Chef

CHEF​

---

SUMMARY​

Chefs provide food and drinks for a wide variety of occasions. Food and drink provide buffs to various attributes and will fill part of the respective food and drink meters, which slowly digest (decay) to allow more food and drink to be consumed. Whether you are crafting, PvP'ing, farming, or harvesting - foods are an incredibly important aspect of the end game and are always in demand.

Chef can be particularly tricky due to reliance on Flora resource that not many other professions utilize as well as a variety of resource quality combinations. In addition, a Chef needs a good Bio Engineer to help craft top-end goods.

Required (Chef Profession only):
914,200 Food Crafting XP
135k Credits (for training)

The following guide provides a relatively straightforward way to get from novice to master.
The resources do not need to be of high quality. Find or harvest the cheapest you can.
A crafting macro is recommended to speed up the process.
With a decent crafting macro and all of the materials already gathered you can achieve master chef from novice in under an hour.

The following XP amounts and requirements assume:
- You do NOT have an experience buff from an entertainer.
- You craft using practice mode for the experience bonus.


Tips

• Get an entertainer experience buff
• Use practice mode
• Get a crafting droid and grind next to the trainer

Key Resources​

Resource Types​

Qualities & Experimentation​

• OQ/FL (Flavor - Duration of Food)
• OQ/PE (Nutrition - Effect of Food)
• PE/DR (Quantity)
• OQ/DR (Filling)

ABOUT FOOD & DRINK​

Food provides temporary buffs to your stats. These can be modifiers to your HAM or a wide assortment of skills.

Filling​

Characters have separate food & drink filling bars on your Character Sheet (c). Each bar goes up to 100 and is emptied over the course of 30 minutes (3-1/2 fill per minute). Consumed food & drink fills up your filling bar and cannot go over 100.

Stacking​

Food and drink with the same stat buffs cannot be stacked. Rather, whatever you eat or drink last will replace the previous food.

For example, Kiwik Clusjo Swirl and Caf both have a Mind Regeneration buff and therefore cannot be used at the same time.
