I am not a Chef but I was wondering if the Master Chef's have seen an increase in the demand of Garrmorl and Accarragm lately?
I am normally hunting harder creatures or fighting in some of the harder lairs so I am normally fully buffed. Because of this, I have maxxed out mymindstats and minned my Health, Action, etc to 400.
Now likeI said above, whenever I am going to be logged on for more then an hour, I get buffed. However, there are many times that I log on and I know that I only have a limited amount of time to play. When this happens, I normally tryto check on my harvestors orI will attempt to do some looting at some lower end mobs. However, because of mylow health/action stats, I can get incappedvery easily. So I have been looking around for some Garrmorland Accarragm, butI havn't been able to find any.
So I was wondering if my scinerio is unique and so there isn't a demand for those two drinks or if the demand for those two drinks has been rising lately.

I do have hunters that come to me because I supply foods that are used for unbuffed hunting. However, I do not carry garrmorl and I do not recommend accaragm. Garrmorl has a flawed componentrequirement that causes it to come out with less than desireable results and accaragm is a very nice buff (+394 action,quickness & stamina for 45 mins,18 use,50 filling), but it has very high filling, which makes it hard to use effectively with other foods.Accaragm users are almost solely entertainers who need high action bars for buffing etc.
For unbuffed hunting, Irecommend Won Won: +465 strength &constitution for10 mins,6 use,33 filling and Kiwik Clusjo: +599 quickness & stamina for 10min 16sec, 6 use, 33 filling. Supplement with some 5 filling blob candy (action +)and bofa treat(health +) to boost your main stats when needed and you are all set for unbuffed hunting. For very quick trips through dangerous areas of to save your neck when unexpectedly attacked I recommend poppingeither 2 vercupti (+1041 health, action and mind for 7 min, 2 use,50 filling) or 1 vercupti and a synthsteak (+44 dmg reduction for 36 attacks, 28 filling).
My $.02. Good luck to ya.

wow thats some nice Won-won and swirls.
I find that Garmorl sells ok, crate or 2 and 5-10 singles a week.
Accargym goes about 5-8 crates and about 20 singles a week.
pretty popular, but not in the big 10 or so.

My guilds city is in the middle of nowhere on Lok. So my workshop is there, and my small guild often doesn't have any doctors out there when I log on. If I log and want to do some surveying I'll take a Garmorl and Accargam and generally come out fine as long as no Giant Dune Kimogila come after me. Just being Swordsman/Weaponsmith I actually hold up pretty well as long as I don't spam special attacks, and have taken on spawns of Mercenaries with out buffs. Of course using dmg reducing food.

Thanks Nico! I have been looking around for quite some time and I hadn't seen this stuff around. (Probably checked about 20+ different food shops)
I'll try and pick some up tonight.
Thanks again.

Actually I have to disagree with Won-Won and Swirl.
They are as bad for regular use as Canape. It lasts 10 minutes max and has 33% filling (which takes almost 15 mins to digest for a single dose if you take 2 or 3 you're still to full to take even 1 more after the one runs up) They are good for short time use, but if you plan to hunt 20 minutes or longer, you usually don't wnat them
Gruuvan Shaal and Scrimpi are nice here. 33% filling, 45 minutes around 400 buff on Strenght or Quickness. So to say they are the Ahrisa for Health and Action. Reduces your HAM costs in those areas, and last long enough to have an empty stomach once you need them again (and you don't have to watch them all the time, once your brandy drops they drop as well). They need Reptilian and Herbivore Meat though 
Also Accarragm. High filling? Well sure you can't drink 2 brandies then, but it has the around same stats as brandy (if you're using resources that are around the same quality), just for Action, so why should it be lower?
I know a few people who like this for hunting unbuffed: 1 Gruuvan Shaal, 1 Accarragm, 1 Brandy. Not to overly much increase the HAM Pools, but to reduce the HAM costs of specials. One of them is a pikeman who usually have HAM cost too high to use unbuffed. with those 3 foods she can usually use them, at less then half the costs. (and she has only 33% foodfilling so could use 2 more Gruuvan, Scrimpi, Ahrisa as well, if the HAM costs in one of those areas would be too high)
Fighting unbuffed is about managing your HAM costs, its not about eliminating them (you're usually not able to, at least not all 3 at once over a long time), and its not about increasing your HAM pools or regeneration to a value where you regenerate faster than you take damage. Its also not about being able to wear your full suit of80% composite. That armor was never made and designed for everytime use. Even if you can wear it, you'll havehighly increasedHAM costs again, that the protection of it usually is more than negated once you start spamming specials. No using food for unbuffed/unarmored fightsis about that you can use specials without killing yourself.
And yes, some people also want Garrmorl. I'll only do it on special orders though and usually have them required to get me some decent OQ bones and scaley hide

Smugglers Delights+muon for mind, along with ahirsa and canapes..
Gamorri for health, acc for action..
Better yet? won won and swirls with a duration addative (+275 for 17 minutes, thus a constant buff)instead of smugglers delights and canapes if you can get entertainer buff's easier. (and your chef has milk to spare!)
