Thread: Is a 66 charge of (BE) Vas Brandy possible?
Message Edited by DoveAthodo on 02-23-2004 05:51 PM
using medium replicating tissue,AND a cask, AND experimenting on quantity, it should be possible.
Misterie
The real question is why someone would go to so much effort to produce so much of a mediocre product.

sure, if you forego quality of buff by experimenting on quantity, and again decrease quality by using a quantity supplement instead of nutrition, you can get stacks pushing 90.

I've made 71 charges of +200/40 minute brandy. I didn't do a factory run of it, but for some people +200 is more than enough, so I did a run with small glasses. It sold quite well at 225cr a use (I charge 500cr a use for my BE brandy). I got 7 charges with small glasses and 21 when I use casks for BE brandy.
My ranger/CH/pistoleer alt can use +200 and her mind bar doesn't move at all, even when spamming specials. Now personally I wouldn't bother with BE tissues for quantity and casks just to get a huge stack of +200. It's more cost effective to just use small glasses.

That was really my point... if +200 is enough for you, fine. But why go to the terrible expense of the quantity additive? It's cheaper and simpler just to make Brandy straight in 4x the quantity. BE Nutrition additives are the only thing that justify the added effort and expense.
O was trying to say that if you dont need nutrition enhanced brandy then using a qty enhanced brandy is actually cheaper per use.

I gotta say... I don't think that the market isstrong enough (on my server)to sell crates of mediocre VB with high charges per single at a sacrifice of the buff. I could be wrong.
I think that the best market for high quantity foods/drinks lies in pet foods/drinks and perhaps those nifty biscuits which grant a bonus to terrain negotiation. Just my opinion though 
I made Brandy with 88 charges, and a respectable (200 ish) buff.
I think it's a very viable product.
I took a tour of a bunch of other Chefs, and to be honest this stuff killed their product. Alot of them had stuff with about the same buff and only around 10 charges (that must be some seriously poor resources).
I have had requests for large dosage brandy specifically, so it can be used as a full time buff.
Probably best to have both types available.
Its a pity that its so much more of a pain to make the quantity enhancer than it is the quality enhancer.
