Baking
You need to eat to live, and the baker is able to create his own food, both for personal consumption and to sell or give away to others.
What is the best way to develop and use the baking skill? Which recipes are the most and least useful? Which cities are the best places for Bakers to practice their trade?
Post your strategies on how to best develop and use the baking skill, and read, rate and coment on those posted by others.

I have been absent from everquest for about 3 weeks. I used to be able to sell Halas 10lb meat pies on the tribunal for 3p5g at the LOWEST. Now I come back, bake a lot of food and there are people selling them for 1p9g! I bought those people out and spent at least 700p doing so. After my efforts there were still others selling them for as low as 40p a stack. What's happening here?!
I was wondering if anyone has ever come across or heard about a charm for tradeskills? I'm slowly working on maxing out all my tradeskills (with the eventual help of Tanaan Crafting AA), and I was wondering if there are any charms that would either raise the tradeskills or use the tradeskill levels to raise my stats.

Tundra bear sandwich trivials at under 40.
Snow bunny stew: around 60
Ulthork meat pie: 95
Snow griffon souffle: under 122.
As Khaless says, work those fish rolls for a couple of hours and when they trivial out, you should have no problem with the above items.
Hope this helps!

Each part of the quest trivials at a different skill level progressivly higher. Been awhile so i can't remember each, but if you make fish rolls (batwings and fresh fish) that trivials at 135 i think, that is plenty to complete the final step.

Can someone please tell me what is meant by trivial (as it pertains to skills)?
The point at which you can no longer raise your skill making that item.

Aaahhh...So last night when it said I could no longer raise my skill level by combining spiderling silks, the skill level I am at at that point is the trivial level for silk threads...Thank you!
I have found plenty of rennet at the vendors near the bank in the plane of knowledge. I made stacks of mature cheese with it. There is an erudite baker and a barbarian in the same area that sell it. Wish I could remember the names, sorry. But they do have it! It looks like blue frosting.

I have been working on baking and once you hit 191 it really slows down. What I have been doing is making sure I have all my wis gear on, getting a C3 and then baking Halaas pies. They sell well in bazaar and you can make your money back easily. But it is slow going let me tell you. I am only at about 197 now I think and I have successfully created about 300 pies. The nice thing about these is that you get a lot of multiple stacks on stuff and when you do your final combine a success gives you more than 1 pie (6 I think, have not baked in a while). Anyway I am not into doing the pixie thing because the Cinni sticks are a pain to get. Pies get old fast and have a lot of steps but you make back the money you use up and then some
good luck all

Well i also seem to have a problem with getting my skill past 191 in baking. I am thinking after so many stacks and a few days worth of pixie dust it has to be bugged or something. Any suggestions or who do we need to get get ahold of to find out how to get them to fix this? sigh

Greetings,
From your panther meat, you can make Blackened Panther (meat, spices, garnish), trivials at 62 skill.
I can't find any recipes for the mango or chagra you've foraged, however.

Ok I can't post on the everquestlive forums, so I'm just gonna ask here.
i'm not a newbie, I've been playing for quite a while actually, but I wanna know why exactly do people eat there food? I've never wondered why really untill now. I always see people taking bites of there food, and I think, what a waste. There is a reason for this, so can someone please lemme know what?

Might be a couple of reasons for this. First is what I do. I'm a foraging class, and if I forage something worth eating (that I can't use to up my baking or brewing skills) down the hatch it goes!
The other reason is the stat foods now available. If you don't force-feed yourself one of these, you get the full benefit. If you then regularly force feed yourself any normal food, the stat benefits stay with you, and you avoid depleting your stack of stat food.

At skill 191 Patty Melts are trivial. These sell nicely. No stats, but lasts a LONG time and is very light wieght.
Also there are the Halas Pies and Misty Picnics. Cookies can sell for a bit, nothing special to them but is kinda cool :).

Baking is a pretty low-profit skill, all in all. Some higher-level foods, like Halas 10lb Meat Pies and Misty Thicket Picnics, sell well. I made a little bit of money making and selling fish rolls. You can buy the fish and batwings at vendors and make a stack for about 3-5gp, if memory serves. Pre-Bazaar days, I was selling a stack of these for at least 5pp each, and I think you might get more now.
Sorry I can't be more help, but Tailoring is my main profit-making skill now. Baking I use for low-weight, hi-nutrition food items.

I heard a rumor that baking cannot be your main skill, that is it and one other skill can be raised to 250. Can anyone please confirm or deny.
Thanks
Thanks
Since PoP, you can train in New Tanaan Crafting Mastery, which lets you go past 200 in more than one skill.
Greetings,
Not sure where you heard this, but the first tradeskill to hit 201 locks the others to a max of 200. And as far as I know, Baking can be taken all the way to 250.

Does a craft skill level depend on your character level, or can you go as high as you want no matter your character level?

It is NOT matter what level you are, for example I have a level 3 alt, he is almost grand master at baking. =)

Unlike other skills, tradeskills are not capped by your level. You can work them as high as you wish (or can afford!), even if level 1.

