Hey fellow Chefs!

Ive been testing out this now last week.

Before I had a total of 120..

Now i got 148.

After i got that, ive a significant improvement to my amazings.

So it must be something in it.

How're you getting the +148? All from tapes, or are you counting FS / Research Center / Bespin bonuses too?

SEAs should stop stacking at +25 (total across your entire outfit). So if you're getting more amazings from a +48 outfit than you get with a +25 outfit, that may be a bug (so there's no guarantee how long it'll last).

I noticed a significant difference in amazings after getting to +25 with tapes, I noticed an even bigger one after getting force experimentation. If your goal is getting 12 point amazings, I'd certainly recommend getting whatever bonuses you can get after those 12 points (bespin, research center, top quality station and tools) but I doubt going over the cap with tapes does anything, since if it did... you'd see more points to experiment with like you do as a 14 point artisan.

I am intrigued by this new info, although I am cautiously pessimistic about it at the moment. I agree with what has already been said: If they capped the Exp bonus at +25, then most likely the way the code works is that the system completely disregards anything over 25. I cant imagine that they would take the time to code in an extra exception that allows more points to affect amazings.

BUT.....I dont know anything for certain. I would certainly like to see some VERY specific data on this. Craft the exact same item 30 times in a row, using the exact same experimentation points at in the same order on the same attributes...and do this for eacuh suit configuration....and that would be a start. Just saying that you noticed a difference isnt enough to make it a reality to a lot of us. Dont get me wrong bud, I am interested as hell to find out if you are right. But I need a little more info.

Anyone else wanna chime in on this?

The extra +48 is from tapes.

I do not have FS etc...

I know the cap is 25, but i just wanted to test out this, and it did actually give me better results.

So its not about the exp points, but the chances of amazings.

I just said what i experienced.

after having +25 i got up to +48 in total.

And i got far more amazings than i had at +25.

Luck... maybe.. but it was significant more.

Yes but how did you test this is what we would like to know.

Did you just seem to notice more ammazings

or did you actually test it by crafting 25 Brandy's for example w/ out the tapes keeping track of the amazings and then crafting 25 Brandy's w/ the extra points keeping track of the Amazings? If you did it this way what where your numbers for each?

Now i got 148.
