I have been selling some spicy meatsauce borritos for 70-80k for 2 of them. I have not done the math to seeif this is worth it or not, but that seems reasonable for 2.

There is not a lot of money in crafting.
However, I would not go boss solo, HoS/ZS or even Medusa without food/pots.
I use the following food: Garlic Roasted Meat, Garlic Bread, Deluxe Seafood, Rainbow Crystal Candy, Delicious Swamp Mix, Seaworm Salad, Imperial Seafood Pie.

Here's one thing I do while leveling up alchemy, practice on the highest level thing I can make (Strong Medicine, lvl 41) and when I need to make some cash, I make some of the best moneymaker I have (Elixir of the Sage, no skill learned, but makes money).

To save time on gathering for EoS (2 nuggets and 5 saps!), planting lvl 19 seeds can give enough mats on one toon to make 10 batches or more of EoS with a bit of luck and a good harvest, which sells around 10-15k each.

Cooking does take a lot of time, but i think it is worth it

Keep in mind, making the highest level recipe you can isn't ALWAYS the best thing. It's situational. Example, say the best recipe you can make calls for 6 saps and 2 lumber, but the second or third best only calls for 3 sap and 1 lumber. You can make twice as many of the second/third best recipe as you can of the highest recipe. The highest recipe very likely won't give you twice th experience, though, so in this scenario, a lower level recipe is best. Or better yet, how about a white recipe that only takes bundles and timber? With cooking, you don't have to worry about Activate Runes; they're as rare as a burger from Char Hut. Its more of a burden for Alchemy since Blend Runes seem as common as a burger from McDonnalds (last I checked, they cook tires and put it in a bun... not a burger). If you want a money maker, switch to Alchemy and make some HP/MP pots. If you REALLY want a money maker, level up planting. It's a grind in the beginning, but get it up high and it makes pre-processed mats (you can harvest bundles and saps and stuff). Then just sell on AH to all the poor saps trying to make money off item production ^-^;

Go train, you'll find 10x more activates than blend. Blend are MUCH harder to come by (Found 10 maybe?), seeing as I am currently leveling a toon from 1-55.

Current level: 43

Every zone has atleast 1 type of mob that will drop blend runes. The trick is to find where they are. Check the alchemy section they do have some listed but not neccessarly all of them. I also found when leveling my alt train to do tiering that the spiders in logar also drop blend runes. Meh maybe I don't get alot but considering the number of alts I'm leveling it does give a good number. I would say buy them on the ah but frankly the cost of blend runes is really out of porpotion to the rest imho.

True finding BLEND Runes is an art form =) ,but ea.zone does have a spot/mob that drops it .

I still make decent money cooking, but not like I used to. Before some of the recent changes that killed food sales, I could make well over a million gold per day, just from cooking.

It's died out a bit, but I can still make pretty decent money. More than I can any other way.

johnsdea004: Read midknight's post more closely, he is not saying blends are more common than acti's. He's using strange analogies, but he is saying blends are rare and acti's are common. (CHAR HUT would not make RARE burgers, they would CHAR them lol, as in NOT rare)
