Chef Archive

As a chef I get alot of "I want some food to buff me".

The next question I normaly ask is "What profession are you? or What stats do you want buffed? or What activities will you be involved in?".

After some dicussion it appears that everyone has their own viewpoint on what they percieve their buffing needs are and hence their order is customized (I mean they purchase different combinations of foods to obtain desiredbuffs)

I think this is one of the joys of being a chef we actually have some flexibility in dealing with needs of our customers as they are all different in some ways (also they have access to many diff things which change their final templates).

Having said this they also sometimes fall in a basic category like blue liner (healer type) or green liner (pistoleer etc), red liner (hand to hand) etc!

So here are some typical food combinations or mixes I start with .. then I talk things through with them and we try to find something they suits them ....

Healer - Blue Line type:

Drink: Fishak +4-500 Mind (can only take 1 dose at once)

Food: Ryshcate +2-300 Str/Qui/Focus (can take 2 doses at once *2 effects = +4-600 Str/Qui/Focus)

Comments: End result is higher mind base and lower costwith very high focus. Str and Qui buffs are bonus.

Note: Some havegone in favor of BoH and Veghash or Vercupti Combo here reasoning they prefer theFocus/Willpower combination to Mind/Focus. <let players decide whats best for them after counsel>

Fighter/ Combat - Green Liner type:

Drink: Tatooine Sunburn +1500-1900 Str/Sta, -80Foc (can take 2 doses at once *2 effects = +36-3700 Str/Sta, -1-200Foc) HOLY JUMPING JUNE BUGS BATMAN!

Food: Ryshcate +2-300 Str/Qui/Focus (can take 2 doses at once *2 effects = +4-600 Str/Qui/Focus)

Comments: End result is insaneregeneration from Stamina pool and very low cost due quickness increase. Not to mention you can take a beating with insanely high strength at +4000. Focus detrimental effect due to TS use negated plus come out on top but thats only a bonus.

Note: I have seen substitution of Ryshcate for Thakitillo +250ish toHea/Str/Con but drawback is you can only take 1 Thakitillo. Personally I can't see it but Im still learning.

RedLiner type:

Aint that many of these that I have seen. Most are derivitives of Green liners. So I see alot of Tatooine Sunburn and Thakitillo, Ryschate andVeghash.

Also note: There are specialzed foods which really focus on one line ... like Glazed Glucose Pate (blue) but I try to stay away from thesesincethey havesevere negative consequences to other lines (red in this case) unless the customer REALLY knows what they want and understand the consequences. (also Flameout is another example)

I like to project that food has positive attributes (like no downers/ puking or negative effects or they are minor). As food/ drink is so new to many it takes time to educate and I dont feel like I need to add complexity to an already new area for many players .

Permutations can vary and can be interesting .. what are your thoughts and experiences on food combinations?

great post

Besidehealer you should add Rifleman as he can burn up a blue line faster than a medic ever could...in 4 seconds, i can burn through 1000 mind like it was candy....t21 with a mind cost of 111 using strafeshot2 with +95 to riflespeed = 4shots and no mind

You suggested fishak too boost the mind pool...this would be a good combo, however if i eat 2 ryshcates and one breath of heaven my focus goes through the roof...500 base....400 from boh...300 from each ryshcate for another 600 gives a total of 1500 focus...which totally negates my mind cost for using specials...i do lose some health and action each time..like 7 a shot

i have been screaming this across the rifleman boards for awhile now

once you get a rifleman hooked on this food and drink combo......they will BEG you for food/drink

Amazing post! Thank you for sharing this with us. I've been wondering which drink/food could be combined, and this answers alot of my questions.

what i sell at my storeis caf and tiendile noodles and tat sunburns what i recomend people to do is buy 1 of each drink/eat all 4 uses on the caf and tiendile noodles then wait a min or less for the drink bar to go down then have a blast of tat sunburn after all that you will increase you everything but constition and mind by at least 400 for 5+min and whats really nice this all cost 700c (at my store at least)
