Thread: Gah, brain dumps HURT!
Ok, this was something I've been thinking of doing for a while, and some comments by Naturner and fatgit got me going on it today.
I present: Chef FAQ 2, Electric Boogaloo
It came out a bit longer than I expected, so I thought I'd post it in my personal web space for review before dumping that monster into the forums. I even...."borrowed" the Lithium style sheet, to make it look right.
Let me know what you think. Any corrections, additions, or comments are welcome.
Great work! If I had known that one prod would have done it (with help from fatgit), then I'd have prodded you a long time ago 
The only addition that I would make is adding the Merchant FAQ to the links/vendors area, since most of us use merchant skills and there are valuable things to know like the advertising branch and /mailsave once chefs get into advanced sales. Also a brief note why foods beat down spices would be good too.
Again, it's the best profession faq I've seen so far, congrats!

Should read fruit I believe. You may also want to make sure you calculated your total resources needed for the grind to master Chef, as I saw no mention of fruit there at all.
/doh!
You're right. I got fruit and water mixed up when I did the resource calculation, I blame the Ithorian Mist grind for wiping out the Wastrils in my memory. I got it right in the "best xp" listing, but not the total resource list. It's fixed now.
I hadn't done much with the formatting because I did intend to put this as a post here, but keeping it as a webpage also isn't a bad idea. The only problem I foresee is that the links back to the forum may not get authenticated, which means after the reader goes through the login information, they're at the main forum index instead of the linked page.
Under what gives the best xp/what resources will I need
"To reach Mixology II using only Wastril Bread in practice mode, you will need to make 1053 breads, for a total of 37k cereal and 10.5k WATER. Cereal is a generic flora type that includes wheat, corn, oats, and rice."

Read about 1/2 through from the top, didn't notice anything else out of place, good job
May want to make some margins or something for the webpage, as I found it annoying to read all the way across my monitor, unless you don't plan on keeping that page up but putting it in a post. I would think keeping it on a website would make it more useful as you can update sections as the game evolves.

OK, I've done some editing, additions, and stripped out the heinous html added by Word (I know, I know, but it was the only wysiwyg HTML editor I had handy). I did a quick preview test, and it turns out I'm *way* over the 20k character postlimit. Anyone know ifan bookmark will work if they're in separate posts? I'm assuming it will, since these would be the first few posts in the thread, so they won't get split over separate pages.
As long as your post doesn't span more than a page, it *should* work. What the hey, try it anyway, worst case it isn't sticky.
