Food Quality

Makes sense I guess. I can check that out later.

EDIT: Or I can just check now. I hit the fork as soon as I could so I think I should have 0 quality. With rank 1 tasting, I now have 15. Someone with no tasting should confirm by doing the same thing and seeing that they get 0 points.

Rank 9 tasting here. Got 7 points.

Meru, have you noticed any changes to the quality of the dishes you produce with regular cooking?

I'm definitely getting more 5 stars for sure. Unless I'm really lucky. Got 5 in a row even. Before I'd be lucky to even get 1 in 30 perfect dishes. Just did 10 bread crumbs just now, which is the easiest dish ever, got 5 5star.

And that was with rank 9 tasting? Strange. Our results are all over the place, lol.

Really? I've been cooking nonstop since the update with r5 cooking and r1 tasting (with a cooking ruler) and I've gotten like 5 5-stars out of hundreds. I used to get 1 5-star in every four dishes back before the Culinary Artist update.

Before the update, when I was cooking like 100 dishes a day for the r1 composing book that I still never got, I got maybe 1 5star every 50 or 60 dishes. Not getting any 3 star dishes like I used to. No cooking ruler or anything here.

Actually, I don't recall ever getting a 3-star dish before this update. After this update I did get a 3-star dish (with no message saying you have x percent extra/less of something) but I only ever noticed getting one 3-star. (On a semirelated note, I wasn't even trying and accidentally got the r2 composing book from the monkeys on my first try, guess that has a lot to say about sporadic luck.)

I've gotten loads of 3 star perfects before. Maybe because I'm rank 7 cooking? Was r8 before patch.

I was r6 before the patch, before the patch, the lowest quality I ever got was 80. According to Nexon America, 75 is the lowest possible quality to get 4-star. So, to get 3-star it would need to be 74 or lower, I doubt r7>r6 has a leap of over 6 quality, though it is possible. I might also have been wrong or overly lucky.
