Is that the shopping list, or is there something Flurry-specific you were asking?

If you were questioning your list, you can cross out 'flowers', because I don't think many people are stocking anything that requires them at the moment. You'll also want to add rice (wild for parwan, regular for BoH), tubers, fungi and crystalline gemstone to the list. I'm sure there are others, but it's almost 1:30 in the morning, so my brain is foggy.

Ok thanks I had those written next to me just didnt type them up. What i really want to know is what are "quality" statistics on the resources should I gather something that has middle ground of all stats? or really high in OQ but low in FL? I want to start stocking up ingredients but dont want them to be rotten for my far-in-the-future customers.

This is always the toughest question. In theory, you want every single stat to be high because they will all affect the outcome. In practice, it's easier to get things with high PE/OQ (the most important stats for nutrition at 66%/33%, respectively) and let the others "suffer" a bit - without really letting them suffer. Depending on the type of item you're making, sometimes you can get away with crappy FL and DR. With things that need to be 50 filling, sometimes you can get away with lower OQ and PE, but you'll want an extraordinarily high DR. Take a good look at the items you'll be making and figure out the characteristics of what make that food good and useful. Is it the nutritional value? Will too high of a filling be detrimental? Is the duration one of the most important things? Then, take a look at the schematics for these items and take a look at which stats factor the most into making that particular item the best it can be.

For example, ruby bliel. The only important feature of this drink is to have a low filling, because even using the worst grind resources, your outcome will be the same. Therefore, you know that you A. do not need to use an additive (unless it's a filling-reducing additive), and B. only need to find resources with a high DR and (on a lesser level) OQ because DR makes for 75% of the final outcome.

It can take a while to get the hang of which stats are important for which products, but once you play with it for a bit, you'll get it.
