Would like to get my cook up too, but I want it fast, cooking fish is kinda pointless.

How much would it cost me per hour to make wines and how much exp that is?

The goal is 90 cook.

Wines are 3.46 ± .2 gp/xp right now.

Is it cost effective or should I stick to fishies?

If you have a decent sized bank, wines are definitely the way to go.

If you don't have a decent sized bank, stick to cooking fish. It may be a lot slower, but if you compare it to other skills, it's still very fast xp.

Well then I'll stick to Swordfish then.

Depends on what is a decent sized bank, care to explain?

If you can afford it without breaking your bank, go for it.

Well then I'll stick to Swordfish then.

Decent sized bank as in being able to afford all the wines to your goal while still having enough GP left to use during/after making the wines for other things like resources, potions, food, etc.

All right then, I guess I do have mil or two to spare for them.

Whether you should wine has nothing to do with how large your bank is. What's relevant is income.

 

Last time a checked (a long time ago but things won't have changed *that* drastically), the tvc for parity between wines and lobsters was about 400k/hour.

^ it actually can have to do with your bank. if you just happen to have extra money, like me, more than enough to cover the buyables, etc., then you probably still want to do wines even if you value your time <400k (which i arguably do). You might say its hard to have a lot of money and value your money so low, but many things can decrease how much you value your time - you might, for example, just really not like to do the money generating things. You might not be able to afk them to the degree that you can making wines, which might significantly decrease their value to you.

oh, I think you you tend to think about what's optimal for a robot, and then map that onto what's optimal for a human. But humans aren't really robots, and we're not all the same. What's theoretically optimal might not be in the achievable space for a particular human.

 

So we have to be more relaxed with measures like if you value your time more than x do y - they are guides , not following them doesn't mean you are being less efficient than you can be. it just means you are not optimizing your theoretical efficiency.

You are putting words into my mouth.

I'm even more confused than I was before making this thread O_o

^, lol, something tells me part of that was my fault. But i bet this is not that uncommon around here, the op getting more than he asks for, and everything.

 

 

^^, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorrrrryyyyyy :sad: :sad: :sad:. I wont do it again. I promise. I swear. It was a mistake.

discussion that might get this thread locked, commenced:

 

all i said was I think you tend to _____. I'm happy for you to correct me. I don't think that was putting words in your mouth. maybe it wasn't exactly nice . So I'm sorry for that. But I was just saying how I infer you think about things.

 

I'll do the same thing again, anyway - you strike me as being a bit too defensive due to having to fend off so many wayward criticisms. I would suggest that saying I was putting words in your mouth was one of those overly defensive reactions.

K lol. Just tell me if Swordfish are better than Wines for me and why.

I believe you said you only have a few mils to spend. If that's true my general feeling would be that swordfish are better :). (one thing fish have going for them is that they're more afkable, if you value that).

Well then I'll stick to fish. Thanks again everyone.

If you can achieve your goal and make the money you used back in less time than it takes to reach your goal with swordfish, do wines.

^ That statement sort of needs the qualifier that making back the money is just as fun, easy, whatever for you as cooking the fish is, and that making wines is too :).

 

But yeah, that's a good way to think about it I find.

Locking this thread as the OP's question has been answered.

 

And it was getting a bit off-topic. :shame:
