Wow, I thought grinding Architect was crazy, but this takes the cake (or should I say Wastril Bread). I told myself in the very beginning that I would go all the way up the Experimental line before I started doing the fun new foods, so I could at least make decent stuff. Well, with one box to go, I think my corn would have been better tossed around Theed to feed giant Peko Pekos...

Yeah, I read the post from Q about balancing food in the game, but he didn't mention much about the experimentation with food. For example, my Wastril Bread I'm spitting out right now starts off with a STA bonus of 34. With my current seven skill points, I can get it to a whopping 80. I'm kinda guessing this is from using crappy grain/fruit (although it's above 500/800 OQ). If I shove all of it into quanity, I get an equally whoppingfour (thus gaining two more per combine). I so wanted the experimentation on food to be worthwhile...

So, is anyone else having these poor, poor results? Is there any hope that when I get those last two points that it will make all the difference?

(quick note -- if you grind Wastril Bread up an entire Chef line, it takes roughly 98,192 cereal)

I can easily double the effects of most foods. Wastril bread goes to about 130ish or 12 uses.

Anyone coming from a background of architect has no idea about grinding. Its the only non-grinding crafter profession. The rest all get to have grinding fun(some more than others)

Dang, that must be some bad grain/fruit you are using. I can regularly get four uses on the initial combine.

The stats of the resources matter a lot in cooking. Certainly to a much greater extent than they do in architecture unless you are making crafting stations or something.

However, I will be the first to agree with you that cooking experimentation can be discouraging.

I'm only at Cooking 2 and on Wastril Bread I can get the buff to around 90 or get 9 uses per stack with the ingrediants I am using.

Right now the chef is really getting screwed by SOE. Factories broke, only 100 items per 24 hours, no milk, bugged recipes, no medium or large flora harvestors. This is the short list. I will stay for a little longer, but I will not accept this abuse much longer. Chefs need some love.
