Thread: Big patch on TC
And guess what... the world Chef isn't even mentioned in the patch notes. 
Tis another sad day to be a chef.
We did get this though:
The problem with food stacks sometimes becoming inedible has been fixed. This should work retroactively with previously broken food stacks.
Yah I noticed that, but still. This should have been hotfixed with a few days of being reported.

I was hoping for some real love....

Test center, the server they put the new changes on before uploading it to all the other servers. Will take a couple of days before we get the new stuff also i guess.
I gotta agree with Potillian here, its shameful that there was no mention of our profession at all.
Not sure how much more I personally can take. I don't mind waiting, but the lack of communication is very disheartening.

Dancer - Increased the effect of dance mind buffs. A master can now increase a stat up to double of its base value. Maximum durations have been increased to 2 hours.
Musician - See Dancer changes above.

Well, one requirement of the 2 hour duration (unless they changed this also), it's going to take 1 hour of watching/listening to get it. And maybe this will reduce the sting a little, but it's not entertainers, only the elite classes (Musician and Dancer) get the mind enhancement skills. Of course, umm, /whisper the buff ability is included in a single skill branch, just like spices and doctor buffs.
Now one thing we can try is to see if chef food can enhance the entertainer buff. If they eat 2 or 3 ormacheks, will the buffed mind/focus/willpower get doubled? Can this be done right at the end before you stop watching, and when the ormachek wears off, what will the final buff be?
Now this was just a quantitative change to a Musician/Dancer skill. They just doubled the buff size (went from a max of 50% bonus to 100% bonus) and quadrupled the duration (used to max out at 30 minutes with 15 minutes of watching). This must be easier than redoing 100+ chef recipes.
Crap, I just looked back at that, and can't believe it myself. How about giving all chef foods the same double buff size (excluding sunburn) and quadruple duration modification. Do you think that'd make us competetive? Or should we wait for a more careful shuffling of effects? I mean, food can encompass a wide range of effects: bigger buff/short duration (desserts), med buff/med duration (mixology), smaller buff/long duration (entrees) with values of bigger/short/medium/smaller/long also dependent on skill level.
Lets see....schematics are fixed at a 100 max.
2 100 run schematics for Aludium yields a magical total of ONE crate of breath of heaven per factory run (33 items total). 3 schematics working together to make ONE!
I'm guessing that I'm not going to sell anymore BoH crates after the patch goes
