 minute timer)

I'm in agreement that this is pretty useless. 4% to experience at a substantial stomach filling doesn't give an adequate cost/benefit. You have to take into consideration the resources it takes to make this, the stomach filling, and potentially what otherfoods you could have in your stomach at the time. 4% just isn't a big enough number to yield a satisfying result to justify the cost and stomach filling. BE component that to 8% and it's stilluseless because of the filling. I have a feeling this is so weak because there was a concern about abuse, however, because it is use based instead of duration based, there is already a huge throtle on the food so there isn't a good reason for this to be so weak. It doesn't look like there is a good understanding of how this would be used in practice when it was designed. If it started at 10-15% and could be BE componented to 20-30% this would start to approach useful, (and I believe my suggestednumbers are conservative).

Seems like a worthwhile food for some non-combat activities: dna sampling, taming and sampling
