Hey, All--

I posted this on the Corbantis galaxy board, but got little response. I'm thinking here might be a better place to ask...

I'm starting up a guild on Talus and I'm looking for some advice/thoughts. I notice that in a lot of guilds that do a bunch of hunting, Doctors are key figures in order for the guild to stay buffed. The thing is, if you don't have a bunch of docs, chances are there is going to be many times where guild members are on to hunt, but nobody in the guild to buff them.

I'm thinking, would it better to try and target Chefs to join the guild? I mean, I know that buffs from food aren't as good as doc buffs (again, correct me if I'm wrong) but if the chef makes a bunch of food and drinks and just gives them to the guild members to use at their leisure, wouldn't that make things easier? I'm no Artisan, but is food easier or cheaper to produce than Doctor buffs? Because there is so many kinds of food with all sorts of different effects, even if they are not easier to produce, are they still better?

I know that with enough Brandy, you can more or less replace the need for Dance or Music buffers. Would one be wrong in saying that with enough Blap Biscuts or Breath of Heaven, the need for expensive Doc buffs are not needed? Or is food just as difficult, if not more so to make?

Let me know what you think and if you have any advice. The guild is pretty much going to be designed to be a helper guild, I think, with people willing to give help and those who need help are all welcome.

It's called The Super Secret Spy Club, and although I'm not posting this with the intention to try and recruit the guild is REALLY small right now, and if I don't get a couple more people soon, it will be destroyed, so any help you can give on who and how I should try and recruit would be cool. I just figured Chefs would be a good place to start, but I don't know if I have the right idea or not.

Also, any recomendations for good menus to have the guild stay stocked in would be cool.
