Do you need a set chef? Food advice? Quantum rebates?Follow

I recently reached 100 base cooking in Crawler's nest, after farming royal jellies there for exactly one week. (Got 8 levels of parrying skill and approximately 30 levels of archery while I was there.)

{Congratulations!} - Why, {Thank you.}
There's an apology at the end of this post, to people I treated badly in CN during this week.

/em cuts to the chase!

As a pretty social person and experienced cook, I love to give away food advice to random people as well as friends in the game. I've gotten tons of feedback, either in the form of a consoling pat on my back ("Perhaps you'll become an average chef, given enough time") , being cussed out for being "so ******* pedantic" or praised by a variety of my customers. Hee hee.

What I want: I'd love to have a few "set" customers of different types of food. What I gain from this is getting rid of the same quantity of food over a shorter span of time. More importantly, it's easier to predict what food will actually sell, and what won't.

(If you got enough storage space on a mule, I'll happily sell you a large batch of food right away, so that you don't have to rely on anyone else than your own mules when you need those two stacks of sole sushi for that set party that's supposed to last all Saturday.)


I'm looking for people who would appreciate:

* a chef that has enough online time to be considered a reliable instant-deliverer of food
* a knowledgeable source that takes time out to discuss food-types that fits your job, playstyle, level and role in both set as well as pick-up parties.
* a player that has a food-specific mule in each town, including the grand Duchy. The lack of storage is never an issue, and popular food like Sole/Squid sushi, Melon/Rolanberry pies, Marron glace, Ginger cookies, Boiled crabs, Sweet rice cakes and the like are almost always available in both NQ and HQ form on one of my mules, for quick deliveries.
* a chef that is honest, and will tell you if AH can beat him on price (this is seldom an issue, except for certain skill-up food like tonosama rice balls), how many HQ results you can expect a batch of ingredients to end up in and that will never blame others than himself if he fails a synth or ask you for more gil after a price has been agreed on.
* a chef that uses every possible means to get his recipes right: Windower, FFXI, Vana'diel Cookbook and the www makes for a potent combination of getting the ingredients cheap, quick and in the correct amount.
* a chef that's a cheap-*** for your wallet's ultimate pleasure: Crystals are bought where crystals are cheap, vendors are never more than a mule or a warp away, when San d'Oria ranks third Stack's got 10 stacks of the required item on a mule. It's favorable, flavorable and flawless. You can't go wrong.

If this sounds interesting to you, you may look me up in game or post a reply here. I'll either be on Stackdump (while playing) or Thesushifactory (foodmule placed in Rolanberry Fields with heavily undercut food). If I'm in a bad mood, I usually log onto Dramaqueen, my equipment mule in Windurst, and rant to all of my friends or just go to bed and put up a wicked search comment.

If you got enough storage space on a mule, I'll happily sell you a large batch of food right away, so that you don't have to rely on anyone else than your mules when you need those two stacks of sole sushi for that set party that's supposed to last all Saturday.

I'd like to apologize for people I refused to raise, even if they were innocent victims of other people's careless zoning of rumble crawlers (with nice trains of 10-15 crawlers also) that I thought were the actual zoners. I'm sorry, I didn't know. It just looked so frigging incriminating when you actually had enough HP/DEF to be able to survive that far. I guess I was just grumpy over horrible drop rates and having to fend off 15 too weaks on the borderline of easy prey, in addition to EP closing in on DC rumble crawlers. At least I cleared the way for people /blush

Look me up anytime you're in Bastok, I know some hume female sluh.. *cough cough* mules that would love to drink Yagudo drinks with us all night. And my moogle is an adept butler, who never gives me condescending looks the next morning.

Er, before this turns into vivid gay homosexual acts or otherwise that doesn't really suit this forum, I'll put on my professional chef's face. *washes hands thoroughly* *proceeds to look angrily at the next poster* "Hey! No soup for you!"

Er, people just ignore this post lol

Hey Stack! Congrats! (You know me as Tiffarah, btw)

Hope I'll catch up with you before long!

Until then, I would be more than happy to support you by buying some +1 Melon Pies from you. Hit me up with a tell in game to let me know your prices. And if you ever need butter, I've got it coming out my ears... 32 stacks atm. Though I have 7 listed on the AH. Who knows how fast they'll sell though.

Oh, and I finally have a mule in every city, including Jeuno! Woot for me!

Anyway, good luck in your entropinurial(sp?) endeavor!

That's gross.

If you wanna be a supplier to the BST of Ragnarok, fish oil broth has gone way too high to be reasonable on the AH ^_^ If you're interested I'll have a chat with our shellholder.

Awesome, next time I'm on I'll have that chat with our shellholder. Also, BST like tuna sushi... a lot ;)
