I really wanted to get the Chef perspective on which additives with what kind of stats (minimum/good/great) you would look from from a BE. Any help would be most appreciated.

Light : Micronutrient Supplements : 54-57

Medium : Broad Spectrum Nutrient : 84-87

Heavy : Intelligent Nanonutrients : 114-117

These are the most common tissues people will need in bulk but every now and then, chefs will ask for the others but never more than a full run.The numbers are the power range that are commonly sold on my server (Anything under the lower number would really just be a waste of time. They could be used in certain foods but most chefs wouldn't want to sell the inferior product). Getting the 57/87/117 takes some VERY nice resources and hence commands a much higher price, but they will sell out fast. I most commonly use 56/86/116 since I can easily make them with my BE character and make a nice finished product. The resources to make that are not that hard to locate but when I do find them, I stock up in the millions. After you make several full runs of your product, just send tells to any of the chefs on your server and I guarantee you will have a line of people waiting to buy them as long as the price is not outrageous.

In pricing consider the resources. Most decent carnivore meat can be had for 20 cpu's and flora at the most 5 cpu's. So for a full run of 116 Heavies the cost is as follows:

20000 X 20 = 400000

950000

950000 / 40 = 23750 for each full crate

This is high end prices for a full run and if you harvest the resources yourself you can get it down to about 1 cpu for each including the meat. This product sells for around 30-40k a crate so still a profit to be made. Once you have your clientel, you will stay very busy keeping up with their orders because most chefs don't have a BE account and can't get it with their chef because it requires too many skill points. Just what ever you do, keep the product rolling in the factories because chefs are dependent and can't make their products without your products. When they do buy, they will buy in bulk so always have a good supply.

Hope this helps

Yes that is very helpful. I haven't been able to find an experience chef that had time to answer that info.

My first 20 crate run of INN were at +117 (had carn meet with 900's for OQ, PE, FL with everything else at 900's OQ).

If anyone is interested for Intrepid, here is a link to the Trade Forum auction:

Again thanks for the info!

IMO 20cpu is a low estimate on meat but this obviously changes from server to server.

Dath Carn is 20-25cpu, but everything else I could never get a decent amount offering close to those prices.
