NOTES
* All information in this guide may change until the release and after. The info is accurate for the above date
* This guide contains information that may spoil your gaming experience
* The buffs varies depending on resources used, success rate and experimentation. The buff list in this guide lists the values without any experimentation and using random resources. The values WILL vary ALOT depending on those 3 factors. Please use the list only to get information on base values
* Everything herein is just my personal experience and opinion so if you dont like it don't read
* This guide assumes you know the basics of crafting
So you want to become a Chef ?
The Chef profession is the buffer in SWG or at least the one providing most of the buffs. The food and drink that a chef make provide an increase to various statistics during a certain amount of time for the consumer.
You can eat and drink multiple food/drink items and the effects stack but you also have 1 drink bar and 1 food bar which show you the limit on how much you can eat and drink, after that you have to wait for the food to digest until you can eat more. The Chef profession has not been very popular during the beta, I'd venture to say I was the only Master Chef during that time. But it has been fun and rewading for me, even if it wasn't economicaly viable I enjoyed Roleplaying as an Expert Bartender in the cantinas.
To become a Chef you have to train Novice Artisan and then climb up the Domestics tree which also includes clothing items, during this stage you get General Crafting XP. At Novice Chef and up you recieve food crafting XP. The xp you get for each item is easy to calculate as it is the resources x 2 in 96% of the cases (only a few recipes yield more or less xp).
The resources you will be working with are organic so you will be out in the wilderness with your flora surveying tool most of the time sampling for organics, some recipes also require inorganics in small amounts.
For meat, hide and bones you will need to do some creature slaying, and then extract those from the corpses, for this you will need to train Novice scout or you can buy them from other players.
One of the biggest problems for a Chef is MILK, during the beta milk has been mostly nonexistent. It seems that some NPC's have milk on their loot table but very rare and in low amounts.
Ok so you have some resources...now it is time to cook, you can use the Generic Crafting Tool at start but you will want to make or buy a Food and Chemical Crafting Tool sooner or later.
For those who will want to grind xp as fast as possible just look for the recipe with the most and easiest to get resources and start clicking. Later on if you got the cash buy some Flora Farms and a Food & Chemicals Factory. These require power and credits for maintenance, a factory is also a must for the higher level recopes which require identical subcomponents that only a factory can provide.
Food and experimentation:
This is no guide to experimentation just a few notes.
If you dont like to spend time looking for the best resources for a certain recipe just go for the resources with the best overall quality.
You got 3 values to experiment on
1. Flavor and Texture which allows you to increase the duration of the effect
2. Nutritional Value which increases the power of the positive buff and decreases the side effect
3. Quantity which gives your food additional charges

Crafted Food/Drink Buff list
You have 9 statistics in 3 groups (red, green and blue)
RED -------- Health, Strength, Constitution
GREEN --- Action, Quickness, Stamina
BLUE ------ Mind, Focus, Willpower
As far as I know it works like this ....very simple said strength affects how much health you loose when using health draining actions like berzerk skill and constitution affects how fast you regenerate health.
It is the same for action and mind.
Dont mind the numbers in ( ) those represented additional buffs to all other statistics beside the main one and it is currently buged after they fixed the experimentation bug.
For example:
A crafter sampling for resources will use lots of Action points, a good quickness buff will help you lose less action points, adding a stamina buff will make you regenerate those points faster.
A medic will use alot of mind points when using his skills so those mind buffs are good for him.
Regardless of all this the Chefs best customer is the Creature Handler who feeds his pets with your delicius food.

**edit** dude awesome work . I cut and paste your entire article soon as I saw it . Invalueable information .
You are one of the few players that currently realizes the value of these buffs . HUGE edge in combat and crafting , too !
Thanks again and fantastic work . Not on the Bria server by any chance are ya ? lol
A BIG SUGGESTION IS TO CUT THE FOOD BUFF LIST AND POST IT TO YOUR RESPECTIVE SERVERS....
IT IS OUR JOB TO EDUCATE THE SERVER POPULACE TO THE BENEFITS OF OUR FOOD...
EDUCATE THEM AND YOU WILL SEE AN INCREASE IN SALES...
T'illa-T'iil [30 hurlotrombic, 30 methanagen, 30 hydron-3 inert gas, 3 identical alcohol]
Hurlotrombic sounds like something from a Dr. Seuss book. What the hell is it?
), and I have prepared a similar "welcome newbie text". Not so detailed, but don't be surprised once it happens, the content is quite similar.Good work neithertheless, although it's quite wrong in the chef forum (we know the benefits). You should x-post in the other 32 profession forums. j/k
not all of these are right
I noticed alot of the desserts are reading back the wrong stats on this then what im crafting
For example
Dweezle is 105 willpower stamina this says its just 70 willpower.
Our esteemed chef correspondent posted this link.
http://www.draconiscoire.org/cheftable.htm
I think thistable is better thenthis one. Mainly because it hasa much nicer layout.
Also this one has been updated I belive(going by date at top of guide) heres the link.
http://swg.allakhazam.com/db/guides.html?guide=70
One thing to remember is that a lot depends on your resources.
For example, wastril bread. If I use poor resources I got +30 stamina before experimentation, just like it says here. When I use the best resources I can find I get +50 stamina).
You might enjoy this, Dakar. Definitely needs lots of editing. lazychump/beav is gonna need to work his iron wrist a little more to get me some valid data!
