149624-are-there-any-cooking-guides-with-variant-discovery-points

Hi all, Now that the bugged recipes are FINALLY drop-able (that took awhile) i am looking to start leveling cooking.  I was wondering if anyone knew of any guides as google does not seem to be very helpful. Specifically though not a real guide just one with the circuit board images of variant discovery points so that i don't have to manually guess and use mats for each discovery attempt. if one does not exist i may (albeit not likely) make one myself
 
. I will need confirmation however that everyone persons discovery points are the same and that it is not randomly assigned when one first takes up cooking.

			so far as I know the discovery points are random per person. It has In the past, made for some nigh impossible variants where some people have breezed through while others blow every Catalyst under the sun and "hope" it works.	
----
			This is still the case afaik, which at first sort of makes sense so that everyone has to discover them until you realize that some characters are inherently screwed for when it comes to making stuff.	
----
			In addition, the discovery target for a variant and the crafting target for that same variant once you discover it can be different.	
----
			Get Virag's Autocoordinate and Athena I think it's called and just run them even if they're not API 11.I've had no problems with cooking apart from the garbage drop rates on certain meats and recipes.

			I've found that autocoordinate sometimes will fail badly at crafting something, like it doesn't even get close. Of those times it failed I noticed the game lagged.

			I did experience some issues with this recently and I don't think it picks the safest route basically.  I was looking for a way to edit the recorded route in order to get to the final destination because there are safer ones than it chooses.  I haven't had a chance to take a proper look yet but if I work it out so you can change the ingredients it's using I'll stick it here!
