Cook Credo seems too weak (or replaceable)

Postby woo00154 » Mon May 03, 2021 10:26 am

In W13, cook credo feels extremely underwhelming.
Let's take a look at each perks:

1. cook speed increase -> the only reason cook credo even matters at this point. Especially nice in a large village.
2. constitution +15 -> ... why? maybe perception or dex that actually affects cooking?
3. satiation decrease -> from 15% satiation decrease to 13%. It's very hard to notice this effect. And once drinks are available, this perk is worthless.
4. cooking +30 -> not the most impressive, but it helps. This is fine.
5. chance to cook double -> in w13, the % chance seems really low (about 15%). And not all food seem to be affected by this. It's nice when it happens, but it's negligible.

Overall, the credo perk doesn't really seem necessary for a cook.
There is no real reason for a person with cook credo to cook. (unlike tailor, for example) :cry:
Considering cook is one of the credos with no further progression, could you please make cook credo little more "special"? (give motivation for ppl to actually take this credo)

few ideas I could think of:
1. quality increase on final product
2. decrease in ingredient consumed
3. increase effectiveness of satiation decrease (2% -> 5%)
4. actually give proper stat instead of constitution (perception or dex or cooking)
5. chance to cook double can be applied to processed materials (butter, batter, flour) or baked food

Thanks!

Not sure if I want it to be mandatory to grind cook credo if you want to do some cooking.

15% chance for double products doesn't seem that negligible. It's flat 15% increase to the whole profession

The rewards you get from completing Cook is just good enough to get if you want to specialize, but bad enough to not be required if you want to focus on something else but still produce good quality food.
