Halas meat pies

[sir0die]

man, i spent about 6 hours on christmas working on these things.
I've been farming mammaoth and wolves for well over a month.
Finaly got 10 stack of each meat (backpack full of each) 200 wolf/200 mammoth. Since i knew lion and bear were vender bought i didn't gather any of those.

So, i go buy about 60 stacks of milk, make myself a dairy spoon (made 3 actually sold 2 in the same zone i made them for 5 plat each), goo buy some benzoin and start making cream. My lack of atterntion to detail did not notice that each of these yeild 8 per success. So i had to fire up the second account and create a mule to hold all these creams i was making.
this mule has the standard packs (8 slot), so if you figue 8 packs with 8 slots, thats 64 stacks, plus another 64 stacks in bank, times 20 per stack equals roughly 2560 creams.

Then after that, turning them all into creamy fennel sauce. Carpal tunnel here i come. These yeild 6 for a success, soooooo, time to create a new mule just to hold all the creamy fennel sauce. I'm still not done with all the fennel sauces, filled up mule #2 with them and his all his bank slots with packs. 2560 creams times 6 equals about 15360 fennel sauces.

I filleted a few steaks, one stack and then creamed the fillets, please keep in mind that 1 wolf/mammoth meat yields 10 fillets, so 1 stack will make 10 stacks of fillets. I still have 9 stacks of wolf/mammy meat unfilleted, haven't bought the bear or lion yet, still need to make the dough, (was gonna wait on that till i found out how much mammy or wolf fillets i ended up with)

well, i still have hours of filleting, creaming, dough making and baking ahead of me. probably will need yet another mule to hold the stuff.

I'll be one pissed off Muther if 1900+ halas pies doesn't get me from 191 to pie triv lvl.

LOOK OUT MARKET, THERE IS GONNA BE A FLOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!! (inny server)

probably will be selling left ofver cream and fennel sauce also.

Looks like fun...

Now I know what to look forward to, for now trying to get to your 191 trivial.

Just need a few hundred eggs... and from the looks of what your doing, I'll then need a few hundred more after that /sigh

Click click click

Good luck to you, hope your not on Brell, where the Pies are down to 2pp when that one guy is on.

[Lilosh]

Assuming no fails, you will need 253 Basilisk eggs to make the 3800 dough required.

Since 13 of those combines will fail, (5%) Assume you need 266 Basilisk Eggs.

Good luck. :)

How are ya getting to 191? the best route i know is with pattymelts. You'll need a nonstick frying pan, either make it yourself or buy one in bazaar.

If you gonna make one, i'd recommend starting with making the ceramic linning, I had a pottery skill or 1, i bought a stack of each component in thurg and had 6 successes, I then went to Jagged Pines for cheese and 6 frying pan molds, if you goto SFG and enter that way, the mold and cheese in in the building with the banker. These are also available in PoK somewhere. Of the 6 attempt on the frying pan, my smithing skill was 42 at the time, i had 3 success, kept 1 and sold the others in bazaar for 10p.

once you have the cheese, goto any meat vendor and buy either lion or bear meat, and also buy loafs of bread. 1 cheese, 1 meat, 1 bread and frying pan, combine in spit or oven. fry pan returned on success or failure. This will get ya upto 191 easily.



as for those eggs, i guess i'll be in the baskilisk caves of JP for awhile.

hmmm, 1 stack of bask eggs, 1 stack of flour, 1 stack of milk will yeild 300 doughs. Dang, turn 3 stacks in 15 stacks. might need another mule just for the dough.

[Lilosh]

Sure must be nice to be able to create a mule whenever you dont want to bother managing your inventory.


:frown:

Half the fun of baking is having your inventory overflowing with ingrediants and finished product.

It's all about the spirit of the game... :(

Gee, I'm glad you're going to flood the market on Innoruuk... (will be keeping an eye out for 1pp Halas Pies... luckily you have not a lot to fear from a soloing rogue). :P

I think I will become a closet baker and destroy all of my baked goods that I use for skilling up, and then bake just for me. :P

[Feoni]

heheh Have fun !! =)

Thanks sir0die, I am a 91 blacksmither, so that wont be a problem... though I don't have any knowledge of pottery for the ceramic. I may just buy the pan.

Getting to 191 vendor bought instead of making noodles for pinemyer pasta and pasta with cheese will be much much easier.

Just didn't want to invest in a mixing bowl/frying pan, after your post that seems sooo trivial.

[Omardeth]

i hope your mules have pop so u can take them up there and get deluxe toolboxes cause pies are giant and won't fit in regular backpacks .. next time just make the cream and fennel sause as u need it per baking run .

[sir0die]

well, my second account is just EQ original, i was gonna tot the pies around in my sewing kits till i can get them on my trader mule.

I might create a gofer on my main account (all expasions enabled) and buy the tool boxes with that one, then tot the tool boxes to the mules.

do you know ( i cant remember off the top of my head) how many slots a large sewing kit has? 10 or 8? they are giant size. It might be easier to just give the mules some plat and send them out to buy a bunch of large sewing kits. Hmm, can't the tool boxes be made with smithing skill?


yep, trivial at 51. And all the supplies are available where they are. how many slots are the player made tool boxes? are they giant size also?

