Cooking should be like in FFXI HQ results yield more quantity plus HQ status

[Ryans]

For thr HQ in FFXI, I find it strange...

You got a piece of meat, when HQ you get a few more pieces. That does not make sense.

It makes sense if the HQ makes you more efficient in your use of the meat. I know I cut off some parts of certain meat occasionally when I am cooking. If you are a good enough cook, you could probably make use of those parts.
