i would say that food will go up in price, however the ability to use 3rd party software for collecting cooking mats and shards should stop prices from getting out of hand. rate of sale will definately go up but price will most likely be pretty stable. also it is very easy/cheap to lvl cooking so there will be alot of competitiveness on the market. probably will be a breakeven sale on nq, and maybe 40-50% markup on hq. the expensive food will be food that requires farming meat from mobs because to my knowledge that is limited by spawn/droprate, and cannot be collected by the thousands with 3rd party software.
