No one does this dungeon anymore...

Might be a neat idea if Nexon tells devcat to improve some of the old minigames like this feature so more players will take advantage of it...

Maybe connect it to G15 in some ways?

Well atm on hardmode, it's very hard to meet the quota on the recipes since the STUPID ai takes like 30 seconds to hit things...

So the main priority is improving the AI for the game so the chef will actually attempt to lower the ingredients defense so you can kill some and cause the silverware to spawn sooner.

Also, if you go elf and mirage all of them, you can notice that the npc WON'T aggro unless he gets hit, and somehow Mirage Missile causes those ingredients to ignore him.

Maybe best if kitchen dungeon gets reworked to this idea:

Ingredients, rats, and silverware spawn regardless of population at the start. Rats will only spawn after 1 minute has passed. So ingredients and if your lucky, a silverware will spawn really early, like 10~30 seconds into the dungeon.
