What is more important when looking for resources, higher Potential Energy or Overall Quality?

It depends, but i really dont have the knowhow to explain in more details..

..but i will vote PE...

Depends on what sort of attributes you prefer. AFAIK, OQ affects several areas in a small way (rarely more than 33%, but often in two or three areas), while PE seems to often have a big effect on nutrition (66%)and quantity (75%). So, it depends on what food you'd like to make, and which attributes you think are most important. Personally I'd go for PE though I like my resources to have high numbers in all stats. At least a mean ((OQ+PE+Fla+DR)/4) over 700, and the highest stats in PE and OQ.

If you take a look at http://home.comcast.net/~sciguyco/swg/FoodChart.htm


This lists what %s are used by what *buff/duration/filling/quantity* for each resource..

This is the easiest chart to pre-plan what resource qualities to look for when purchasing for certain recipes. I usually use PE/OQ (as most,not all foods atm seem to benefit most from a higher nutrional value)

I love that chart...it's been my best friend since I started chef a few weeks ago.

OQ + PE. Not one or the other.

it all depends on what you feel your food should be. (ie. nutritious, flavorful, dietetic, bulk)

My current rating (though, I truly hate to share), is based on my personal weighting of 1/2 nutrition, 1/3 flavorful, and 1/6 caloriie conscious. I judge my resources at .33 PE + .24 DR + .22 Flavor + .21 OQ, but that's me.
