A Chef With no Stove? -can the cake be trusted?-

Just a quick thought on the new anniversary event.....
So there is this traveling Chef that you meet to get your CAKE to celebrate the 2 year anniversary (let's not talk about no celebration for 1 year). I get a voucher from the Crown Store (of all places), not a letter thanking me for playing the game or any creative background story. Then I activate the voucher and head off to the npc.
When I get to him he is on the docks.... a little odd (seeing he is a chef that needs a kitchen), but I play along. He asks me to get ingredients to make the cake.... so off I go and I am back in a flash! After handing him the ingredients he begins to make the cake...... wait.... he makes the cake on the docks? With NO oven, fire or anything remotely needed to actually bake a cake?!?! OH come on ZOS... that was just lazy!
Well, at least it gives the xp buff. I guess that was worth logging in for, well maybe if I actually play the game more than an hour before logging off to play another MMO.

All the ingredients he needs are right there next to him and on the boat behind him in the containers. Not even marked owned, so you don't even need to go anywhere.
Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

All I did was go to the grocer that was just like a 100 feet away... not a big deal, but knowing you can loot the containers near him is a plus for my alts.0 -
Mcwoods55✭✭✭You didn't see his pet dragon behind him? His dragon breath cooked the cake in 10 seconds. Can't believe you missed it.... You must have had a lag glitch because it was clear as day on my screen.1 -

Possibly. I did read the xp buff was bugged, but just recently found the time to get into game and get the quest done so I missed that whole debacle.0 -

He cheats by using a magical bowl of cake creation (he even says so in dialogue). It is most certainly odd, and I suspect daedric tampering with reality. Either that or he's an archmage who likes baking cake, or he inherited some ancient relic.US/AD - Dodge Hopper - Vet Imperial Templar | US/AD - Goj-ei-Raj - Vet Argonian Nightblade

RoyalPink06✭✭✭✭✭I lol'd at this little quest, especially when he pulls out the bowl, stirs it twice, then hands you a big-a$$ cake, iced and everything. So silly and so charming. Loved it.
Although, since both of my toons are already VR16, I wasn't sure what I needed the cake for? What did everyone else do with the experience for their VR16s?NA PS41 -

ah, I see. Not capped - at 390 something. I didn't think it also applied to CP. Thanks for the tip
Too bad I already totally wasted it on my one character. Now I know for the other one at least.
