Having finally gotten my first 7 MPs (many thanks to the others who have posted cooking data), I'm starting to post up some of my earlier attempts. I'll be making an effort to update coordinates for most of the ingredients that I'm working with, assuming I can a) practice the theory, which I believe I understand, and b) find a way to make them wiki-able within reasonable effort. After Gastronomy 7, all recipes include duration (which isn't many, right now). I won't be doing much with potency right now, because it seems very dynamic at this point - everyone's cooking a lot!

Coordinates & Data :: This is a zip file with the Excel spreadsheets and a GeoGebra chart, which makes it very easy to search and filter the data around as necessary.

Coords & Coord Image :: The actual coords, as well as a snapshot of the GeoGebra chart in a JPG format. Not necessarily as easy to use, and some of it is going to get very crowded as I continue updating.

Suggested Masterpiece Pairings :: A list of very tight ingredients which should give very potent durations, and thus increase potential for a masterpiece, as I understand it.

I would love to be able to add more herbs to these charts, and as I get sufficient quantities, I will be. Right now, I've been testing only with herbs that I had 20 or more of in stock, but I'll be revisiting my lists. If you'd like to donate, have questions about this data, or want to heckle me, send me a chat in-game or post something in the forums (I'm currently reading & following forums, but no guarantees). Generally, I want about 10 deben of an herb to test it out, although if I get lucky, I use only the minimum 4 deben: 1 for each of 3 position points, and a 4th to test potency against one of those position points.

This data and the updates to it are now in the Excel spreadsheet as part of the Coordinates & Data zip, which is much easier to maintain than a wiki table. Were the wiki to actually allow me to upload Excel files, I would upload them directly, but I hope the zip is accessible enough to those who want them.

Big Herb List

Just a page for tracking what herbs I've tested & what I have in quantity to test(not there yet). This is now just a page of the herbs I have NOT tested, and generally need more of before I can test. Note that this is missing many of the rare herbs, including the newly-corrected rares like Apiphenalm or Homesteader's Palm. If they're not here or on the list of coords, then I still need them!

I'm starting to gear up to give cooking lessons. Here's a page of partial data, to keep things simpler and easier to look at. This will be used in support of cooking lessons. Cooking School

A note on stat recipes & additive quantities (advanced)

In T3, there was some discussion about adding multiple quantities of an additive being wasteful. Because of the way that additives & bases interact (with bases overriding the interaction) in T4, I would argue that the additive quantity is very important now. When I'm crafting a very strong recipe, I test each base:additive pairing against multiple additive quantities to determine the best reaction. That means that for my very, very good recipes, I end up with Base(6):Add1(3):Add2(1):Add3(5); Base2(6):Add4(1):Add5(3) combinations, etc. It also means that crafting a very strong stat recipe consumes a much larger amount of additives. To that end, I do keep some of my recipes private because of the relative cost. I use several hundred herb additives to craft a 20+ stat recipe. This also means that moving from a 6-quantity base to a 9-quantity base involves re-crafting the recipe entirely (you can make educated guesses about the multiplier, but nothing guaranteed).
