Hi, I'm just about to start working my way up to Master Chef and have been looking through the various recipes. What I haven't got my head around is how I know which resource attributes are important for a specific resource within a given recipe.
I've not explained that very well so take for example Vasarian Brandy (as it's so common).
Looking at the food chart in the sticky post, it requires
2 identical alcohol (10 cereal each)
20 fruits
20 berries
1 container
It also list the following
Filling: DR 75%, OQ 25%
Flavour: Fla 66%, OQ 33%
Nutrition: Fla 66%, OQ 33%
Quantity: DR 25%, PE 75%
But how do I know which of the ingredients need to be high in which of those attributes? Do both berries and fruits need to have high DR/OQ/FL/PE, or is it somehow split between them (so maybe berries need high dr/oq and fruits need fl/pe)?
I just don't understand what I'm looking at with those percentages
******
My second question is regarding the sub components. I've read that the quality of the materials used in the sub components doesn't affect the outcome of the final item. Is that also true of containers, as I'd assume a cheapo container would be able to hold less food/drink? Or do I just need good fruits and berries to make higher quantities (ie the container quality is irrelevant to the number of doses in a bottle)?
I know I'll find the second one out by trying, but I thought I'd save time and resources by asking first
Thanks in advance :x

In the case of Brandy, the FL/PE/OQ of the berries/fruits are equally important because the recipe calls for equal amounts of each resource. So half the PE contribution comes from the berries, half from the fruits (basically you average them). For recipes with different units required for multiple resources, it scales based on the each resource's contribution. So for Ahrisa (20 greens, 10 flowers), the PE of the greens contributes 2/3rds of the PE/OQ/FL. But every resource contributes to every stat used in the final calculation, just not always equally.
The quality of the resources for all subcomponents makes no difference in the final product. A cask always gives you 3x the number of uses as a small glass, even if you used perfect gemstone in the glass and crap resources in the cask.
