I want to max out my chef on assembly/experimentation. in order to do this how do i need to spread out my suit? I know that you can get sockets on boots, pants, shirt, vest, gloves, hat, and bandolier. so what is the suggested way to do it? basically what do you have on each piece of your clothing set? I don't want to buy tapes to start out with and then end up not using them at all.

• +6 exp bandolier


• +5 exp/+5 assembly apron


• +1 exp/+1 assembly hat


• +8 assembly boots


• +2 exp/+2 assembly gloves


• +3 exp belt


• +1 exp/+2 assembly shirt


• +2 exp pants

little?! havn't seen you in months, when did you go back to chef? remember you dropping it durring the holo grind, didn't figure you would go back. I took a 3 month vacation from the game and everything is gone haywire, actually havn't seen a good chef since i've been back, luckily i have a few crates of the important stuff in my travel pack from before

No need to caps on Ass really.

I have a +8 hat, +7 Sash, +5 shirt and a apron.

Looks swish aswell.

Chefs don't need assembly tapes. The initial combination on items makes no difference in quality of the item. A great is as good as a amazing.

It only helps on not getting critical failures, which means besically nothing as we don't work with any rare components.

But it has been suggested that amazing assemblies make amazing experimentations easier to get, though the validity of those suggestions hasn't been proved either way.

I've always found that if I get an amazing assembly, I end up getting a crit. failure on the next experimentation attempt. It doesn't sound like anyone else has had this issue, but it's almost without fail. Amazing assembly...7 points experimented into something...BIG c.f. It's gotten to the point where I pray for nothing but great assemblies. However, it does seem that after I get one crit fail and complete crafting the item, the next item I experiment on will usually give up at least one amazing. Maybe I'm just bugged, but this is been the way it's gone basically since I started crafting.

How about the famed "critical successes"? they are far better than great or amazing, in fact skinnymando, was the best (in many people's opinion) AS on valcyn would honestly grind out components for hours trying to get a critical success, and when he did they were well worth it from what i saw in his posts on the AS forums. try searching for it on the AS forums if you have no idea what a critical success is

I've heard of critical successes, but I've never experienced one of these. Have any of you other chefs?
