Problem is the lack of all Elite Profession trainers on the TC5 server. That way noone can actually test the real Chef foods only the Artisan ones for now.

Once the Char builders get enabled to actually let us train Elite Profs (or hell, let us grind up to Master Chef at least), we'll get more infos about what the new/old foods do.

I think that the point isn't that the testers aren't giving us info... the point is that the devs aren't, and they most certainly should be.

I think they're still tweaking the HAM and all other systems, so before they start to tweak stuff that affects HAM and all, they should finish there first.
Otherwise our foods can end up overpowered (would just call for a nerf very soon, and usually make that stuff unusable in the future) or it will end up worthless from the start.

It is frustrating but understandable. The HAM system is still being implemented, and the stats buff haven't even been implemented on TC5 yet.

Its a case of waiting to see.

Hi Higginsis, have you communictated to the devs that the chefs are currently wanting to know what SOE's "plans" or "direction" is with regard to chef? Clearly the foods have to change. They must be able to give us some feeling for just how bad this nerf is going to be.

An official post from a dev would be a start. I am not really interested in the sit around and wait and see approach. I doubt many of the chefs are, although I do admit it may come down to that. In the latter case, I am certainly closer to hanging it up.

Thanks for whatever info you can release.

I've voiced the concerns about food stats and mind stats buffs, i've not had a responce as yet.

I'll be sure to update the community the minute i find any info out.

I would not call every change a nerf.
We might have to change our menus though, Vasarian Brandy and Ahrisa might not be the big sellers anymore, but after a while other products will have established themselves, I'm sure of that.

I'm a doc and in this respect (augmentations) we have something in common andI'm a huge advocate of foods/drink.

I came to this forum looking for a list of foods/drinks that will be converted, or if not converted, will become obsolete. In my profession, I use a lot of foods/drinks, but with the changes in HAM and skill mods, I'm afraid my foods will be useless.

Foods with no associated skill in the CU:

Bivoli

Havla

Foods/Drinks with no associated stat in the CU:

kiwik klusjo swirls

ahrisa

canapes (1/2 the mod)

Can anyone tell me if these will be converted to useful items or will I just be SOL ?

We can't fully answer your question yet as on TC-5 they haven't enabled elite professions, so we can't make chef foods yet.

However based upon the data we have from the Artisan foods and drinks, You will not be able to eat multiple bites or drink multiple sips of the same food or beverage after the CU ( No more 2 sips of brancy, 3 bites of canape, 3 bites of ahrissa, etc. ).

However to their new game effects we don't know and they don't even give us stats for the food and drink of Artisan when crafting. Its going to be hard knowing what to do.

Huggis needs to push a bit more...but I'm sure they're tryin....
