I am quite addicted to Fantine's bakery, even only at level 2. I enjoy restocking the goods I need to make the items (because I'm cheap and like a challenge.) I assume that there are going to be more recipes added as time goes on, which I hope to see. Now, I don't know how high these levels are going to go, but I assume that once everybody has maxed themselves out and made every good/burned version of the items out there, there isn't much point to baking more until Fantine comes out with more recipes.

I'd like to incentivize baking more frequently by introducing "perfect" or "super" baked goodies. These would be like, just unimaginably perfect creations that even Fantine wouldn't be able to explain how you made them. She could even have new dialogue when it does happen :P They'd be quite rare to produce, as in by a freak accident, so the rate of production for these would be really low. Considering that the baking supplies kit is 1 mil in the MC, I think "perfect" goods would also incentivize more sP spending (maybe). It wouldn't be bad if they also had a little bonus as a stat booster, but it's not really necessary. And what could people do with all the foods that weren't perfect? Frag/recycle/eat/sell/donate to Charity of course.

I don't think this has any real negative aspects to it, except that these perfect foods would be really expensive in user shops. But even then, baking isn't something people could farm since cooking times take so long and you need quite a stockpile of ingredients to pump them out. So the people who really like baking would be willing to keep baking, and everybody else could just buy what they need for gourmand and whatnot o3o

Anyways, I'd really like to hear your opinions and feedback on this, and if this thing could even work. It's just something that I would like to see at Fantine's bakery ^_^'

Do we really need baking to be even more RNG based? Burning is already bad enough.

I don't find burning all that bad, it's still an item, and I get exp from it o3o Maybe it's different with higher levels, but I actually have to do repeat recipes to specifically get the burned products. I'm actually trying to do the rice pudding again because I want to know what its burned product is. And what's so bad about RNGs? That's what most aspects of this site are, like vending, questing, training, the mage, restocking, the carnival, games, fragging, etc o3o

You said it, you're level 2.

When you're going to be in the higher level, like 6 or 7, burning five cakes in a row isn't fun at all. It's wasted money and a lost 50 minutes. It took me six attempts to get the black and white cake. That's hours of stuff, and millions in supplies burnt.

Also, people already dislike baking because it's RNG heavy. They're not going to like it more if they keep getting critical whales while they could have gotten a super expensive item

Also, training isn't RNG based. Neither are games.

I see :P Well it was still an idea nonetheless. And I think training is random as I don't think there's a way to always get 3 points in anything. Random is a RNG isn't it? Also slots is pretty random, along with the safe and mind reader o3o But yeah, it was still an idea ^_^; I'll keep baking until I max myself out and then only touch it when there are more recipes

When you train, you don't expect to get three stats in each session. You're expecting to get one, and you get at least one stat every session.

It cannot compare imo. At least 1 to 3 is useful.
