Did my resource run and bought more ingredients off of bazaar. While there, I take my obligatory glance through the food and drink section and what do I see?


Breath of Heaven 3

hate these boards...


anyhow, to continue:


Breath of Heaven 3 800 credits


Breath of Heaven 3 800 credits


Breath of Heaven 3 800 credits


Breath of Heaven 3 800 credits


Breath of Heaven 3 800 credits


While I'm not one to bitch about other people's pricing as everyone has their own playstyle, Master Chefs selling the top-tier drink for 267 credits per serving doesn't bode well for the profession as a whole. Particularly when the drink requires 270 resources per stack (assuming p36 is used), (the price works out to under 3 credits per resource used), and there are only a handful of people even capable of making the drink on the entire server.

Was it one serving of Breath of Heaven 3 or 3 servings of Breath of Heaven?
I guess you could make it for 90 resources, I have never tried.
What were the stats on it?
We have had problems on the Scylla server with spoofed Items named Tat Sunburn, the stats on these fake sunburns buff are variable like foraged or looted foods.

I guess you can sell for whatever you want, I do. When you get below 5 per resource I start to feel like I'm working for free, but thats just me.

They were stacks of 3 servings of BoH. +356 buff for 430ish seconds.


That would lead me to believe that aludium was used.

If it's a master, you can get that using Kylessian Fruit Distillate, however, you can charge 5cr per resource used, and still come out at under 800cr a stack using aludian's (that's generally how I price - 2cr per unit used over my unit cost)

I don't understand your math, Fatgit.


BoH = 6 factory alcohol + 30 cereals.


Aludium p36 = 40 resources each.


6 x 40 + 30 = 270.


... and that doesn't includethe energy used in the factory run.


Not mathematically possible to get 5 credits per resource for Aludium-made BoHs at 800 per stack.

who wants to buy Breath of Heaven anyways?


even if you experiment it up to +600 600 600 I cant find anyone who would take it over a Rythcate.



I means my Rythcate lasts 512 seconds and buffs 410 foc qui str just eat two at a time.


a breath of heaven on top of that is just over kill...



Right now im selling my Rythcate 2000c for a stack of 4 and cant keep the in stock.. they out sell my Tatoonie Sunburns because people use em two at a time.



I made breath of heavens they are +560 of each for 422 seconds in a stack of 3 they're on myy vender for 1000c and no one has yet to buy them.

Depends on the individual. I have some customers that need the buffs from both veghash and ryshcate to offset armor penalties. Given the contraints on 'fullness', many people choose ryshcate + veghash + BoH over 2 ryshcate.

What you need to do is e-mail or /tell the person who was selling those for so cheap that they are undercutting you and every other chef, including themself. When they sell cheaper than what they make them for.


I play a chef on the same server as Jonzun and I use his prices as a reference.


Most chefs don't realize they are only charging per resources, not TIME, TRAVEL, MAINTENENCE, and TOOLS.

Please ...your b*itchin about food prices ... hell I can't give food away. I hung out for an hour at each cantina on Naboo the other night offering free food and drinks. I had three takers! The whole time. I have two vendors listed on the map. I might sell a few items a day if I'm lucky.Even then Ihave to price very low to sellanything. Foraged foods sell better and for more than crafted foods.


Granted I'm not a far enought into chef to make theonly item everyone seems to want (Sunburns).


Chef is a joke if only a 1/4 of players use it. I'm about to drop it myself.
