Quest idea to make different foods/recipes worthwhile

We have a lovely abundance of different recipes and drinks that we can make with our kitchen tools. Now unless I am missing something, there's no real gain in some of these recipes other than one-off achievements, because there are 2 or 3 'best value' items that everyone keeps making and selling e.g. awesome stew, etc.

I think it would be nice if there was an incentive (i.e. way to profit) from making different recipes. The idea put forward here is a quest where some kind of Entity would request X foods per game day and you can get a currant and/or iMG reward. A lot of you may be familiar with this simple 'go-and-fetch' quest system if you've ever played *cough* Neopets, but I am sure the brilliant minds behind TS could think of something way more unique.

Here's to hoping!

  • yes! more incentive to use the full variety of our cooking options would be awesome, however it was implemented.

  • Here's one way that could work.
    A bit like musicblocks.
    You get more img if you haven't heard that one in a while, right?
    So....I give you:

    The Varied Diet!

    If you haven't eaten that particular food in a while, then...more energy!
    Be a nightmare to code and track, I'm sure.

    And I'd be immediately handicapped, because all I eat is raw meat and fresh milk.

  • +1  - Also like the idea someone proposed in one of the generic threads to have more recipes that provide more energy and mood.  Would like more variety in cooking, and especially love this idea to provide incentive to make those currently 'less useful' foods/drinks.  Like CTP's idea of a 'varied diet' too.

  • +.5 to CTP's idea.  I want to get it +1 except for the issue of bag space...

  • I love the Varied Diet idea.  I actually do eat a varied diet in-game because the thought of eating the same thing all the time bores me just as much as it would RL.  Besides, cooking in Glitch is fun!  It'd be so nice to have encouragement to do more of that.
