Chef Archive

Thanks everyone I think i got a plan now.

First off let me say that I've read the FAQ's and everything else stickied to the top, so please dont flame me about that *cowers in fear*

Ok so I want to be a chef.(no holo incloved in case you were wondering)I would like to grind there as soon as i can, unfortunately im a little short on creds. So what i need to know is what i should get first that will make me a profit while i work my way to master.

After reading the FAQ and looking at that nifty little website that tells what foods do what i think my best bet would to be get mixology 2 firstso i can sell tatooine sunburns. Then what? I read that its a good idea to mix food and drinks together, so what food might go well with that? Anything that will bring in some $$$ to keep me afloat on my way.

Thanks in advance, and if this has been asked before im sorry, but i did make an effort to look for it.

What I did when starting out, is I did missions until I got enough for harvesters. Then, when I harvested, I would sell half of what I harvested for 2 or 3 or 4 credits a unit. I did this until I reached Mixology II when I could start making real money. I was making money as a chef before that, but not as fast as selling a portion of the resources.

/agree with Sirvimes

I ran survey missions for almost a day, which gave me about 50,000 credits (assuming you have Pistol 4, if not, you'll make about 25,000 credits). That gives you enough to start up with a solar harvester and 3 organic harvesters, which will get you going well on a solid vein of cerial & fruit.

After that it's your choice to run survey missions to cover the cost of the harvesting (that would cost about 6 survey missions per day to maintain) or sell off your harvest. If your grinding, then you will probably need all the resources you can bring in.

I totally agree about speeding to Mix2 to make Tat Sunburns. That's what I did, although I'm still poor...

ok I could never figure out why I got so much more with one character than another on survey missions...totally off topic but **edit** does pistol 4 have to do with a survey mission?/boggle

Unless they updated it in a patch, the only thing that determins what level missoins you can get is your level of pistol skill. Why? I guess it was easier to code that way? As soon as you hit pistol 4, you get the 1,800 credit missions for more specific resource types (at least I think they're more specific).

bah thats about stupid..what does artisan or dancer or surveyor have to do with pistol skill..they should be based on the appropriate skill type or they kinda defeat the point...really lame imo

Just so you know, it's not just pistol. If you have the "Weapon IV" skillin pistol, rifle, carbine, 1-handed, 2-handed, pike, or unarmed, having an appropriate weapon equipped (or unequipped for unarmed, I guess) gives you the higher level survey missions. I'm going up fencer and get the better missions when I have a sword equipped.

My guess is that they used the same mission difficulty code as the destroy missions. Which is a completely bass-ackwards way of doing it.