Has anyone other than me noticed a distinct dropoff in skillups. I am currently at 190 skill and have been making Misty thicket picnics as both a means to skill up (i have a ton of foraged goodies) and make a little cash. However after 400+ combines(and thats a conservative estimate mind you) I recieved 3, yes 3, skill ups. if this is the rate that skill ups dwindle too i will be very disappointed. Wasn't there a patch a few weeks ago that was supposed to make it easier to skill up in all TS's besides pottery and fletching(which were to get slightly more difficult if memory serves)? I certainly hope this isn't what was intended. Can anyone tell me if this is the norm or if there is something very wrong. Honestly, I would be happy with a skill up per stack but at the rate i am going its a skill up per every 6 stacks of combines.

I also am stuck at 190 and have been baking Halas Meat Pies like a madwoman with no improvements. I have been stuck at 190 for close to two weeks now and have done hundreds of combines that are well above my trivial level. After reading this post, I'm beginning to wonder if there is a bug...
I have a druid (wis 239) that has been stuck at 191 for a very long time. I've been trying to make Pixie Powder Cinnesticks with no improves. I do not get a trivial message. Any thoughts out there? We need some help.
Greetings again,
Sorry about the delay, but other commitments delayed my planned tradeskilling day!
Anyway, I started yesterday with Baking at 142, and proceeded to skillup using patty melts (trivial at 191) as the ingredients are all store-bought. I have done 19 stacks of combinations and got my skill to 189. This works out at 1 skillup per 8 attempts on average. Not a great return on your time, and I'm sure it used to be better. There are also extended runs of no advances - the last 50 attempts brought no skill increase.
Not sure what this proves, other than tradeskills are (as they've always been) a time and money sink! However, I said I'd post my results, so here they are...

Greetings,
I haven't worked on my baking for a while, so can't really comment on that skill's difficulty - I may have a session this weekend to push it on to higher levels (currently at 142). If and when I do, I'll edit this with my skillup results.
However, I can vouch for the fact that the patch in question has made tailoring distinctly easier. I had a heck of a job getting to 158 on Wu's, but I've only done about a stack (at most) of acrylia studded combines, and I've had 5 skillups.
I know this isn't much help at the moment, but I will post some concrete results on baking once I've done a few combinations!

Anyone can go to 191 skill fast with all store bought items. If you cant buy from a certain vendor then have a friend buy for you or pay a newbie to buy for you, they need money anyway. First step buy batwings and fresh fish from the vendors in Jagged Pines. Combine 1 fresh fish and 1 bat wing in oven. This will take you to 135. Then you will need to buy a non stick frying pan from a pc, should be able to get one easily in the Bazaar for around 10pp. After this buy lion meet from Shadowhaven and then cheese and bread from Jagged Pines again. Put pan, meat, bread and cheese, one of each of course, in oven. This will produce patty melts and will take you all the way to 191.
Goodluck and happy baking!

I am always hearing people talk about using ovens for their backing skills. I've used a spit pretty much everytime, which works for me since it's portable and gives me somthing to do when I am resting.
Is there a specail reason people seem to be always using ovens instead of spits? or am I just mistaken?

An oven doesn't take up one of your inventory slots. If you do multiple tradeskills, you can't afford to run around with a bunch of 4/6/8 slot tradeskill containers, when you need 10 slot bags for space.
Greetings,
You'll find that for some of the higher level recipes, the amount of ingredients exceeds what you can put in a spit. Using an oven also saves having to lug the spit around with you!

I've been killing snakes in North Karana for some time now, and found only 1 snake egg. I was going to make "Deadly Medly," which calls for Wasp Wings (plentiful in Greater Faydark), Fire Beetle Eyes (rather common in North Quenos, and Snake meat. But unless i can do better than one piece of meat in 30 minutes, this dish isn't going to be worth it. Does anyone know of a better spot for hunting snakes that yeild meat? Velevetina Sateen

Snake meat can also be bought in a vendor in Shadow Heaven.
You may have found this out already, but snake meat can be bought in any quantity from Mordin, inside Mordin's Meats in Thurgadin.
He also sells bear, lion, gator, rat, and scorpion meat.

While they might be a bit below your level (but I'm not at your level yet, so I can only go on my own experience!), check out the chasm crawlers in East Karana and even the Giant Rattlesnakes in East Commons. Been a few levels since I hunted any of them, but egg drops were plentiful and meat was fairly regular.

Just the other day I was testing out some durations of different foods while working on my casting skills for my human enchanter. I have read eq traders web page and learned that snacks lasted about 15 minutes, meals 30 minutes ect. Now here is the interesting thing. I notice that my standard ration I was using lasted about 33 minutes and when I ran out I was eating chunks of meat and they lasted less than 20 minutes about 19 minutes but not sure. Note they were both listed as meals. Makes me wonder now if the listing snack, meal, heaty meal ect is only a range of durations. So a snack could be anywhere from 1 to 15 minutes and meals could be 16 to 30 minutes ect. Has anyone else noticed this? I did a quick search on everquest durations hoping to find a web page that listed different known foods with how long they lasted exactly. Do candied spider legs that are list as a snack like the muffins you buy from the store last longer? Any imput is welcomed.
