I am working on tier 2 drinks and foods.
What is the standard selling price of drinks and foods to broker?
Also, the complexity of foods and drinks can stand longer now? Or in next big patch?
Seems many people like buy/ summon food rather than buy in broker...

next patch for major food changes.
As to prices, I tend to charge 2s per item for tier 3 food, 2.5s for tier 3 drink.
Others charge a lot more, some charge a little less. Whatever seems to sell..

Araidne! The Tier 3 food and drink sells to the vendor for 4s! Some of them cost almost that much to make! Are you sure youre not talking about tier 2 items?
4 silver ea is pre-adjustment (nerf) pricing.
I charge
T3
3 sp / food
4 sp /drink
T4
6 sp / food
8 sp / drink
I also accept 2 for 1 raw shrub forage for finished on drinks or 1 for 1 on food (steaks, fish product) etc. This is all pre patch. It could change a lot post time(yield) changes when adding two finished food together might make more financial (and xp) sense.

tier 2 definitely doesn't sell to vendor for 4s any more hun. we've had to seriously lower our prices... most items sell for 10-35c

Thank for reply.
So far, the effect of interim food is the same as finished one?
Hope next patch will make the food become more useful. And more detailed information and variant about food. So that consumers can make more choice on food. Keep fun on cooking!

T3 Food/Drink sells for 10s each on Guk and it is the price we have got most of the provisioners to agree to. The reason being that these items last 1.5 hours or more and the equivalent vendor purchased items cost about 4.5s each. So three vendor purchased items cost 13.5s which is more expensive than the homemade foods anyway. Also, the harvesters have been charging 2s each for the raw materials. Don't forget that you do 2 or more combines for each product that you sell and it gets quite time consuming, not to mention the fuel and ingredients cost.

The equivalent tier 3 vendor sold items don't cost 4.5 silver each. They cost 77 copper each.
This is standard NPC pricing:
5c ... Tier 1 average satiation, 30 min duration
17c ... Tier 2 average satiation, 30 min duration
77c ... Tier 3 average satiation, 30 min duration
4s ... Tier 4 average satiation, 30 min duration
12s ... Tier 5 average satiation, 30 min duration
It costs slightly more on the road (40% markup), but players get the advantage of convenience there.

I've been selling stacks of T3 food and drink for 95 silver, (just under 5s each) and T3 drink for 115 silver (just under 6 silver each).
I'm thinking of raising my prices, because I have more customers than I can really keep up with.
This is on the Antonia Bayle server.

the only reason I wouldn't sell out of T3 stuff at 1g/stack (5s per) is due to other Provisioners undercutting me. Due to the undercutting I don't bother with Broker junk, but people send me tells when there's none up and they need food even though they know the wholesaler sells T2 stuff super cheap and if they waited they could get stuff for 2s per.
charging less than 1g/stack isn't worth my time, and I find it questionable if 1g/stack is or not since I've only been selling "finish" items lately.
