Guilds/Good Grub Pub

Welcome to the Tale 7 Cooking Research Guild and the home of The MP Project. If you wish to help me with the Cooking Research data gathering we will need to properly do this tale, please come apply to the Guild Hall right next to the River Plains Chariot. However, our biggest need is not more plotters and spreadsheet warriors, but people that can DONATE! We cannot plot without materials TO plot!

If you have any questions about cooking in general, or anything you see on this page please contact me, /chat Odis

An Intro to Cooking Research

The key rule of early tale research is a strong stomach, a lot of patience, and a good 'ol stop watch! Another rule of thumb is once you start testing an item, you finish that item before you abandon it. Beware, this can be anywhere from 6 different cookings, to 10. So be prepared to be tied to that kitchen! In a little more detail, the first step is to plot everything out. And how we do that is by triangulation. We take an item we want to test, and we pair that item up with 3 common items which will be paired with every single other item in existence, or at least until we have a good base of items to plot on a scatter chart.

The Common items we will use to pair everything with this tale are: Honey, Camel Milk, Camel Meat, Verdant Squill. If one or more of these fail the backups are Mutton, Oyster Meat, and more to be announced later. Data is still sparse

You test each pairing with 6 of one common ingredient, and 1 of the item in question that you are testing. Since we do not have 7 gastro yet to evaluate it with the click of a button, you have to eat it and sit there with a stop watch timing the duration of the pairing to the exact second. Once done, write that down! Make sense? Awesome! Now, put 13 of the same common ingredient, and 1 of the item in question. Eat, and time to the exact second. Write that down. Go ahead and write down the stats if they look gorgeous as well. Once done, put them on here, in the section below. It doesn't have to look pretty, just keep everything on the same line so I can easily parse it once I fix the spreadsheet.

Donation warehouses are at 1560, 2845 by the RP cs. We are in need of EVERYTHING, even if it already plotted. If you would like more data, please donate. :) Every deben helps!

Pairings

Not a member but want to help? Enter your data here. Remember, the timings need to be as precise as possible!

Instructions: For each pair of items you want to test, you'll need 19 of the "base" and 2 of the "additive." For each pair, two sets of info is needed. First cook a meal using 6 of the base and 1 of the additive. Time the duration (accuracy is important, use a stopwatch if possible) and record the time in minutes and seconds. Also record any stat changes. Next repeat those steps, except use 13 of the base and 1 of the additive. If you do the first step and get a message that the recipe does nothing for you, note that in the table, and you can skip the second step.
