I'm sorry if this is right infront of my face, but I can't find an easy to read list of what resources I should be stocking up on.

Preferably with the stats that affect the finished product to.

Can anyone please send me in the right direction?

thank you

It's titled:

Read this! Yes, you with the question, click this first (Chef guides and tools)

This message is up top with the rest of the stickies. It contains links to questions about resources needed, amounts of XP, which trees to get first, lists of foods and what they do, and even pricing guides.

Ok, I checked this out but I really didn't see any simple lists of What the main resources I should be stocking up on are. I mean, there was a list of every chef item and their resource requirement, I its hard to read that and know which resources to collect, since many are repeated, some aren't really needed since no one buys those items etc etc.

Is there just a list?

Like:

Fiberplast - Oq 50% Sr 50%

Aluminium - Cond 25% Sr 25% Oq 50%

?

Sorry to be so much trouble, but this would help A Lot! thanks

WHAT GIVES THE BEST XP

Novice Chef: Soypro, 10 cereal, 10 vegetable, 80 xp (84 in practice mode).
Desserts I: Pastebread, 20 wheat, 10 oats, 10 water, 160 xp (168 in practice mode).
Entrees I: Synthsteak: 20 vegetables, 20 cereal, 5 hide, 180 xp (189 in practice mode).
Desserts III: Kiwik Clusjo Swirl: 40 berries, 20 fruits, 20 water, 260 xp (278 in practice mode).

One trick to get faster xp at Novice is to actually create the soypro (don't use practice mode), then after you've made up a bunch, eat them all. Soypro is a component, so it has 0 filling, and you get UXP for eating the last dose of your own food. So instead of getting 84 xp by grinding in practice mode, you'll get 120 by crafting and eating it.

The simplest grind path is Soypro -> Pastebread -> Kiwik Swirl. I just threw in the synthsteak in case you happen to have a bunch of hides lying around and already have Entrees I.

WHAT RESOURCES WILL I NEED?

For soypro, vegetables and cereal. For Pastebread wheat, oats, and water. For Kiwik Swirl berries fruits and water.

To get from Novice Chef to Desserts I by grinding soypro in practice mode requires making 391 soypro, requiring 3910 vegetables and 3910 cereal. If you do the "craft and eat" method (getting you 120 xp instead of 84), you will make 267 soypro requiring 2670 vegetables and 2670 cereal.

To get from Desserts I to Desserts III grinding pastebread requires making 610 breads. This means you will need 12200 wheat, 6100 oats and 6100 water.

To get from Desserts III to Master Chef grinding Kiwik Swirl requires making 2464 swirls. So you'll need 98560 berries, 49280 fruits, and 49280 water.

So, the total grind resources are:

3.9k cereal (any type)
12k wheat
6k oats
98.5k berries
49.3k fruits
55.4k water

Is that not the resources needed for grinding?...

Oops, yes it is. With the amount of people coming in and saying "What do I need to do to grind chef fast so I can drop it?", I got sidetracked. There is a Food chart in there that lists every food and the stuff needed to make it (a link to this chart is also given in the post I directed you to):

I usually use the resource lists at www.swgcraft.com to look at the stats of things to see which will be best. I generally look for bestPE and OQ, then see which of those has the best FL and DR.

Heheh, thanks a lot, I'll check that out

It all depends on what you get the most requests for. I usually stock up on resources needed for bivoli, brandy, canape, accarragm, and ahrisa. I also try to keep a good variety of other things in stock, and they usually trickle out in sales as some of the smarter players know that there are other foods, and they often come in useful in both PVE and PVP.

Cool, I just compiled a quick list of what I need, and there are 34 listings, heh. Going to have to get cracking, thanks again.

For components (resource quality doesn't matter) I tend to stock up on low quality wheat. That will work for making dough, carbosyrup, alcohol, and soypro (along with grind veggies). Get some cheap water for additives and you should have most of your stock covered.

For final products, you'll want a lot of high-quality fruits and berries, veggies (greens tend to have the best stats, tubers are required for a few recipes), carnivore meat, oats, and some sort of hide (for synthsteak)

That should cover the majority of the big sellers. Once you get going, you can start branching out into other resources. I keep an eye on swgcraft (although I wish they'd get the search working again), doing a find on my server for "flora food" with rating based on 33 Flavor, 33 PE, 33 OQ. I check the top 5-10 for anything good, and if it's something I'm out of (or with better stats than my current hoard) I drop a few medium harvesters on it.