[Lilosh]

Large Sewing Kits are 8 slot containers , which are size LARGE.

You *NEED* toolboxes for pies. Or some other giant container.


Thank you, drive through.

When I was a newbie I found out the most awesome exploit...

You could say you were a warrior to the warrior guy, and that you wanted to make armor, and he'd give you a 10 slot container. I thought it was sooo cool that my non warrior could lie, happy days.

Found a few of those people, and to this day I have one or 2 of those 10 slot containers on my characters in their banks.

Player made toolboxes are 10 slot, pretty sure, I accidentially made a few with my first character....

2 metal bits and water... no mold, guess they fixed that since then, hehe

[Taniel]

Noooo, Eriste, don't close yourself in from the rest of the people. :( Innoruuk still needs your baked goods; I preferentially and ONLY buy food from your merchant, since you so kindly named in another thread. Just because one guy's gonna flood the market, (which I'll wait to see happen before I start panicking) don't stop yourself from doing what you enjoy so much.

As to Sir0die, do the entire server a favor and sell your pies to an NPC. Our economy's wierd in the extreme anyways, don't ruin everyone else's chance to make a bit of cash on those hellish pastries just because you're making enough to feed Africa for the next two centuries. Mass flooding is horrible for the server. :evil:

[Fror]

Lilosh,

Despite the name, Large Sewing Kits do indeed hold GIANT items.

[sir0die]

i'm not gonna flood the market, i only said it for a chuckle. I wasn't serious, i'll have a trader that will have 2 maybe 3 stacks on him, and priced about the same as the other traders. the rest will be distirbuted to guildmates that want some, the rest will probably sit on a mule for a long time

:D

[Borick]

The Rathe had better watch out.

I'm on the skillup path. Even after handing out pies to all of my friends, my bazaar mule has 600 pies in stock, and I'm now working on Misty Thicket Picnics (Easier to make, IMO). I have 2000 combines of MTP's and at 212 skill I'm getting about 20% success.

Once I'm done, I should have at least one vendor with over 1000 baked miraculous meals for sale at around 4PP each. Since most of the bazaar vendors on my server sell pies at about 6pp each, I should be able to cause at least a momentary market crash. :)

[Taniel]

Thank you, sir0die, that really does reassure me. ;) Glad to know you respect the market as well. And to know that you're not going to be the recipient of a beatdown, tradeskiller-style. :twisted:

[EristeofInnoruuk]

Always nice to see a tradeskiller that respects the market... I was just joking before about not selling... if I didn't sell, how would I be able to afford my new tradeskill, brewing? I was going to wait until I hit 250 baking to even start another tradeskill, but 202 is good enough for now... I need a tiny break. Besides, once I master brewing and baking, I can fulfill my lifelong dream of becoming a caterer, and abandon this lonely life of crime... :P

-Eriste

[sir0die]

unfortuanatly, the skill i blindly chose first was tailoring, i soon ended up starting smithing for studs and boning, then brewing for the heady kiolas, then baking for the (at the time profitable) fishrolls to finance my TSing. I eventually started leveling the others, as those skills increased they started needing stuff with ceramic linnings and poison vials, sooo pottery got added to the list.

tell ya one thing, when you are working on all the skills all the time, it seems like everything that drops off of anything has some use in the game.


a quick way to get your brewing up to 122 for about 10p or less, got OOT and buy a crapload of fishing grub, they are now also available in PoK. Combine with a flask of water in brew barrel. you'll have alot of failures, but what the heck, it's like 1silver 4 copper per combine. take ya maybe 60 - 70 minutes. just sell back what make, it's fetid essence btw. If ya mastered baking, and hour of 2 ingredient combines will be childs play.

Here's something on the bags to hold pies.

Fill up your bank slots with trader satchels, the extra weight of the satchel isn't important since the bag is in your bank. The gnomes in iceclad also sell the deluxe toolboxes if you don't happen to have PoP

[Zabu]

When I had a huge run of success with the pies, I handed off about 20 stacks to my warrior. Then I located someone who was skilling up on Grobb liquidized meat, and bought out their successes, also for the warrior.

I suspect he has enough food and drink now to take him to level 65 (and beyond,) not to mention the extra freebie stats!

[sir0die]

yeah, as a baker, you never go hungry. :D

except when naked doing a corpse run. :P

[sir0die]

ok, wis is 202, baking skill 191, no geerlock, dex (for those that thinks it matters) 128.

40 attempts - 30 successes - no skill point

[EristeofInnoruuk]

I made ten stacks of pies today... no skill ups. But, even with my Intelligence gear on, KEI, and a Misty Thicket Picnic, my Intelligence is only 122. Bleargh. Want to start a club?

Also, try to have your pies on your vendor over the weekend... I put mine up at 8pp (the average price among the other tradeskillers that I know) and they usually sell over the weekend... I don't know if there are less vendors then, or if there are more buyers, but you should give it a try.

[sir0die]

i saw a bunch of folks selling them, ranging from 3p on up to 25, i priced mine to be the 3rd cheapest, 5p 5g each, the 2 guys lower than me had 110 pies combined. So i guess i'm underselling you, but i'm not gouging the market either.
