Cooking Strategy

  • On the debate of chow mein vs. other big dishes, we also need to consider the cost of aquiring all the various ingredients. Mainly, mushrooms. Rat Appendices and bat wings can be acquired at the same location. Knoll Mushrooms and Spooky Mushrooms must be aquired in worthless areas, basically. Knob mushrooms can be acquired with spices and sausages and other useful ingredients. I'm wavering. I think bat wing chow mein may be the only worthwhile one. Then spend those adventures somewhere that balances muscle/moxie stats. Or, somewhere to make meat to buy stat boosters in the market, or to offer to the various gates. Or live with awesome mysticality. =) Any thoughts? --Eis271828 18:50, 04 Oct 2005 (CDT)
  • You're an idiot, Eis271828. Zapping changes it, somewhat. Now you can make all your bat wing chow meins relatively cheaply, and zap one a day into others to save for stat days. How sexy! Not a full solution in Hardcore, but better, anyway. Ha ha! get it...full...oh man, I'm funny when I'm tired. Point is, zapping can make the ultimate strategy harder to figure out for sure. --Eis271828 12:28, 05 Oct 2005 (CDT)

Image Weirdness

Just so ya know, IE doesn't support the alpha layer of PNG images. Turns 'em gray. I'm using firefox, so it doesn't matter much, but still... Damn Microsoft and their standards non-compliance! --Aardvark (Talk | Contribs) 11:08, 30 Sep 2005 (MDT)

  • How interesting. On my Mac at work, I see no difference between FireFox and IE on this page. But I'll check it under Windows when I get home before I do any more fiddling about. No way am I going through all that trouble if it still doesn't look pretty—although I am learning a lot about Photoshop from it. Thanks for the heads-up. --PaperWhiteMaskOfEvil 11:23, 30 Sep 2005 (MDT)
  • They may have fixed it in 6.0 SP2. I'm stuck with SP1, being on a Windows 98 PC. Also, if you have QuickTime on your comp, it has a handler that takes care of PNG images. But yeah, definately worth looking into. --Aardvark (Talk | Contribs) 11:27, 30 Sep 2005 (MDT)
  • IE on win2k made them have either a white, gray, or bright blue background. Stupid IE. --JRSiebz 19:47, 3 Oct 2005 (MDT)
  • It actually all depends on the base color used to create the transparancy. I've seen pink, black, or other colors. IE, not being designed with standards-compliance in mind, doesn't support the alpha layer, and because of this loads the base color. --Aardvark (Talk | Contribs) 01:47, 4 Oct 2005 (MDT)

section idea

cheap eats - what can be bought for the minimum mall price 100 meat say first a reminder about toaster and evil arches (maybe even comment on usefulness of toaster for faster accensions, and strategy for slower accensions of keepng a toaster from previous accension to install early in next accension for cheap food source- build up food stocks) eg * for maximum adventures, if you don't care about stats (eg for high level characters who want to farm, and have stats to spare)

  • for maximum stat gain


  • yes, but the toaster is a quest item, and gets deleted when you ascend.--Silophant 10:08, 28 October 2006 (CDT)
    • No it is not, you can keep your cheap toaster.--Dehstil (t|c) 11:08, 28 October 2006 (CDT)
    • Hmmm, Cheap Toaster notes show the toaster as being lost on ascension. I haven't had one for ages, but I know that the one I had when ascension first rolled out was lost when I ascended. --Gymnosophist 11:56, 28 October 2006 (CDT)
    • I kept my cheap toaster before, the item that is.--Dehstil (t|c) 12:02, 28 October 2006 (CDT)
    • Ah - as it's only the item that is kept, the "toaster strategy" sounds pretty useless. The "net value/per pull" of even a pizza is probably better than that of a toaster. --Gymnosophist 13:31, 28 October 2006 (CDT)

Standards

  • shouldn't the various tables be colour-coded to fit in with the cocktailcrafting recipes? --Evilkolbot 01:36, 4 April 2006 (CDT)

Teffania

  • Currently it is set up so that ingredients have a white background but final products are in green. I think it makes it very clean (without all those messy "+" signs for which we don't have room anyways...) --Pastamancer5 11:53, 18 April 2006 (CDT)

Racking up Spices

I noticed you didn't mention at all the "Spicy Pirate" adventure (Zest!) as a means of getting spices.--Atlantima 10:55, 18 April 2006 (CDT)

so did I. too me thats the most covenient way in HC. Also, since the Hermit has been nerved, the worth of lucky sewer strategy really should be reconsidered, even when playing marmot. --Tomthe3rd 11:29, 3 November 2006 (CST)

A Radical Rewrite

Hey guys. As I've been going through and trying to tackle some of the more out-of-date material, I came across cooking strategy, and decided to make a number of changes.

The biggest is removing all of the charts that were on this page. I did so because these charts are also on the Dry noodle guide and parts of the charts are on chow mein, dry noodle, hi mein, etc. Over the next few days, I'll try to work to condense these so that

Finally, as I finish up, I will make a navigation banner to connect all of these pages, as well as Best Foods.

But for now, I welcome your comments on this page. --Foggy 17:00, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
