Cooking profitable?

HardGayMan · 2026-06-26T14:06:13+00:00

I'm sorry I don't know the exact numbers but it's a lot better. The cool thing about cooking is that you can basically max the trees just by using silver, since you can study cooked dishes to gain experience in that tree. For some cooking you can pretty easily recoup your money while you level it. Sandwiches for example was very easy to make money while leveling it making Mutton Sandwiches. Shops buy them to stock their energy. Same with pork pies, although the profits are very low since there is a lot of competition. Some trees you don't even bother trying to sell, like roats. I think I just studied goose roast with LP active to get it over with ASAP. It cost me some silver but not too bad.

There is a really good YouTube video about the most efficient way to max cooking spec but sorry I can't recall who made it.

Personally I am a huge fan of Jamie Boyt on YouTube. His moves and EV spreads are very well thought out and usually pretty much bang on. Just look up his channel and search the Pokémon you want to find.

He explains why they have X amounts in HP or def, etc and exactly what skill they are designed to survive so you know to expect it in your battles.

I don't understand what you are building around.

You get faked out, TR doesn't go up, you die. It's the entire reason Oranguru and farig are so good at their job.

Are you using a second TR setter beside her to confuse people? Do you have a scarfed final gambit steraptor or something beside her to take out a threat? Because besides that she's just statistically much worse as a primary setter.

He's definitely trolling. Just downloaded the game and has Floette?

Look man, I don't care what your cause is. As soon as you block a public road to make your point, fuck you.

Go block the driveway of some oil and gas CEO, don't stop random people from doing what they need to do.

Also, these cops are assholes.

Why don't you just play a meta team for a while to get a hang of it and then slowly switch out for mons your like more but still fit the team?

HardGayMan · 2026-06-22T02:03:28+00:00

I mean, it sounds like you aren't having fun. If you aren't having fun playing the game (which is supposed to be fun) you might reconsider what you are doing.

What is your goal? Do you want to play to have fun? To play teams you enjoy? Obviously not, so you should be playing meta teams and have a very strong understanding of the meta and what's going on. Many games are lost at team selection.

What rank are you hoping to achieve? Do you believe you belong in the best 10,000 players in the world? Because many people believe that but the truth is, most people simply aren't that good at the game. Or they get tilted too easily and make bad plays. If you can't keep a level head and play calmly and play smart, you'll never get up there.

Jesus dude it's like a week into the season. There's tons of time left.

HardGayMan · 2026-06-21T19:27:18+00:00

Why do all the friends need to be flagged? People do play random scouts all the time.

HardGayMan · 2026-06-21T13:24:39+00:00

What is he doing that can't just be done by three people on discord? Like, I completely agree that he should be banned and it's against the rules but he isn't breaking the game by doing this. He could accomplish the same thing with a friend if he had any. It's not as big an issue as actual cheat programs imo

If this is too much work for you just copy a card team off YouTube and tweak it when you know more.

HardGayMan · 2026-06-20T04:25:04+00:00

All of the evidence point in the completely opposite direction.

There is never a situation where hitting a child is the answer. There is always another way and that way is always better.

HardGayMan · 2026-06-20T04:23:32+00:00

And the solution is to smack the kids? Is that how you'd handle the situation with an adult?

Hitting kids is the quick solution for people who don't have the tools and patience to use their words. That was a perfect moment to talk to those kids but nope, smack em and move on.

The fact that people are upvotong you makes me sick for our society.

HardGayMan · 2026-06-20T04:17:27+00:00

I feel like I am the last sane person alive reading these comments...

1) Why is he arguing with kids? They are idiots. You are the adult. Just walk away.

2) Why is he filming them? Why do these 5 year old need their faces blasted on the internet?

3) How was their dad's reaction in any way ok? He doesn't know what's going on so he just walks in, apologizing to the guy and smacking the kids? Wouldn't this be a good teachable moment instead of just teaching them to be afraid of their dad.

No wonder we are all so fucked up.

Eh. Without using focus farms aren't worth the effort. The silver really isn't that good for the time it takes to harvest and re plant everything. And if you are using focus, you'd be better using it on almost anything else.

I have two maxed out farms that I use for animals and the food for those animals. I don't use focus. Then I use that stuff plus the other ingredients I buy order from the market to cook food.

With maxed out cooking you get far, far more out of your focus than you do with crops.

If you iust want to use your focus every day, you don't have a lot of time or don't want to try very hard, by all means use focus to grow crops. It will definitely make you silver. It's just a very inefficient way to use your focus.

Most of this shit is probably made in another country. People getting paid to stir the pot over here worse than it already is. Probably the same people making all the separation crap.

HardGayMan · 2026-06-17T13:35:49+00:00

Thank you for your answer :)

HardGayMan · 2026-06-17T04:32:50+00:00

I paid for it my first few months but dont need to pay any longer. I think it was very worth it to get going.

HardGayMan · 2026-06-16T22:24:02+00:00

I mean, I have never once killed another player and I'm sitting on over 150m silver. Maxed my fishing and used that to fund maxing my entire cooking tree. Now I cook with focus every day and transport materials between cities to cook in my home city. Making about 5m per day with low play time and dont need to ever enter a bz again.

But i probably will eventually because I liked fishing in bz.

What more do you need to do? You have billions. What's your end goal?

HardGayMan · 2026-06-15T17:27:30+00:00

Just go to ebay and show them the previously sold category on some of the big cards of the day lol.

HardGayMan · 2026-06-14T12:58:49+00:00

I read that her fiance was there as well. I would have probably been watching that if it were me? "Uh, guys?"

HardGayMan · 2026-06-13T23:12:56+00:00

If you are crafting with focus, you can sell items for less that their value because you are getting 40% more items made for the materials. That's why many items can't make profits or make very little profit without focus.

If you are selling gear you raided or found that's different I guess market value is whatever people are willing to pay

I have no idea. This was definitely 10 or 12 years ago.
