Thread: New chef question
well ive been grinding this long road so call Master Chef and i was wondering if anyone could give me a idea what the other master chefs in the galaxies sell (i know all the chefs sell Tatooine Sunburns so you don't need to say that one) but i was just trying to get a idea on whats actually worth the time selling. Also if your willing how much do you usually charge for a crate of "X" food???
im not trying to compete with anyone i just want to get a rough idea on whats worth selling and how much to sell it for(don't want to make it too cheap but not too expensive either).
Cant say anything about prices cause each of us has his own table. But my top bussiness are in:
1.- Fishaks Surprises (No doubt, i have 2 factories doing them non stop)
2.- Bivoli Temparis (Carnivore meat is a pain)
3.- BoH (Awesome for TK´s)
4.- Tatooine Sunburns (I hate to compete with novice chefs in this drink, but people buys it)
5.- Pet Food (YAY! the most stupid and easy to make food sells really well)
6.- Fiend Icecreams.
Dont worry about competition, there is no way we can compete between us, there are LOTS of people buying foods in each server and we only can support a few regular customers and some sporadic ones. For a good chef is hard to keep the vendor stockedand sometimes is even impossible to attend all the orderswe receive.
The big 5 for me is Fishak, BoH, Bivoli, Glazed Glucose Pate, and Vegeparsine.
I sell a fair amount of other stuff, enough to warrant having crates of 5, 10, and 25 on my vendor...but the big 5 are the big business...of course I am also in BFE. ![]()
I just sold my first crate of sunburns in about a month today. LOL
you're right about Corbantis - it may seem like not a lot of people are buying food there when compared to the business you hear being done on other servers, i.e. Bria. There's not many of us on Corbantis from what I hear. But the few Master Chefs that we do have are very good and seem to be doing very well. Which tells me that the market on Corbantis is still wide open for up coming chefs - as far as pricing...that's a hard one. You could go by resources (5-6 for hunted resources, 3-4 for mined resources). You could also go by level of the buff, i.e. Tatooine Sunburns automatically sell for more than the cost of the resources because the buff is just nutz! but what you charge for the buff definitely depends on the chef. You might need to run around the galaxy and check out the other chef vendors to find out what they're selling stuff for.(look on planetary map for food vendors) Most of the chefs are nice people - though for some reason, I always catch them afk cause no one ever answers me ingame.
Here's someone's attempt at pricing foods - though I think this chart might've come from the 'beta' times. You could go off of this - I use this sometimes:

Anyways - this is my longest post in a long time...wow - that was tiring. Corbantis needs more chefs - if you're wondering who they were, here's a link:
