Winter Wonderland Chef


 * The was replaced in the 2014 winter event by Neelix.

The Winter Wonderland Chef is an NPC in Q's Winter Wonderland Event in 2013.

Outline
The Chef has taken over the winter event consumable foods section from the Holiday Item Vendor, and rather than being able to buy these items (as in previous years), you must collect recipes, and then collect, buy and or replicate certain ingredients to make these winter foods. The food created with these recipes can be fed to any type of tribble to create a winter tribble. These tasks take the form of missions.

Recipes
Recipes are required to make any of the winter event consumable foods. The recipes are found during the Winter Invasion PvE Defend the Gingerbread Colony mission. Note that a pop-up will appear on your screen when you are in close proximity to the recipe, and a green circle will appear on your map indicating the location. Once collected the recipes will appear in your inventory. When you've obtained a recipe, speak with the Chef to begin the mission and start collecting ingredients.

Ingredients
After obtaining a recipe you need the ingredients to make/bake the food. There are three categories of ingredient.

1. Baking Ingredients. Things such as Milk, Eggs, Cinnamon, Sugar. All these items are located throughout Q's Winter Wonderland. To find these locations bring up your map and look for the dotted circle areas.

After finding the baking ingredients for the food you are creating, you need one of the following types of ingredients.

2. Replicatable Ingredients. Things such as Ferengi Snail Juice, Tranya, Root Beer, anything that you can replicate.

3. Purchasable Ingredients. This covers ingredients you cannot replicate such as the Uttaberry or Ferengi Gree-Worms. These items are available on the exchange.

Once you have all necessary ingredients you can talk to the Chef and complete the mission and be rewarded with several of the food you have created and several holiday commodities such as Bolian Candles, Terran Holiday Ornaments and Targ Ear Muffs.
