Ok so if we are to believe what we have been told then soon chef is going to get some much needed love. This is a good thing for sure. Problems such as the first chef food being less useful then artisan food( in all fairness eleven experimental points versus 2 is a major reason for this) and the huge amount of grind it takes to advance need attentinon, but I would also like to see a minor change that would make several prof's happy, various kinds of 'buffs'. What I mean is food/drink/spice that does something other then raise a stat, maybe skill boosts or boost run refreshment or increases the speed of cantina healing(not replaces just helps) and let one proffession have stats and the other have misc bonuses or not if it would upset too many people. Also UXP is broken and I believe always has been, either fix it or dump it; just tell us one way or the other. Anyway thoughts, comments.

Yup. Lots of us would like this and quite a few detailed suggestionsalong these lines have been floating around these forums for months. I get the impression though that Chefs are reluctant to ask for too much, and so I have a feeling that we won't be getting too much. Probably just a revamp of the chef tree recipe order and some improved buffs. It'll certainly be an improvement but, long-term, we'll all be wishing they'd given chefs a mixture of stat-buff recipes, skill-buff recipes, special-effect pet food, and NPC-bribe recipes.

Darn it. See how cynical I've become?
